Vladimir vs Master Yi Matchup Summary

The Vladimir vs Master Yi matchup is essentially a coin-flip matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 8 recent matches analyzed, Vladimir wins with a 50.0% win rate compared to Master Yi's 50.0%, giving Vladimir a 0.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Master Yi controls the early laning stage, but Vladimir outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Master Yi needs to press advantages before Vladimir reaches their power spikes, while Vladimir should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Vladimir leads by 716 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Vladimir has a statistical edge, but the margin is close enough that respecting Master Yi'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.

Master Yi dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 100.0% win rate — a 100.0 percentage point lead over Vladimir. This lopsided early game means Master Yi can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Vladimir is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 80.0% win rate — 60.0 points above Master Yi. Extended games heavily favor Vladimir, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Master Yi must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Vladimir reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Vladimir survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
