Zac vs Master Yi Matchup Summary

The Zac vs Master Yi matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 38 recent matches analyzed, Zac wins with a 59.5% win rate compared to Master Yi's 40.5%, giving Zac a 18.9 percentage point advantage. Zac 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 Zac leads by 1.1s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Zac 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.

Farming
1.5Zac
1.8Master Yi
Zac and Master Yi farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.3 CS/min difference. Neither champion holds a meaningful farming advantage, so lane dominance will come from trading and jungle interaction rather than CS leads.
Damage
609Zac
893Master Yi
Master Yi heavily out-damages Zac by 284 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Zac 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

14,283Master Yi
Master Yi generates a commanding 1,918 more gold per game than Zac. This substantial economic advantage means Master Yi consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
1.4Zac
0.3Master Yi
Zac brings significantly more crowd control than Master Yi, with 1.1 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Zac far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
3,227Zac
1,190Master Yi
Zac vastly out-sustains Master Yi, healing and mitigating 2,038 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Zac can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Master Yi is forced to recall.
