Master Yi vs Ahri Matchup Summary

The Master Yi vs Ahri matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Master Yi wins with a 60.0% win rate compared to Ahri's 40.0%, giving Master Yi a 20.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Ahri controls the early laning stage, but Master Yi outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Ahri 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 Ahri leads by 0.4s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Master Yi players can confidently pick into Ahri and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Ahri away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Ahri dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 66.7% win rate — a 33.3 percentage point lead over Master Yi. This lopsided early game means Ahri 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 100.0% win rate — 100.0 points above Ahri. 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: Ahri 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.
