Master Yi vs Nami Matchup Summary

The Master Yi vs Nami matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 6 recent matches analyzed, Master Yi wins with a 83.3% win rate compared to Nami's 16.7%, giving Master Yi a 66.7 percentage point advantage. Master Yi dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Nami players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Nami leads by 1.1s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Master Yi players can confidently pick into Nami and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Nami away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Damage
777Master Yi
370Nami
Master Yi heavily out-damages Nami by 406 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Nami 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
11,627Master Yi
8,649Nami
Master Yi generates a commanding 2,979 more gold per game than Nami. 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
1.2Nami
Nami brings significantly more crowd control than Master Yi, with 1.1 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Nami 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
793Master Yi
850Nami
Nami heals and mitigates 58 more damage per minute than Master Yi, providing moderate extra durability. This sustain edge allows Nami to stay in lane longer between recalls and gradually win extended wars of attrition. Consider building early grievous wounds if playing Master Yi.
