How to beat Yone

Common role: Mid / Top

A hybrid-damage skirmisher who dashes in with his spirit and knocks up with Q3.

What makes Yone dangerous

Yone builds up his Q into a knock-up dash (Q3), can enter and retreat with his ultimate and his spirit form (E), and mixes physical and magic damage so single-resistance itemization doesn't fully stop him. He scales hard into the mid and late game.

How to play against Yone

• 1Respect his Q3 (the third Q that dashes and knocks up) — when his Q is stacked, don't stand in a straight line in front of him.
• 2His E (Soul Unbound) returns him to where he cast it and only deals a portion of the damage taken there. Chase him past the return point or CC him before E ends to punish it.
• 3Trade when his Q is not stacked and his E is on cooldown — that's when he has no escape and no knock-up.
• 4His ultimate is a wide dash-through knock-up; sidestep to the flank so he can't line it up on your whole team.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Weak and immobile while his Q isn't stacked and E is down.
• ✓Squishy early — no defensive stats until items.
• ✓E has a hard punish window if you follow up.
• ✓Relies on landing Q3/ult to engage; dodge them and he's stuck.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Yone's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Voie du chasseur

  Une attaque de Yone sur deux inflige des dégâts magiques. De plus, ses chances de coup critique sont augmentées.

• Q
  Acier mortel

  Yone donne un coup d'estoc devant lui, blessant tous les ennemis sur une ligne.À l'impact, cela lui octroie un effet Tempête menaçante pendant quelques secondes. À 2 effets cumulés, Acier mortel permet à Yone de se ruer vers l'avant dans une rafale de vent qui projette les ennemis dans les airs.

  Strong: builds to a dash-and-knock-up on the third cast. Weak: telegraphed when stacked — don't stand in a line in front of him with Q charged.

• W
  Fendoir spirituel

  Yone frappe devant lui en blessant tous les ennemis dans une zone conique. Yone obtient un bouclier dont les PV augmentent avec le nombre de champions touchés.Les délais de récupération et d'incantation de Fendoir spirituel sont réduits par la vitesse d'attaque.

• E
  Libération spirituelle

  L'esprit de Yone quitte son corps et gagne en vitesse de déplacement. Quand cette compétence prend fin, Yone est renvoyé de force dans son corps et une partie des dégâts qu'il a infligés sous forme d'esprit est répétée.

  Strong: enters spirit form to reposition, returning to the cast point. Weak: only a fraction of damage taken follows him back — burst him past the return point or CC him before E ends.

• R
  Destin scellé

  Yone se téléporte derrière le dernier champion sur une ligne en donnant un coup si puissant qu'il attire vers lui tous les ennemis touchés.

  Strong: a wide dash-through knock-up that catches groups. Weak: a fixed line — sidestep to the flank so he can't line up your whole team.

Itemization

Because Yone is hybrid, mixed defenses beat him: pair armor and magic resist rather than stacking one. Attack-speed slows (Randuin's, Frozen Heart) blunt his on-hit crit side; a Zhonya's baits out his all-in.
