Guide to Countering Master Yi as Vladimir

Tips for Playing as Vladimir against Master Yi

Transfusion instantly deals damage to the enemy before healing Vladimir, making it one of the best last hitting tools in the game.

Cast Hemoplague where it will afflict the most units.

Sanguine Pool pops incoming missiles, so it can be used to dodge disables.

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.
