Everything for Master Yi Jungle on patch 16.11, pulled from real Emerald+ ranked games — the build path, rune pages, the counters worth banning, the strongest teammates, and Master Yi's win conditions.
Master Yi is an AD duelist in the jungle, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a top-tier pick — a 52.5% win rate, 6.8% pick rate, 79,242 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Master Yi is a scaling champion: comparatively weak early, but one of the strongest picks on the map once core items come online — so the plan is to survive the laning phase and take the game over late.
How Master Yi wins: splitpushing a side lane and forcing the enemy to answer it, and winning the wave and turning push priority into map control. The kit grades 10/10 split-push, 7/10 waveclear. Master Yi's soft spots are engage and siege (3/10, 3/10) — avoid fights that hinge on them.
The most-played core build is Kraken Slayer, Guinsoo's Rageblade, Experimental Hexplate, which holds a 49.9% win rate across 7,214 games this patch. Item order and defensive swaps update against whichever enemy comp you select.
