Playing against Yone
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
1
When Yone uses E, you can see his anchor body — place CC on it to stun him when he returns.
2
His E has a timer: he MUST return after a few seconds. Don't panic, he goes back to his body.
3
Punish him in early game (pre-2 items): Yone is weak before his crit items.
4
CC prevents his Q3 and R — save a CC to interrupt him when he engages.
