Tips Against Yone in Mid Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

Makilov says “Like his brother, [[Yone]] will dash at you a lot. [[Mortal Steel]] also will knock you up, which is detrimental to your survival as an assassin. [[Spirit Cleave]] will give him shields, and combined with [[Soul Unbound]], gives him free dives on you. Farm the early game and get help from your teammates. If you play safe, you'll come back in the mid and late game. Try your best to [[the call of the pack]] his knock-ups, but save it the most for his [[Fate Sealed]]. It's telegraphed when it is used, so it's not hard to dodge if your ability isn't on cooldown.”

uramakyo says “Similar to Yasuo. His R engage gets punished heavily by your W grounding + R stun combo. Very favorable if you can respect his E dash windows.”

star zall says “Very hard matchup. I recommend the Veigar VS Mobile/ETC Build.”
V222 says “Some Yones default to taking second wind instead of boneplating even in very high elo so make sure to click on him lv1. If he has no boneplating you can wait for him to Q the wave and start E to trade vs him. If he has boneplating you should start Q and try to poke it off while focussing on CS and letting the wave come into you. Lv2 you can start trading vs him as his W cd is a lot longer than your EQ combo CD. Most Yones can't even react in time to W your passive. Make sure to keep the wave on your side and don't trade with him whenever he has his Q3 and E up unless you are in a short lane and can proc your W shield. A good Yone will dodge your combo with his E and run you down after. Trading heavily and basing on components is very good vs yone as your dring darkseal spike is much better than him getting 1-2 daggers. This is generally the best part of the matchup for you 1v1 and you should abuse this window as much as possible. If the wave is on your side you can trade with HOB and without W since he wont be able to E to run you down, then use your W for the next trade to have more kill pressure. Whenever he has his Q3 you want to space it at his max range. Bad Yone's will use their Q3 and you should punish it by immediatly comboing him, but most good Yone's just hold it to buy themselves time and space in the lane so they can start stacking their Q again. You can predict his Q3 directiion with your W and buffer through his Q3 with a well timed E2 if he ever hits you with it. Whenever you jump onto yone you can try to press S to bait his Q's before jumping onto him as most yone's will Q the air and get baited. After first base yone will try to keep you in lane and beat you in small trades and with better sustain. Unless there is nothing to do on the map or you have a very significant lead to keep snowballing your 1v1 it is generally not worth it to permanently trade vs him and focus to beat him with your better skirmishing and waveclear. Yone is extremely useless in skirmishes even after lv6. This is especially the case if he gets to his vamp scepter. A useful interaction vs Yone is that you can put your Q in the path of his E return. If you time it well it is even possible to connect both parts. When yone flies back to his E you can also buffer your autos (and your E2!!!) and attack him while he is snapping back if you are in his E path. You can also often time your R as he is snapping back. Putting a W on where his body returns towards the end of its duration is very usefu lif you don't need the shield. If he has Q3 up after he snaps back to his E you can also put it a bit deeper. When he is clearing waves in sidelane or in lane and you see he has his Q3 up you should time your W in a way where he get's stuck in the Q3 animation part as your W comes out of vision as this makes it way easier to hit. Most yones Q3 through your whole wave. Whenever he tries to escape with is R you should try to body block it as long as you are healthy enough so he cannot dash away. After botrk he will usually win 1v1 against you even if you have a lead due to his insane sustain but he is still relatively weak in 2v2s and 3v3s and especially teamfights compared to you until he gets to his Shieldbow. You should try to get a very significant lead vs Yone early as he scales extremely well. It's possible to follow Yone R with your E2 and it's also possible to follow a bit of his E but you won't be able to completely follow to where he snaps back.”
Young Ryze says “You win this matchup by keeping distance from his Qs and by playing aggressive and taking advantage early because you win pre 6. After 6 Yone has a bit more options to fight you.”

Soul0fghost says “Depends a lot on the Yone. Charm when he Q3's and R's. Don't waste charm or he will run you down. Play around ganks and drags. PLAY AROUND BONE PLATING”

V222 says “Ur stronger than him first 2lvls, force a trade lvl1 with ur passive, try to kill him before he gets bork, if u dont get a lead he just outscales u after first item. U can windwall his Q3 if its long range Q3 ”

Tips Against Yone in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

claubertonious says “matchup is really easy, your q outranges his so if you space well then you have complete control over the lane, just be careful not to use your E poorly or he can run you down after he does scale a bit.”

TheMild1 says “Hard matchup for Sion. Very difficult to land your Q on him as he has so many dashes. Once he gets BORK this matchup becomes way harder. Look to out preform him in a team-fight.”

DemicleasTTV says “Q MAX Horrendous matchup IMO, bramble "helps" but generally he will always beat you. Titanic rush could help havent tried it yet. AVOID HIS Q2 as he can then ult you. You can outscale if you full counter build but then you probably have to commit to sidelaning as Yone will want to teamfight.”

Saneryus says “Yone match up is all about spacing and kiting his E. You can do this, you'll be fine. Also try and predict his Q's. The hard part comes when he has BORK and can statcheck you with just his E. You have to treat this match up like irelia. When you don't have R, you'll lose. If you do, you can win but only when wave is on your side or you have passive stacked up. Swifty's Rush so you can kite away from his E easily. - DShield - Standard PTA | AS / MS / HP scaling - TP/Flash or TP/Exhaust - Can go tabis early if you think you'll get camped/dove”
PokeRoyal2007 says “You beat him easily, he´s really squishy. No big deal.”
Meta Irelia Top Guide by PokeRoyal2007 | Irelia Player
ObiW says “A favored matchup. Respect his Q spam and Lethal Tempo at Levels 1-2. Once you hit Level 3, you dominate short trades. Pro Mechanic: If you get hit by his Ultimate (Fate Sealed), cast your E (Aegis Assault) backwards. Yone blinks behind you after his Ult connects, so facing backwards blocks his follow-up damage completely. Serpent's Fang is highly recommended to cut through his W shields and Immortal Shieldbow.”
PoEs_tk says “be carefully level 1 if he go exhaust , try to short trade to bait his E and once he is chunked enough go for all in especially after 6”

Claude Rains says “You can win vs him pre lv 3 pretty easy (make sure if he takes LT to not all in / take to much dmg early on, you win level 2/3 thought if you poke him to 80% ish. After that you definitly need mobility to not get all in'd. Tabi rush dorans blade start sheen and prolly 1600g zhonya item will help you a lot, delays your progression if you screw up and you may end up stuck if you dont win it with a lot of armor and not enough dmg to kill others, so be carefull here!”
Nidalee Top by Claude Rains | Nidalee Player
TENSION019 says “Grasp, Doran Shield, Flash and Ghost. Even though Yone is an average matchup, I put him in the major threat category because if he gets ahead, he snowballs hard. Do not use your ult on him while his E is active because he can snap back out of it. Instead, throw your W right as he is about to return. When he casts his ult he becomes unstoppable, but if you time it correctly you can interrupt his ult.”
