Scuttle Contest

  • You win scuttle fights at level 3 due to your E-Q combo providing guaranteed engage and knockup, while Master Yi lacks reliable gap closers or escapes at this stage.
  • From level 6, you can only guarantee kills if you land E-Q combo first and have follow-up damage, as Yi's R makes him immune to slows and gives him movement speed to potentially escape your burst.

Predicted Jungle Path

  • Master Yi will likely start bot side krugs/gromp, clear towards scuttle, then look for a full clear into back or gank opportunities around 3:30-4:00.
  • He prioritizes farming over early ganking and will avoid river fights unless he has a significant advantage or backup from laners.

Invade or Not

  • You should invade Yi's jungle after successful ganks when you know his location, particularly targeting his krugs or gromp camps around 6-8 minutes when he's likely on the opposite side.
  • Early invades (pre-6) are risky unless you have lane priority, as Yi can outrun you through his jungle and you lack the sustained damage to finish him quickly.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste your E-Q combo on minions or use it for gap closing without kill potential, as this leaves you vulnerable to Yi's superior sustained damage and mobility.
  • Avoid extended trades in jungle without backup, as Yi's passive and Q resets will outdamage your burst combo if the fight drags on.
