Keep an eye on allies and be ready to save them with your teleport.

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.

How to Counter Master Yi with Shen in LoL

For instance, Shen’s KDA ratio ([kills + assists] / deaths) of NaN is more than Master Yi’s KDA ratio of NaN, showing that Shen may be more central to his team's team fighting effectiveness than Master Yi. This observation is largely caused by the differences in assists.

Shen often has a slightly smaller longest kill spree than his enemy does. Typically, he receives a similar amount of damage to Master Yi. This is usually reflective of different amounts of tankyness, yet it can also show that the champion with higher HP has less agility and thus is unable to escape additional harm when poked or engaged.
