How to beat Master Yi

Common role: Jungle

A hyper-carry auto-attacker who becomes untargetable and resets his ult on kills.

What makes Master Yi dangerous

Master Yi is untargetable during his Q (Alpha Strike), heals with his W, and his ultimate makes him faster and immune to slows while cutting through a team. If he snowballs, his Q resets on kills let him wipe entire fights. He is farm-dependent and useless if behind.

How to play against Master Yi

• 1Hard CC beats him — but he can dodge single-target CC with his Q. Chain your CC or save it for after his Q, then lock him down.
• 2His ult ignores slows, so bring stuns, roots, and knock-ups instead. A single well-timed stun deletes him in a fight.
• 3Punish him early: invade and pressure his jungle before level 6. A behind Yi never gets the items he needs to carry.
• 4Don't let him reset — never fight a snowballing Yi with your team clumped and low. Peel him off your carries and burst him before he gets a kill.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Completely farm/snowball dependent — weak when behind.
• ✓Melee auto-attacker: hard CC shuts him off.
• ✓No ranged threat and no waveclear pre-items.
• ✓Vulnerable while his Q is on cooldown.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Master Yi's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Doppelschlag

  Alle paar aufeinanderfolgende normale Angriffe schlägt Master Yi doppelt zu.

• Q
  Eröffnungsschlag

  Master Yi teleportiert sich blitzschnell über das Schlachtfeld und verursacht auf seinem Weg an mehreren Einheiten normalen Schaden, während er gleichzeitig nicht anvisiert werden kann. „Eröffnungsschlag“ kann kritisch treffen und verursacht zusätzlichen normalen Schaden an Monstern. Normale Angriffe verringern die Abklingzeit von „Eröffnungsschlag“.

  Strong: Alpha Strike makes him untargetable, dodging single-target CC. Weak: chain your CC or save it for after Q, then lock him down.

• W
  Meditation

  Master Yi regeneriert seinen Körper durch geistige Konzentration. Er stellt Leben wieder her und erleidet für kurze Zeit verringerten Schaden. Außerdem erhält Master Yi Steigerungen für „Doppelschlag“ und pausiert die übrige Dauer von „Wuju-Stil“ und „Highlander“ für jede Sekunde, die er sich konzentriert.

  Strong: heals and reduces damage mid-fight. Weak: Grievous Wounds cuts the heal — anti-heal makes his dives losing trades.

• E
  Wuju-Stil

  Verleiht normalen Angriffen zusätzlichen absoluten Schaden.

• R
  Highlander

  Dank seiner unvergleichlichen Beweglichkeit sind Master Yis Angriffs- und Lauftempo kurzzeitig erhöht, während er gleichzeitig immun gegen Verlangsamung ist. Während dieser Effekt aktiv ist, erhöhen Champion-Kills oder Unterstützungen die Dauer von „Highlander“. Die Abklingzeiten seiner anderen Fähigkeiten werden bei Kills/Unterstützungen passiv verringert.

  Strong: huge attack/move speed and slow immunity to cut through a team. Weak: ignores slows, so bring stuns/roots/knock-ups — one stun deletes him.

Itemization

Yi is AD on-hit: armor and attack-speed slows (Randuin's Omen, Frozen Heart) wreck him, and Grievous Wounds cuts his W healing. Tenacity and hard CC (Exhaust, stuns) are the reliable answers in fights.
