Master Yi vs Jhin Matchup Summary

Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Master Yi wins with a 60.0% win rate compared to Jhin's 40.0%, giving Master Yi a 20.0 percentage point advantage. Master Yi dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Jhin players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.

5.8Jhin
Jhin significantly out-farms Master Yi by 0.9 CS per minute, accumulating an estimated 13 CS lead by mid game.

Damage
1,005Master Yi
745Jhin
Master Yi heavily out-damages Jhin by 260 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Jhin should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Master Yi's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
14,674Master Yi
13,561Jhin
Master Yi generates a commanding 1,113 more gold per game than Jhin. This substantial economic advantage means Master Yi consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
0.1Master Yi
0.9Jhin
Jhin brings significantly more crowd control than Master Yi, with 0.9 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Jhin far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Master Yi should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
1,154Master Yi
577Jhin
Master Yi vastly out-sustains Jhin, healing and mitigating 578 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Master Yi can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Jhin is forced to recall.
