Who Wins
- You lose most 1v1s pre-6 due to lower damage output and mana constraints, though level 2 W-Q combo can win short trades if Yone mispositions.
- Post-6 you still struggle in extended 1v1s since your R is better for picks than dueling, while Yone's R gives him significant kill pressure.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is W engage into Q for the heal, then immediately back off with E to minions or jungle camps.
- Never commit to extended trades since Yone will out-damage you with his Q3 knockup and E return damage.
Wave Control
- Push waves early to roam since you can't match Yone's scaling or 1v1 potential in lane.
- Focus on shoving and looking for picks with your jungler rather than trying to control waves for laning advantage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use W aggressively without vision of enemy jungler or a clear escape plan with E.
- Getting caught in Yone's E spirit form without your escape tools available will result in death due to your low base stats and damage.
