Master Yi vs Vi Matchup Summary

The Master Yi vs Vi matchup is a moderate matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 81 recent matches analyzed, Master Yi wins with a 51.9% win rate compared to Vi's 48.1%, giving Master Yi a 3.7 percentage point advantage. Master Yi dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Vi 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 Vi leads by 0.7s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Master Yi has a statistical edge, but the margin is close enough that respecting Vi's strengths is important. Trade when cooldowns are favorable, track the enemy jungler, and build toward your strongest item spikes to convert the slight advantage into a decisive lead. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Farming
1.3Master Yi

Damage
856Master Yi
678Vi
Master Yi heavily out-damages Vi by 178 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Vi 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.

0.3Master Yi
1.0Vi
Vi provides 0.7 seconds more crowd control per minute than Master Yi, offering better gank setup potential and slightly more team fight utility. This CC advantage helps Vi coordinate with their jungler and control the pace of skirmishes.
Sustain
1,262Master Yi
1,560Vi
Vi vastly out-sustains Master Yi, healing and mitigating 299 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Vi can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Master Yi is forced to recall.

Master Yi holds the advantage at every stage of the game, making this a consistently favorable matchup from lane through late game team fights. Vi players should look for outplays, team-dependent strategies, and picks rather than relying on scaling to win this matchup.
