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
  사냥꾼의 길

  요네가 두 번째 공격을 할 때마다 마법 피해를 입힙니다. 또한 요네의 치명타 확률이 증가합니다.

• Q
  필멸의 검

  전방으로 검을 내질러 일직선상의 모든 적에게 피해를 입힙니다.적중 시, 몇 초간 폭풍 구름 효과가 1회 중첩됩니다. 2회 중첩되면 전방으로 돌진하며 돌풍을 날려 적을 공중으로 띄워 올립니다.

  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
  영혼 가르기

  전방 원뿔 범위 내 모든 적을 가르며 보호막을 획득합니다. 적중한 챔피언 수만큼 보호막 흡수량이 증가합니다.영혼 가르기의 재사용 대기시간과 시전 시간은 공격 속도에 비례합니다.

• E
  영혼해방

  요네의 영혼이 육신을 떠나 이동 속도가 증가합니다. 지속시간이 끝나면 요네의 영혼은 다시 육신으로 돌아오며 영혼 상태에서 입힌 피해량의 일부를 다시 입힙니다.

  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
  운명봉인

  요네가 강력한 일격을 날리며 경로에 있는 마지막 챔피언 뒤로 순간적으로 이동하고 적중한 모든 적을 자신 쪽으로 끌어당깁니다.

  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.
