Nami vs Master Yi Matchup Summary

The Nami vs Master Yi matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play.

Nami dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Master Yi players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.

Farming
0.8Nami
1.9Master Yi
Master Yi significantly out-farms Nami by 1.1 CS per minute, accumulating an estimated 16 CS lead by mid game.

Damage
377Nami
919Master Yi
Master Yi heavily out-damages Nami by 541 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
11,155Nami
13,549Master Yi
Master Yi generates a commanding 2,393 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. Nami should focus on cost-effective item choices and avoid unnecessary deaths to prevent falling further behind.
Utility
1.0Nami
0.1Master Yi
Nami brings significantly more crowd control than Master Yi, with 0.9 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
1,011Nami
781Master Yi
Nami vastly out-sustains Master Yi, healing and mitigating 230 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Nami can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Master Yi is forced to recall.
