Vi vs Master Yi Matchup Summary

The Vi vs Master Yi matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 228 recent matches analyzed, Vi wins with a 54.0% win rate compared to Master Yi's 46.0%, giving Vi a 7.9 percentage point advantage. Vi 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. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Vi leads by 0.6s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Vi players can confidently pick into Master Yi and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Master Yi away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

735Master Yi

Sustain
1,451Vi
1,232Master Yi
Vi vastly out-sustains Master Yi, healing and mitigating 219 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.
