Tryndamere vs Master Yi Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
64.7% across 167 games on patch 16.13.1 is a wide margin, and the two ultimates explain it. Highlander raises move speed and attack speed and grants slow immunity, an offensive tool with no defensive component; Undying Rage makes death impossible for its duration. The duel resolves as soon as Master Yi runs out of health bar to chew through.
- Base stats: 696 health against 640 and 66 attack damage against 65, with 175 attack range, 33 armor and 32 magic resist identical on both sides.
- Wuju Style adds true damage to basic attacks, so 114.6 armor at level 18 is only a partial answer.
- Meditate restores health and reduces damage taken, but it is a channel, and Mocking Shout with a Spinning Slash reposition breaks it.
Alpha Strike gives Master Yi brief untargetability and a way out, and his 355 move speed is ten higher, so a losing fight can still end without a kill. The pattern behind the winrate is plain: Fury banked through attacks on the wave, health allowed to drop so the Bloodlust bonus rises, and Spinning Slash spent once Meditate has been used. A difficulty rating of 4 against 5 keeps the execution demand modest for both, and by level 18 the durability gap is 2,532 health and 114.6 armor against 2,425 and 109.5. Grievous Wounds is the only purchase that meaningfully slows the healing on either side.
