Vi vs Master Yi

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Vi's early game pressure and lockdown CC let her contest river and force picks before Master Yi reaches item spikes.
Prioritize early invades and skirmishes to disrupt Master Yi's farming and delay his scaling power.

Jungle Plan

Full clear when no early gank opportunity exists, then look to invade Master Yi's jungle before he completes key items.
Contest Scuttle only when lane priority supports it; otherwise, secure vision and prepare for counter-ganks.
Use (Q) and (R) to lock down isolated targets and convert picks into dragon or Rift Herald control.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 when Master Yi's early dueling is weaker but can punish missed (Q).
Beware of forced smite fights when Master Yi has reset potential with (R) active.
Respect lanes without priority that cannot follow your engages, as Master Yi can capitalize on numbers advantage.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear to enable early ganks on lanes with flash down or weak positioning.
Fight for first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to secure river control and deny Master Yi vision.
Avoid extended fights early if (Q) is missed or lanes can't follow, as Master Yi's sustain and resets punish overcommitment.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) lockdown, enabling guaranteed picks that can snowball objective control.
Early item spikes enhance Vi's dueling and objective damage, increasing her ability to contest Master Yi's farming tempo.
Master Yi's level 6 (R) and first item spike increase his reset threat; Vi must engage after key CC is used to avoid being outpaced.

Win conditions

Convert early ganks and lockdown CC into dragon and Rift Herald control to deny Master Yi scaling.
Maintain high jungle tempo to pressure Master Yi's farming path and force him into risky fights.
Use vision and lane priority to set up picks with (Q) and (R), snowballing leads before Master Yi reaches carry power.
