physical damage sits on both sides of this lane, which simplifies what Master Yi and Sett build against each other. Level-one bases: Master Yi 640 HP / 33 armour / 32 MR, Sett 670 / 33 / 28. Scaling matters as well: Master Yi ends on 2425 HP, Sett on 2608. Master Yi also hits harder before items — 65 AD to 60. That 355-versus-340 difference matters most when either leaves the lane.
This is a melee mirror in terms of reach — 175 versus 125 — so spacing matters less than ability timing.
The exchange usually opens with Wuju Style (E) or Knuckle Down (Q). Ultimates decide the rest — Highlander versus The Show Stopper. One spends Mana and the other Grit, which changes how long each can keep poking.
Sample size counts as much as the number — 209 games for Sett here.
