Everything for Master Yi Top on patch 16.17, pulled from real Emerald+ ranked games — the build path, rune pages, the counters worth banning, the strongest teammates, and Master Yi's win conditions.
Master Yi is an AD duelist in the top, and on patch 16.17 they grade out as a situational pick — a 49.3% win rate, 0.5% pick rate, 5,844 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Master Yi is a scaling champion: comparatively weak early, but one of the strongest picks on the map once core items come online — so the plan is to survive the laning phase and take the game over late.
How Master Yi wins: splitpushing a side lane and forcing the enemy to answer it, and winning the wave and turning push priority into map control. The kit grades 10/10 split-push, 7/10 waveclear. Master Yi grades low on engage and siege (3/10, 3/10), so don't take fights that turn on those dimensions.
The most-played core build is Blade of the Ruined King, The Collector, Lord Dominik's Regards, which holds a 52.7% win rate across 279 games this patch. Item order and defensive swaps update against whichever enemy comp you select.
The matchup to respect is Leona, where Master Yi sits at just 42.4%, the lane swings the other way into Jayce (56.0%), and on the team side, Master Yi gains the most from a Shyvana (+6.3% pair win rate).
