How to Play This Matchup
Survive to Scale
Vi will try to bully you early. Give up CS if needed  your job is to not die. Master Yi outscales hard after 2 items. Play for farm, not fights.
Armor Rush
Both champions deal physical damage. Whoever builds armor first (Plated Steelcaps, Bramble Vest) gets a huge advantage in trades.
Sustained vs Burst
Vi wants to combo and disengage. Master Yi wins extended trades. Don't let Vi get a clean rotation  force long fights where sustain wins.
Exploit Vi's Weakness
Vi's main weakness: Kiting, R is committal, squishy if behind. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
Master Yi Win Condition
Scale, Q resets in teamfights, R makes untargetable
Vi Win Condition
R point-and-click lockdown, gank with Q, burst squishies
