Master Yi vs Yorick Matchup Summary

The Master Yi vs Yorick matchup is a moderate matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 17 recent matches analyzed, Yorick wins with a 52.9% win rate compared to Master Yi's 47.1%, giving Yorick a 5.9 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Yorick controls the early laning stage, but Master Yi outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Yorick needs to press advantages before Master Yi reaches their power spikes, while Master Yi should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Yorick leads by 0.1s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. While Yorick is slightly favored, Master Yi can absolutely win this lane through smart trading patterns and wave management. Focus on playing around your cooldowns, conceding CS only when necessary, and capitalizing on Yorick's mistakes. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Yorick dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 71.4% win rate — a 42.9 percentage point lead over Master Yi. This lopsided early game means Yorick can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Master Yi is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 60.0% win rate — 20.0 points above Yorick. Extended games heavily favor Master Yi, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Yorick must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Master Yi reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Master Yi survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
