Master Yi vs Viego

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Master Yi's faster clear speed to outpace Viego and deny him jungle control early.
Avoid early river fights unless your lanes have priority and vision to support counter-ganks.
Focus on scaling through efficient farming and only fight after enemy CC is committed.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize full clears toward safe reset timings to maintain item tempo and scaling.
Contest Scuttle only when nearby lanes can move first and provide support.
Invade Viego's camps immediately after he commits to a path with long cooldowns to deny farm and tempo.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights when Viego has (R) available and lane priority to counter-gank.
Be cautious contesting objectives without vision as Viego can force smite fights with resets.
Avoid low-health clears vulnerable to Viego's burst and reset chains.

Early game

Start with a full clear and secure the first Scuttle Crab to establish river vision before Viego arrives.
Avoid direct early invades unless you have lane priority or vision advantage to punish Viego's pathing.
Use your clear speed to hit level 3-4 before Viego and look for counter-invade opportunities around his camps.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to chase and reset on low-health targets after enemy CC is used.
After first item completion, increase objective control and punish messy skirmishes.
Respect Viego's level 6 (R) and reset potential; avoid fights when his ultimate is ready.

Win conditions

Use superior clear speed and camp tempo to deny Viego farm and scaling.
Secure early dragons and Rift Heralds with lane priority and vision control.
Coordinate with lanes to create picks and snowball into teamfights where your resets shine.
