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
  2연속 공격

  마스터 이는 몇 차례 연속으로 기본 공격을 한 이후에 2번 연속 공격합니다.

• Q
  일격 필살

  마스터 이가 전장을 순식간에 가로질러 여러 명의 적 유닛에게 물리 피해를 입히며, 그동안 대상으로 지정할 수 없는 상태가 됩니다. 일격 필살은 치명타가 발동하며 몬스터에게 추가 물리 피해를 입힐 수 있습니다. 기본 공격을 하면 일격 필살의 재사용 대기시간이 감소합니다.

  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
  명상

  마스터 이가 정신을 집중하며 체력을 회복해, 짧은 시간 동안 받는 피해량이 감소합니다. 정신을 집중하는 동안 매초 2연속 공격 중첩을 얻고 최후의 전사와 우주류 검술의 남은 지속시간이 일시 정지됩니다.

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

• E
  우주류 검술

  기본 공격에 추가 고정 피해가 적용됩니다.

• R
  최후의 전사

  마스터 이가 엄청난 속도로 이동하며 순간적으로 자신의 이동 속도와 공격 속도를 높이고 모든 둔화 효과에 대해 면역이 됩니다. 스킬이 활성화된 동안 적 챔피언을 처치하거나 어시스트를 올리면 최후의 전사 지속시간이 늘어납니다. 적 챔피언을 처치하거나 어시스트를 올리면 기본 지속 효과로 다른 스킬들의 재사용 대기시간이 감소합니다.

  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.
