Master Yi vs Zyra Matchup Summary

The Master Yi vs Zyra matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 25 recent matches analyzed, Master Yi wins with a 60.0% win rate compared to Zyra'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 Zyra 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 Zyra leads by 1.1s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Master Yi players can confidently pick into Zyra and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Zyra away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Utility

1.3Zyra
Zyra brings significantly more crowd control than Master Yi, with 1.1 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Zyra far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
1,137Master Yi
584Zyra
Master Yi vastly out-sustains Zyra, healing and mitigating 553 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Master Yi can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Zyra is forced to recall.
