Lee Sin vs Master Yi

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Lee Sin's strong early invade and river control to deny Master Yi free farm and prevent his scaling.
Prioritize early river skirmishes and counter-jungling to snowball before Master Yi hits his item spikes.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize invading Master Yi's jungle when nearby lanes have priority to force him off camps.
Fight for first Scuttle only when you have lane priority and can secure vision control.
Use (Q) and (W) mobility to engage or disengage around camps, respecting Master Yi's all-in threat when his cooldowns are up.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights when (R) or key cooldowns are available to prevent lethal all-ins.
Be cautious during forced Smite fights where Master Yi's sustain and damage can outlast you if low health.
Watch for enemy jungler ganks or counter-invades coinciding with Master Yi's aggressive early pathing.

Early game

Start on your strong side for a quick, healthy clear to contest first Scuttle and set vision.
Secure early river vision and Scuttle to block Master Yi's safe pathing and gank angles.
Avoid extended fights without lane priority as Master Yi can out-sustain and punish overcommitment.

Power spikes

Level 3 powerspike grants full kit for strong invades and dueling; use it to force river fights and camp contests.
Respect Master Yi's first item spike and level 6 (R) which increase his dueling and reset potential.
After your jungle item and level 6, leverage (R) displacement to isolate targets and secure kills or objectives.

Win conditions

Convert early river control and jungle pressure into securing dragons and Rift Herald to deny Master Yi resources.
Use superior pathing and vision to invade Master Yi's jungle repeatedly, denying farm and forcing him behind.
Coordinate with lanes to set up counterganks where your mobility and burst can snowball leads before Master Yi scales.
