Guide to Countering Master Yi as Blitzcrank

Tips for Playing as Blitzcrank against Master Yi

Using Blitzcrank's grab to pull an enemy into your tower range followed by a Power Fist will allow the tower to get several hits on them.

The 1-2-3 combo of Rocket Grab, Power Fist, and Static Field can devastate an individual opponent.

Advice to Win Against Master Yi

If Master Yi tries to farm with Alpha Strike, hit him a few times so he has to use mana with Meditate to heal.

Although Master Yi cannot be slowed while using Highlander, other disables can stop him in his tracks.

Meditate is an effective method of healing damage over time, but Master Yi is susceptible to coordinated team ganks early in the game.
