How to Beat Master Yi as Jax (Jungle)

The Jax versus Master Yi matchup in the jungle is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

Jax deals mixed damage - the opponent has fewer options for defense. Master Yi has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.

An important advantage of Jax is higher farming statistics (ranked 27th among role champions) (versus 33rd for Master Yi), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.1 versus 2.4) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Jax Jungle versus Master Yi Jungle matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Jax player to maintain constant pressure on Master Yi, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Jax tips:

  • Jax can Leap Strike to friendly units, including wards. You can use them to plan your escape.
  • Jax benefits greatly from items that have both Ability Power and Attack Damage such as Guinsoo's Rageblade and Hextech Gunblade.

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.
