Master Yi vs Tryndamere Counter Pick

36.1% over 169 games on patch 16.13.1 describes a structural problem rather than a difficult matchup, and Undying Rage is most of it. Tryndamere cannot die for its duration, which removes the reward at the end of every trade Master Yi wins on damage.

Fury supplies the rest. Battle Fury builds critical strike chance from attacks, critical strikes and kills, Bloodlust converts that resource into health while raising his attack damage as he drops lower, and Mocking Shout reduces the attack damage of surrounding champions — a direct tax on someone whose output comes from basic attacks. Wuju Style’s true damage ignores resistances but not an opponent who simply refuses to die.

The stat lines are near-mirrors. Both hold 175 attack range and 33 base armor. Tryndamere starts with 696 health to 640 and 66 attack damage to 65, ending at 2,532 health and 114.6 armor against 2,425 and 109.5. Yi is quicker at 355 move speed to 345.

Meditate is the only genuine lever, restoring health and reducing incoming damage while Undying Rage expires, and it demands standing still against a champion holding Spinning Slash. Fury also means Tryndamere spends nothing to cast, so a trade costs him only the health Bloodlust hands back. Difficulty sits at 5 for Tryndamere and 4 for Yi.
