Kha'Zix

Has high burst damage and is hard to kill after level 6. Avoid being isolated, reduce his Q damage with a short W or stall some time with a longer W. His invisibility is the main counter here since you cannot damage him in that time which means your abilities might run out or he could escape and make you waste your time.

Elise

Can cancel your W or burst you while you're CC'ed, she also has untargetability which makes it hard to kill her. Avoid her if she has a red buff before level 6 since she can kite or chase you and either wait for her to miss her cocoon or dodge it with your Q. Qss can also help.

Rek'Sai

Has alot of Damage but also a almost unavoidable knockup, good mobility and untargetability on her R which makes it hard to duel her. Try Avoiding this champ if you can.

Zac

Just annoying. Dodge his stuff either with your Q or your high MMS. Can be hard to kill, go for easier targets. If he is in his Passive try to hit the parts ones let them get closer together and use your Q to hit all of them at ones, you can also use Smite, don't Q if there are alot of minions around cuz it'll delay your time u got to kill him.

Evelynn

It gets harder to deal with after she gets LvL 6 or fed so try to fight her before that to get her behind. Stick to your Teammates, control wards can be a big help. Getting Qss is also a good option to be able to negate her burst by using your W after cleansing her charm.

Nocturne

If you think you have enough damage, try to burst him before he can fear you without using your Q or use your Q before he starts his fear animation to get the most damage out of the situation. If you think you won't kill him before his fear hits you can use your Q as late as possible as he trys to fear you to reduce the CC duration afterwards. Qss can be a big help otherwise.

Gragas

His Ult is predictable but his Bodyslam can set you in a bad spot if he brings friends. Also if he Builds Ap you gonna have a hard time since you can't really use the damage reduction of your W against his CC. You could bait him by using your W, to then dodge his slam tho.

Rammus

Generally not really hard to beat, that is if it's a 1v1 situation. Once even just 1 more champ is with him, his taunt will be a big problem, untill you get Qss.

Rengar

Can be difficult especially if Fed, use your W when he jumps out of his ult or stick to your Team.

Shaco

Good luck! You can get Oracle at LvL 1 in this Matchup. Try to destroy his Boxes if he places them before you (try to use your doublestrike or smite if possible). You can also try to run away from him after he Ults in order to know which one is the real thing. You need some experience about his Movements and Playstyles, can be tricky to beat a good Shaco player but usually his clone takes alot more and noticeable damage, keep that in mind.

Warwick

Avoid him or get Qss. Try to Dodge his E or R with your Q and stick to your team.

Udyr

Who's faster? Hard to Catch and hard to escape from, he can kite you very easy with his stun and high movespeed. His early is also stronger, wait for enough items befor trying to 1v1 but it's also just better to only face him in teamfights.

Master Yi

If you play against another Yi player you should try to Q him before he does in order to have an advantage. If the other Yi player Q's first you should W his Q. Stopwatch and Guardians Angel can help you win a fight. Use Stopwatch as soon as he Q's you.

Fiddlesticks

Ones you are 6 don't Ult till he has used his fear otherwise you will run very far away and your Ult might run out. Ones you have Qss he is a Childsplay.

Hecarim

If not Fed you beat him. Dodge his E or R with your Q.

Graves

His Smoke Screen is annoying and he has alot of damage but since he has no CC, you can dodge alot of his spells or negate his damage with your W.

Jarvan IV

If he misses the knockup you should win, also you can Dodge his Ult Dmg or Escape out of it, by Q'ing nearby minions or Champions. You have to Q after his dash animation starts, in order to not get hit by his knockup.

Sejuani

Annoying CC which buys her enough time for backup. Try to Dodge her ult with your Q.

Kayn

Press W if he uses his Ult on you to safe your Ult and E Duration. Blue Kayn's Damage can be Meditated however if he is very ahead it could be hard to react you can also dodge his spells with your Q. Red Kayn can be harder to deal with the later the Game gets, try to avoid his knockup or fight him after he has used his ult.

Viego

Dodge his stun or follow his R with your Q, he can deal alot of damage but you scale better so later on you should be good. Also try to stop him from getting takedowns otherwise he will heal alot.

Skarner

Avoid him before having some items and get Qss in the worst Case.

Vi

Dodge her Q with your high mobility, try to Burst her and Q before she hits her Ult. Care for backup she can set you up very easy.

Volibear

You should avoid 1v1's since he can be hard to kill and has decent damage but later on you destroy him.

Xin Zhao

He has a Strong early so try fighting him with backup or with a few more items.

Lee Sin

Besides the fact that he keeps Kicking you around he can be easy to beat. You can dodge his 2nd Q with yours and you out scale him.

Amumu

You can dodge his Q and Ult.

Bel'Veth

Has alot of dashes which can be annoying but you should be able to keep up with her. She also needs to stay close if she plans on fighting you in where you should win since her only CC ability is very avoidable and DPS wise you win anyways since you're Yi.

Trundle

Has a Strong early but there is nothing needed to dodge in his Kit which means ones you get some Items you destroy him.

Briar

Nunu & Willump

You can dodge his Ult or reduce it's damage with your W. If he tries to run away you can cancel his big snowball by using your Q on him.

Shyvana

Can be strong and tanky but has no CC to stop you. But keep in mind that she can run at or away from you with her ms boost.

Diana

You beat her in most situations if she's not fed and has no hourglas. You can meditate her burst or simply dodge her ult with your Q.

Lillia

Can kite you in the worst case but is nothing threatening.

Nidalee

Avoid her Spears. If you don't get Kited you beat her pretty easy. If she gets ahead or finishes hourglas you have to be more careful.

Kindred

Safe your Q if she has her Ult and use it after its over. You should win most of the time in any situation.

Ivern

Very easy to beat all game long but be careful of his counter jungle. Dodge his Q or Ult knockup with your Q, you can still use ur W in his Q.

Karthus

He can't slow you in your R, you can dodge his Ult with your Q, on top of that he has no mobility, is squishy and has no hard CC, you can also negate all of the damage from his abilities with your W so he is one of the easiest matchups for yi.

Kennen

Outtrades you, is hard to catch and has unavoidable CC. Play safe, farm, wait for ganks and avoid him as much as possible.

Pantheon

Outtrades you unless you can dodge his point in click stun with your Q, which can be difficult. When he has his passive stacked try to W or Q his next attack. He still wins most 1v1 situations duo to his kit so play it safe and wait till you outscale him with at least 2 finished items.

Renekton

You can use Q into W to bait out his stun while also reducing the damage from it or you can stand near minions/place a ward into him while you are using your Q on him to make him attack the ward/minion instead of you. Nonetheless you should always be careful with your positioning as he can always have the advantage in most trades while also being hard to catch duo to his kit, especially after level 6 where he also gets alot tankier and deals more damage. How i like to trade into matchups like this is by stacking my passive on minions using my doublestrike on the enemy potentially even a W auto attack reset and then disengage onto minions to keep my distance and him from hitting me back, optimally your Q bounce can hit him in that situation for a little more damage. If you notice him having either no ult, stun or dash up, that can be a good moment to engage him if you also have enough damage and HP available.

Jax

Dodge his E with your Q, to get a better feeling for that you should walk away from him after he uses it to see if he cancels his E earlier or not if you have issues with dodging it you can use your W to at least reduce the damage you would take. Use your W when he tries to jump on you and hold it or cancel it after he has used his empowered autoattack depending on if you wanna fight him back or stall time for your team.

Camille

At the moment you cant do much in this matchup because she deals too much true damage while having a short cooldown on it. You outscale her but she also scales pretty crazy so it'll be hard to fight her. You best do avoid this champion for the moment. The reason i dont put her higher is because she is not really hard to beat mechanic wise, its just that she's simply over powered since years and riot refuses to nerf her correctly.

Riven

In the early game she is squishy and has higher cooldowns which means if she misses or wastes her abilities to farm you have a chance. After level 6 she gains access to more range and burst while also being able to kite you or escape from you, what makes this a difficult matchup. What it really comes down to in this matchup tho is the player, so show the bunny whos boss.

Kled

He can trade with you very easy and you can't really trade back, reduce damage or avoid his abilities in a meaningful way. His 2nd life mechanic makes it hard to win early on so try to play safe and wait till you have 1 or 2 items.

Aatrox

If you can't avoid it in another way you should try to dodge his 3rd Q with yours or reduce the damage from it with a W tap since it would deal the most damage out of his kit. Everything else should be avoided with your movement. You should be fine the more items you get.

Volibear

Play safe till you have 1 or 2 items then run him down. I think you can avoid his stun with your Q but it can be hard to do so, other than that you should avoid or reduce the damage of what ever else he has with your movement or W.

Fiora

She can kite and outtrade you very well duo to her kit so you rather wanna play it safe early on. You can sometimes bait her W by using your Q on minions near her but that does not always work depending on the player and their experience. After level 6 you should hold onto your Q to the very moment she parrys out of getting low on HP because if you use your Q first she can parry all of the damage and if you are not using your R she can also slow you and your AS, which would be the worst case scenario. If she ults you try to not let her get all 4 vitals by standing close to a wall. You still should be aiming to get some items before you take any risks since from that point on if shes not ahead you should win most of the time.

Sett

Wait for your items and you'll be fine. You can dodge alot of his stuff but just play it safe for the early game since he outtrades you very hard. How i like to trade into matchups like this is by stacking my passive on minions using my doublestrike on the enemy potentially even a W auto attack reset and then disengage onto minions to keep my distance and him from hitting me back, optimally your Q bounce can also hit him in that situation for a little more damage. Try to avoid being around ally minions when fighting him since with those he can combo you in a way you can't avoid his damage. If he pulls you without stunning you that'll allow you at any given moment to dodge his true damage fist slam with your Q.

Wukong

Early on he can win trades duo to his kit but you can also negate alot of damage with your W. After he gets LvL 6 it can be very hard to trade or kill him since he'll have 2 knockups which will get a squishy champion like you very low. You can also get Oracle's Lens against him.

Darius

A good Darius will start with his W you will more likly have to gamble if you wanna go for early kills if thats the case. However if he starts with his Q you can avoid the damage and healing by simply Q'ing yourself. He can beat you at anytime after that unless he misses his abilities or cancels his autoattacks. How i like to trade into matchups like this is by stacking my passive on minions using my doublestrike on the enemy potentially even a W auto attack reset and then disengage onto minions to keep my distance and him from hitting me back, optimally your Q bounce can also hit him in that situation for a little more damage. After level 6 try to focus on either predicting his grab or dodging his Q, keep in mind that if you don't have enough damage to kill him or get him very low before he gets 5 stacks on you he'll have access to his true damage burst R ability that you can't reduce the damage from.

Urgot

Laning phase is very annoying and he can be hard to deal with since he outtrades you but his dash CC ability is reactable and after some items you should win pretty easily if he's not ahead.

Tryndamere

You can win lvl 1-2 but it can depends on luck since he has his crit RNG thing. He has no mana so he can outsustain you pretty easily in lane which makes it pointless to trade only for poke so either play aggresive or farm only. After level 6 Tryn can be very hard to deal with so try to avoid fighting if you're behind. What i like to do if he does not have ignite is maxing my W and playing under my tower while also building tank items like frozen heart and randuins.

Quinn

This was a very difficult matchup in the past but not anymore! Thanks to the buff Yi got to his Q where he now can reappear at the location he wants to, this allows you to appear behind Quinn after Q'ing her and by trying to stay behind her aslong as possible she won't be able to kite you very well. That saied you might need to run hail of blades and build lethality or crit items to get the most out of this matchup since onhit won't be enough burst to trade and shut her down properly. So Q her stay behind her while attacking her and if she does her jump attack you press and hold W, if you dont have W learned yet just back off after you can't get any more damage out on her. If you get a kill like this it's pretty much do and repeat and she won't ever be able to do anything against it, BUT if she ever gets ahead this won't work anymore since she will out-DPS you regardless of this strategy.

Gnar

Ranged matchups are never easy or fun to play against but also not impossible to beat. Avoid getting poked from him by playing a little safer and staying behind minions. You can win at the early Levels but he'll have his range advantage and also he'll have alot of fast CC spells in his big form so keep that in mind. Avoid fighting if you can't get a lead and try to all in him in his small form. If you Q him in his small form always reappear in front of him, otherwise he can use his jump on you to escape, slow you and trade back very heavily.

Jayce

Similar to Quinn you want to run hail of blades with crit or lethality and you want to engage him and reappear behind him while attacking him from behind till he knocks you back, if he does this without getting back to his position you can just walk up to him again if he keeps the knockback till he's closer to his turret than you again you just W what ever he tries after that and you try to get back to your minion wave.

Teemo

Rather annoying to lane but after some items you should win. You can use your W if you fail to dodge his blinding with your Q. Try to run burst builds since the longer you need to kill him the harder it'll get. You can engage him with Q after that try to get as many auto attacks out until he uses his blind, in this moment you want to W aslong as you are blinded and either walk back towards your tower or keep engaging on him. The moment you buy QSS it's pretty much gameover for him unless he builds hourglas.

Ambessa

Shen

This is a farming lane, he has more range and better trade potential than you. His laning phase is stronger since he can avoid you from damaging him for a few sec's but after some items you should be fine regardless.

Poppy

She has good poke so try to not let her harass you for no reason, also try to avoid walls to not get stunned. After some items you beat her pretty easy.

Gangplank

You can win Level 1-2 but if he plays very safe he can trade with you without you being able to do alot against it. If that ever happens you can get another point in your W to sustain better in lane. But you can also try to avoid some of his poke with your Q but keep in mind that that will push the wave while having you run out of mana very quick so what you want trying to do instead is tapping your W when ever he tries to harass you. Try to avoid his barrels with your Q or W aswell or attack them if you think you can do that in time. Keep in mind that your doublestrike will only count as 1 hit on his barrels.

Heimerdinger

Just farm don't fight get more points in W to sustain in lane if he pokes you under your turret. It's winable but not worth the effort and risk since he can just wait for your Q, stun you in place and let his turrets kill you while keeping his distance.

Ornn

Rather annoying to lane but after some items you win easy. Dodge his R with your Q after level 6 and avoid his knockups with either your positioning or your Q. Dodge other stuff with your movement.

Singed

Rather annoying to lane, you can get kills on him early on but he can also kite you very easily so rather just focus on farming.

Yorick

You want to avoid getting hit by his soul minion thing if he misses it you can trade with him. You can reduce the damage of his shovel with your W and after some items you pretty much just kill him.

K'Sante

Pretty even but you beat him after some items.

Garen

Similar to Mundo only difference is that he can trade better. If you wanna be safe just farm and fight him after some items, that saied this champion can be very annoying to deal with it might be better to avoid wasting your time on him unless you are sure that you can kill him.

Cho'Gath

You win Level 1 after that it can be hard till you have items. You beat a Tank Cho very easy after some items however an AP Cho can be very difficult depending on the player. If he times his abilities correct you won't be able to take trades with him because of his silence and damage. Try to dodge his knockup safe your Q for that it's very reactable.

Olaf

Avoid his axes and watch out for his early game later on you out-DPS him.

Malphite

When ever he tries to poke you with his Q just tap W to negate his damage. After 6 he won't be able to slow your AS anymore as long as you are using your R which makes things alot easier than for most other auto attack based champs. Keep an eye on your HP pool tho, if you start to get low you should not risk fights since his ult can be hard to react to at close range. After some items you should have no problems.

Rumble

He has no CC but can deal alot of damage, so after some items you beat him pretty much always. Keep in mind that he can buy hourglas which counters Yi.

Mordekaiser

You win Level 1-2, dodge his abilities with you movement or with your Q or negate his Q damage with a W tap, his abilities are very reactable for Yi. You can also dodge his R but it's one of the more on luck based moments also it most likely won't change the outcome of your situation anyways so just try to dodge his Q or grab depending on his and your HP and after some items you should be good. Keep in mind that he can buy hourglas which counters Yi.

Illaoi

Avoid her grabs that's the most important thing in this matchup, when ever she hits it unless you have 3 or 4 items you're going to lose. If she misses or if you dodge it you simply run her down after some item.

Gwen

Dodge her Q with yours or try to avoid it with your movement. She has no hard CC but alot of damage if she hits her spells correctly so try to aim for finishing your items asap in order to out-DPS her. She can buy hourglas, which counter Yi keep that in mind.

Nasus

He gets stronger the longer the game goes on so try to play aggresive and deny him as much as you can without risking to die. After 6 he won't be able to slow you anymore if you are using your R which gives you a huge advantage. Negate his Q damage with your W.

Irelia

You can dodge her stun pretty easy with your Q or even her Ult the only time you should be worried is if she has her passive fully stacked. However she has a higher attack range so keep that in mind when trading and avoid fighting her in alot of minions because she can kite you with her dashes. After some items you out-DPS her.

Kayle

Pre 6 it's pretty easy you can just jump on her and run her down but keep in mind that she gets alot of movementspeed boosts with which she can kite your E duration. After 6 you should safe your Q and engage with flash till she ults, as she ults hold your W and wait for her ult to run out that's when you Q her and try to finish her off. She can out-DPS you in the late game duo to her range advantage so try to sneak up on her thru bushes to start the fight in your favor from up close.

Sion

If he charges his Q you can Q behind him to dodge his ability without worries. If you ever won't be able to do that you can also hold W to negate the damage. If he ever tries to run away with his ult you can Q in front of him to stop him. Watch out for his passive.

Maokai

He has some annoying CC which denies you from damaging him properly, i like to hold onto my Q and just auto attack him as that's the best way to DPS him.

Dr. Mundo

He has no hard CC which means after level 6 and your first item there should be no point in the game you'd ever lose to him if he isn't fed. Bring ignite against his ult or build anti heal to counter it.

Annie

Point in click CC which forces you to buy QSS. You cannot dodge her Q to get rid of her stun passive for what ever reason. And her ult stun combo is very hard to avoid.

Lissandra

She can harass you very well in lane, can set you up very easy for ganks, has a point in click hard CC ult and forces you to buy Qss after level 6.

Malzahar

He can harass you very well in lane and forces you to buy Qss after level 6. His ult is point in click and gives him and his team enough time to kill you.

Anivia

Can be very hard to deal with since her passive can revive her which gives her enough time for backup and can leave you at a point where your DPS runs low. She has a stun which she can use when ever you try to engage her to keep her distance while also blocking you with terrain which can be very annoying. However she has no mobility so once she misses her Stun you can go for fights.

Azir

Hard matchup cuz he can trade with you from a distance and deny you from farming. After level 6 you wanna try to dodge his ult which can be a little hard tho.

Zoe

If she misses her sleep you can go for trades/all ins, once you're close up it can depend on luck to avoid it. After 6 dont forget that you can end up at in a bad position if you Q after her ult at the wrong time.

Ahri

She can poke from a distance and has a very annoying CC ability which you need to try to avoid. After she gets level 6 she will have 3 dashes which makes it very difficult to keep up or shut her down so try to to fight when her ult is on CD.

Akali

Outtrades you and can kite you with her movespeed bonus. She can get invisible which counters Yi since you can not do anything but heal up in that time which you can do since reacting to reduce her ult damage with it instead can be hard. After level 6 she has to much mobility to keep up with her while also having more burst than you so try to fight if she either has low hp or CD's.

Ekko

Laning phase is fine but after level 6 he has a 2nd life which makes it hard for you to kill him before your ult runs out. Try to dodge his stun field with your Q after he walked into it.

Orianna

She can harass you very well in lane but her ult is very reactable to dodge.

Vex

You can't really do much other than wait for her to use her passive on the minion waves before trying any trades/fights which is totally up to her to decide by keeping her passive to zone you from farming all the time. She can cancel your W so keep your distance when recovering from poke.

Syndra

She can harass you very well in lane but has no mobility and you can dodge her ult with your Q or meditate the burst.

Aurelion Sol

Has better wave clear and more range so you can't do much unless he wastes his abilities. His ult will knock you back once you try to Q him to get closer or he will just use his Q to stun you and win some distance again.

LeBlanc

Has high mobility and a annoying passive but you can negate alot of her burst with your W, reduce her chain ability CC with your Q or follow her dashes and you can use ignite against her passive.

Viktor

Can harass you very well in lane but has no mobility. If he uses his trap don't Q him right away instead walk into it auto him once or twice cuz his trap has a delay before it activates which you can reset and abuse with your Q.

Cassiopeia

She can harass you very well in lane but is very mana hungry her ult can be dodged by your Q but she can block your Q with her miasma.

Fizz

You can dodge his ult with your Q. Try to force him to use his untargetability before you use yours (unless he hit his ult already).

Galio

After 1 or 2 items you win every 1v1.

Neeko

Skill matchup, you can dodge her ult with your Q, try to avoid her abilities with your movement.

Qiyana

Before her level 6 it's easy after her level 6 get Qss or wait for her to waste her ult. You can try to use W when she goes invisible and spam your Q into her field if you have the feeling that she will ult as soon as she gets visible again to avoid her ult.

Ryze

He has point in click stuff so try to all in him once you have enough items/damage.

Sylas

You can dodge alot of his abilities and you should always win after 1 or 2 items. Try to be consistent and dont let him heal so either go for all ins or leave him be.

Taliyah

Dodge her knockback with your Q.

Talon

Meditate once he uses his ult try to follow his e over walls with your Q.

Twisted Fate

Dodge his yellow card, he has no mobility but can escape with his R since you have no CC to stop him.

Veigar

You can dodge alot of his abilities even his ult, if he uses his stun cage and you try to Q him from inside keep in mind that he can walk back into the cage to stun you. You can also negate his burst with your W.

Akshan

Has a strong early and can disengage so you should not all in him unless he used his spells before. Play safe for the early game and look for fights after level 6. Try to follow his escape or dodge his ult with your Q. You can also avoid his ult by standing behind a turret or behind creeps.

Ziggs

Skill matchup dodge his abilities with your movement and try to safe your Q to follow his knockback ability.

Zed

You can dodge his R with your Q on other targets but it's prefer able to dodge his Q's afterwards instead since the main damage comes from those. You can also try to predict his dashes which are his only ways to escape from you. You might aswell negate some burst with your W since he has no CC to cancel it.

Hwei

His fear is the only thing that can stop you from killing him so if he ever misses it or you avoid it you should always win. Dodge his abilities with your movement.

Yone

Dodge his Q dash which can knock you up and avoid his ult with your high mobility or if he missed his Q before dodge it with your Q. You win pretty easy after a few items.

Vladimir

If he stacks his massive lifesteal Q don't give him the free heal/poke and walk back till it runs out instead. After you have enough damage just run him down. You can negate some damage with your W. This matchup needs a bit experience for it to become easy.

Aurora

Has an annoying laning phase duo to her poke but she can also turn invisible which counters yi. After some items you should be fine regardless.

Naafiri

Get items and run him down.

Corki

Has no CC only a little escape dash after that you just destroy him.

Katarina

Avoid her daggers or use your W to negate some burst, use your Q when she ults to avoid some damage or also use it to follow her E dash.

Yasuo

This can be very easy or very hard depending on the enemy players skill level but once you have some items you should most of the time win pretty easy. Try to avoid his knockup and fight him when there are no minions around for him to dash.

Vel'Koz

Dodge his knock up with your Q it's very reactable after that just destroy him.

Xerath

Has no mobility only a small cc spell which can be dodged either by your Q or your high movementspeed.

Lux

You can dodge all of her abilities or negate their damage with your W. She has no mobility to escape you.

Diana

Dodge her ult with your Q after a few items you run her down if shes not fed.

Kassadin

Has no mobility pre 6 and you deal more damage than him. Only time it can get harder against him is after he gets level 16 with hourglas.
