These two jungle titans clash constantly, making matchup mastery a decisive factor in your climb. Surprising upset: Despite Jarvan IV's higher tier rating, Master Yi wins 52.2% of encounters.

How to Beat Master Yi as Jarvan IV (Jungle)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

Except for rare builds, Jarvan IV deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Master Yi has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Master Yi, ranking 33rd (versus 36th for Jarvan IV) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.1 versus 3.4) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Jarvan IV Jungle versus Master Yi Jungle matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Jarvan IV player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Master Yi player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

Jarvan IV tips:

  • You can use the Dragon Strike / Demacian Standard combo to get out of your own Cataclysm arenas.
  • Split your basic attacks on different champions at the beginning of fights to maximize damage.
  • Use Demacian Standard as a scouting tool when worried about incoming enemies.

Playing Against Master Yi

  • Meditate is an effective method of healing damage over time, but Master Yi is susceptible to coordinated team ganks early in the game.
  • If Master Yi tries to farm with Alpha Strike, hit him a few times so he has to use mana with Meditate to heal.
  • Although Master Yi cannot be slowed while using Highlander, other disables can stop him in his tracks.
