Laning Against Yone: Essential Counter Guide

Best Counters:

• Riven
• Cassiopeia
• Kennen
• Warwick
• Irelia

Effective Counter Strategies:

Lane Phase Tips:

• Punish Yone after he returns from his E ability
• Maintain safe distance to avoid his gap closers
• Use ranged champions to harass from a distance
• Don't chase when he uses E - he always returns to his original position
• Focus on farming and short trades during his E cooldown

Teamfight Tactics:

• Keep team spread out to minimize his Ultimate (R) impact
• Avoid enclosed spaces like jungle corridors
• Don't fight near Baron/Dragon pit unless necessary
• Skip extended chases - Yone excels at juking with E

Power Spike Awareness:

• Level 6: Ultimate adds significant kill pressure
• 100% Critical Strike: Major damage increase (due to passive double crit)
• Team Fight Phase: Most dangerous with multi-target Ultimate

Additional Counter Picks:

• Urgot
• Singed
• Jax
• Fiora
• Sett
• Shen
• Darius
• Wukong
• Gangplank
• Gwen

Note: Success against Yone depends heavily on respecting his power spikes and exploiting his ability cooldowns, especially his E return point.
