Who Wins
- You struggle in early trades against Yone's W shield and E mobility, losing most short exchanges unless you land Q3 knockup combos.
- Post-6 the matchup becomes heavily Yone-favored since his R bypasses your W and provides execute damage you cannot match.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to stack Q on minions, then look for Q3-auto-E through him when he uses E aggressively.
- Use W to block his Q3 or R damage, and only commit to extended trades when you have minion advantage and he lacks W shield.
Wave Control
- Focus on freezing the wave near your tower to deny his E engage angles and force him to overextend for CS.
- Avoid pushing unless you can crash completely, as Yone excels at punishing you in the middle of the lane with his E mobility.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your W defensively against his basic abilities early, save it for blocking his Q3 knockup or R damage in crucial fights.
- Never fight him post-6 in open areas of the lane where he can easily land R, instead try to position near walls or your tower for escape routes.
