How to play it

Respect his R
During Highlander your W slow doesn't affect him and he can't be kited: never fight him in it.
Farm carefully
Stack safely early but respect his autos: his damage can overwhelm and surprise you even in the earlier stages.
Tabis, don't fight
Post-6 the only answer is rushing Tabis and avoiding him: you will never win those duels.
Never try to duel Master Yi: you have no CC for him and lose every fight.
