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
Çift SaldırıMaster Yi art arda gerçekleştirdiği her birkaç normal saldırıda bir iki kere vurur.
Q
Alfa VuruşuMaster Yi savaş alanına gözle görülmeyecek bir hızla ışınlanarak, yoluna çıkan birden fazla birime fiziksel hasar verir ve bu esnada hedef alınamaz hale gelir. Alfa Vuruşu kritik vuruş gerçekleştirebilir ve canavarlara ilave fiziksel hasar verir. Normal saldırılar Alfa Vuruşu'nun bekleme süresini azaltır.
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
MeditasyonMaster Yi zihnen odaklanarak bedenini dinçleştirir ve can yenilerken, kısa süreliğine daha az hasar alır. Ayrıca Master Yi, Çift Saldırı yükleri biriktirirken odaklandığı her saniye Wuju Stili ile Gözükara'nın kalan sürelerini duraklatır.
Strong: heals and reduces damage mid-fight. Weak: Grievous Wounds cuts the heal — anti-heal makes his dives losing trades.
E
Wuju StiliNormal saldırılara ilave gerçek hasar ekler.
R
GözükaraMaster Yi eşi benzeri olmayan bir çevikliğe kavuşur. Hareket ve saldırı hızını geçici olarak arttırır ve tüm yavaşlatma etkilerine karşı bağışıklık kazanır. Yetenek etkinken şampiyon katletmek veya asist almak Gözükara'nın süresini uzatır. Katletme veya asist halinde diğer yeteneklerinin bekleme süresini pasif olarak azaltır.
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.
