Who Wins
- You win most trades pre-6 with Q poke into E all-in, especially at level 3 when you have your full basic combo.
- Post-6 becomes more skill-dependent as Yone's R gives him strong engage potential, but you maintain advantage if you land W to interrupt his combos.
How to Trade
- Use Q to poke and stack Bleed, then look for E all-in when Yone uses abilities on minions or mispositions.
- Your W can interrupt his E return, creating windows for extended trades where your sustained damage excels.
Wave Control
- Look to shove and roam frequently, as your waveclear with Q and mobility with E gives you better map presence than Yone.
- Maintain pressure by threatening all-ins when he tries to farm, forcing him into defensive positions.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W defensively against Yone's poke, save it to interrupt his E return or R engage for maximum value.
- Avoid extended trades when behind, as Yone's scaling and sustain from items will eventually outpace your early game advantages.
