Read from Yorick's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Master Yi.
This is Yorick's own plan; across 239 pooled games the lane is Master Yi-favoured.
| 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: Alpha Strike is 20s but his autos cut it down. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay skill-decided while your sustain matches his ramp. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 Highlander makes him immune to your slow - Maiden keeps it even. |
| First item | Master Yi | First item and Wuju Style true damage burst past the swarm. |
| 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, stack graves, and punish Meditate: it is a 10s channel that any CC cancels.
