Master Yi vs Pyke Matchup Summary

The Master Yi vs Pyke matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 7 recent matches analyzed, Master Yi wins with a 57.1% win rate compared to Pyke's 42.9%, giving Master Yi a 14.3 percentage point advantage. Master Yi dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Pyke 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 Pyke leads by 0.8s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Master Yi players can confidently pick into Pyke and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Pyke away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

605Pyke

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
1.0Pyke
Pyke brings significantly more crowd control than Master Yi, with 0.8 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Pyke far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
879Master Yi
717Pyke

This massive durability gap means Master Yi can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Pyke is forced to recall.
