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
  狩人之道

  永恩每第二次攻击造成魔法伤害。此外，他的暴击几率提升。

• Q
  错玉切

  向前出剑，呈直线造成伤害。在命中时，错玉切会获得一层旋风烈斩效果，持续数秒。在2层时，错玉切会使永恩向前冲刺并带着一阵能够击飞敌人的旋风。

  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
  凛神斩

  向前顺劈，对锥形范围内的所有敌人造成伤害。为永恩提供一个护盾，护盾生命值会基于被顺劈到的敌方英雄的数量而得到提升。凛神斩的冷却时间和施放时间可通过攻击速度来缩短。

• E
  破障之锋

  永恩的灵体离开他的身体，并获得移动速度。当这个技能结束时，永恩的灵体会被强制返回他的身体，并且他会再次造成伤害，伤害值相当于一部分他在灵体形态中造成的伤害。

  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
  封尘绝念斩

  永恩沿直线进行斩击，闪烁至最后一名敌方英雄身后，并将命中的所有敌人拉向他。

  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.
