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
  Estilo do Caçador

  Yone causa Dano Mágico a cada segundo Ataque. Além disso, sua Chance de Acerto Crítico é aumentada.

• Q
  Aço Mortal

  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
  Fenda Espiritual

  Ataca à frente, causando dano a todos os inimigos em uma área de cone. Concede um escudo a Yone. O valor do escudo aumenta com base no número de Campeões atingidos pelo golpe.O Tempo de Recarga e o tempo de conjuração de Fenda Espiritual escalam com Velocidade de Ataque.

• E
  Desatar da Alma

  O espírito de Yone deixa seu corpo para trás e recebe Velocidade de Movimento. Quando essa habilidade termina, o espírito de Yone volta ao corpo e ele repete parte do dano causado na forma espiritual.

  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
  Destino Selado

  Yone teleporta-se para trás do último Campeão em uma linha, desferindo um golpe tão poderoso que puxa na direção dele todos os inimigos atingidos.

  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.
