Master Yi vs Vayne Matchup Summary

The Master Yi vs Vayne matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 10 recent matches analyzed, Master Yi wins with a 77.8% win rate compared to Vayne's 22.2%, giving Master Yi a 55.6 percentage point advantage. Master Yi dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Vayne 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 Vayne leads by 0.3s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Master Yi players can confidently pick into Vayne and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Vayne away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
