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
  双重打击

  易大师每攻击数次，就会同时对目标进行2次打击。

• Q
  阿尔法突袭

  易以肉眼难以发觉的速度穿梭于战场，对多个敌人造成物理伤害，同时处于不可被选取的状态下。阿尔法突袭可以暴击，并对野怪造成额外物理伤害。普通攻击可以减少阿尔法突袭的冷却时间。

  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
  冥想

  易通过集中念力来活化他的身体，从而回复生命值，并暂时减少所受的伤害。此外，易还会为双重打击充能，并暂停无极剑道和高原血统的持续时长。

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

• E
  无极剑道

  提供额外真实伤害至普攻

• R
  高原血统

  易以超乎想象的身法进行移动，短时间内提升移动速度和攻击速度，并免疫减速效果。该技能激活期间，易在参与击杀一名敌方英雄的同时，会延长该技能的持续时间。在击杀和助攻后，也会被动地减少易其它技能的冷却时间。

  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.
