Master Yi vs Diana

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Master Yi should focus on full clearing and maintaining jungle tempo to reach key item spikes before engaging Diana.
Avoid early river fights and invades against Diana until lanes have priority or her key cooldowns are used.
This matchup is a scale versus mid-game skirmish; Master Yi wins by out-farming and cleaning up after Diana's burst is committed.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize full clears and camp sequencing that preserve health and reset cooldowns to hit item power spikes.
Fight for river control and Scuttle when lanes can move first, using vision to deny Diana's objective setups.
Counter-gank Diana's early pressure by tracking her pathing and responding when her (R) is down or after she commits to ganks.

Danger windows

Early jungle fights and river skirmishes before level 6 are risky due to Diana's burst and mobility.
Avoid isolated fights when (Q) and (E) are up and she can reset her dash on marked targets.
Objective setups where Diana can land (R) on multiple targets pose high threat; enter fights only after key CC and burst are used.

Early game

Start with a full clear to hit safe reset timing and avoid early fights where (Q)+(E) burst can punish.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to reduce risk of getting collapsed on.
Avoid invading Diana before level 6 unless you have clear vision and lane support to counter-gank her.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to chase and reset on low-health targets once (R) is spent or her burst is used.
First item spike improves your sustained damage and objective speed; keep camp tempo high to reach this safely.
Respect Diana's level 3 (Q)+(W)+(E) burst combo and level 6 (R) for all-in potential; avoid fighting when these are available and unspent.

Win conditions

Win by maintaining high jungle tempo and full clearing to reach item spikes faster than Diana.
Use (Q) and (R) to clean up skirmishes after Diana commits her burst and crowd control.
Control river vision and coordinate with lanes to contest dragons and Rift Herald when Diana's engage tools are on cooldown.
