How to win lane as K'Sante against Master Yi · 43.93% win rate (214 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from K'Sante's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Master Yi.
This is K'Sante's own plan; across 214 pooled games the lane is Master Yi-favoured.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | K'Sante | Your Ntofo Strikes poke and Path Maker stun dominate his level-1 approach and punish any step-up. |
| Level 2 | K'Sante | At 2 your W stun and durability win any extended trade he tries to force. |
| Level 3 | K'Sante | At 3 your full W-into-slow combo still outranges and out-CCs his Alpha Strike engage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | By 4-5 it hinges on Meditate — cancel the 10s channel with Q or W and he loses the trade. |
| Level 6 | Master Yi | At 6 Highlander makes him slow-immune, so your Q slow and Iceborn simply stop working. |
| First item | Master Yi | First attack-speed item plus Wuju Style's true damage out-duels you before your armour arrives. |
| Two+ items | K'Sante | Two-plus items in, All Out's displacement and your stacked resistances out-scale and out-peel him. |
Start on the front foot: Ntofo Strikes poke and the Path Maker stun punish every approach he makes, and your durability wins any extended trade through level 3. By 4-5 it turns into a skill window — Meditate is a 10s channel and either Q or W cancels it outright, so keep the stun loaded for it.
