Who Wins
- You win pre-6 convincingly through superior base stats, sustain from Q, and ability to trade with W stun into Q combo.
- Post-6 you still have the advantage since Yi's R doesn't provide enough combat stats to overcome your burst potential and built-in sustain.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is E in, auto-W-Q-auto, then E out when Yi tries to retaliate with autos.
- This maximizes your damage while minimizing his ability to trade back effectively with his basic attack-focused kit.
Wave Control
- Push early levels to establish lane priority and deny Yi farm, as he scales much better into mid-late game teamfights.
- Maintain a slow push or freeze when ahead to zone him from CS and prevent his power scaling.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your E aggressively when Yi has Q available, as he can Q your E dash and potentially turn trades around.
- Avoid extended trades without fury bar management, as Yi's sustained DPS with E active can outdamage you in longer engagements.
