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.
