Master Yi vs K’Sante Counter Pick

K’Sante carries a difficulty rating of 9, and 134 games is not a large sample. Both belong in any reading of the 57.5% that Master Yi records here on patch 16.13.1.

Mechanically the pairing works out for Yi because armor is the wrong defense against him. Wuju Style converts basic attacks into true damage, cutting straight through the 124.4 armor K’Sante reaches at level eighteen and through the 2,665 health that makes him the sturdier body on paper. Ntofo Strikes and Path Maker both want a target that holds still; Alpha Strike removes Yi from the map for its duration and repositions him, while Highlander’s slow immunity ignores the slow attached to Ntofo Strikes.

All Out is the swing. It launches Yi back through terrain, and while it is active K’Sante gains damage and a shorter cooldown on Footwork, so a fight beginning inside that ultimate looks nothing like one beginning outside it. Meditate is the counter: reduced damage taken and health restored while the window burns down.

K’Sante deals mixed damage, so no single resistance covers him, while Yi’s physical and true damage cuts one line through both of his defensive statistics. Yi’s 355 move speed against 330 decides who accepts the duel, and 4 difficulty against 9 decides how often each pilot performs their side of it correctly.
