Who Wins

  • You win most trades pre-6 through Q poke and energy advantage, maintaining pressure until your R spike gives you kill potential.
  • Post-6 becomes more complex as Yone's R can interrupt your R combo, making it a skill matchup dependent on timing and positioning.

How to Trade

  • You want to poke with Q when Yone goes for CS, then look for W-E-Q combos when he's low enough for all-in potential.
  • Save your W shadow for escaping his E engage or for gap closing when he's overextended, not for waveclear.

Wave Control

  • You should maintain wave control through superior early trading to create roam timers and deny Yone farm.
  • Push for level advantages when possible, but avoid hard shoving without vision as Yone's E makes him surprisingly good at setting up ganks.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • You must avoid using W aggressively when Yone has E available, as he can easily follow your shadow and force extended trades.
  • Never R into Yone when he has R available unless you can guarantee the kill, as his R displacement will ruin your combo.
