How to win lane as Yorick against Master Yi · 44.77% win rate over 239 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yorick | Ghouls and Last Rites healing out-trade his bare level-1 kit. |
| Level 2 | Yorick | At 2 Mist Walkers and the cage bully his single Alpha Strike. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 evens as his resets let him hop between your ghouls. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay skill-decided while your sustain matches his ramp. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 the Maiden makes it a wash until he spikes - a skill window. |
| First item | Master Yi | First item he bursts past the ghouls and out-duels you. |
| Two+ items | Yorick | By 2+ items your Maiden and ghoul army out-DPS him in sustained fights. |
Levels 1-2 you bully him outright: Mist Walkers chew on him while Q Last Rites heals back his answers, and the W cage turns his single pre-reset Alpha Strike into a trap - zone him off CS and stack graves, because his kit needs levels and items before it can talk back to yours.
