Learn how to play with Master Yi with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Engage together the moment Master Yi activates his R (Highlander) — the 7-second window of bonus attack speed and movement speed with immunity to slows is his strongest fighting period.
Basic Team Fight Skirmish
Avoid forcing fights without him in the early game — Master Yi needs to powerfarm to reach his item spikes and has little impact until enemies clearly overextend.
Basic Lane Phase
Help him close out takedowns — each one cuts his basic ability cooldowns by 70% and, while his R is active, extends Highlander's duration by 7 seconds, making him exponentially more dangerous the longer a fight goes.
Team Fight
Have your crowd control ready just before Master Yi arrives for a gank — he has no built-in CC of his own, so your slows, roots, or stuns are what actually lock down the target.
Lane Phase
Hold your crowd control until Master Yi reappears from his Q (Alpha Strike) — he's untargetable for roughly a second while marking targets, so using CC during the vanish wastes it.
Team Fight Skirmish
Clear enemy vision and place control wards before Baron or Dragon spawns — Master Yi can solo objectives when ahead, but he still needs a safe approach to avoid being ambushed while doing it.
Late Game
In late-game teamfights, position between Master Yi and the enemy's crowd control sources — he scales into a heavy damage threat but a single stun or root can shut him down completely.
