Akshan vs Yone

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Use Akshan's ranged poke and mobility to pressure Yone early and deny him safe scaling in mid.
Focus on punishing Yone's risky (E) engages and leverage roam windows to snowball the game.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts with autos and (Q), then reposition immediately with (E) to dodge (Q) knockup and (E) snapback.
Punish Yone immediately after he uses (E) from a bad position or misses his (Q) knockup.
Avoid extended trades when (R) or third (Q) knockup is available to reduce all-in risk.

Danger windows

Respect (E) availability as his main engage and disengage tool.
Avoid extended trades or risky positioning when Yone's third (Q) knockup and (R) ultimate are up.
Be cautious after using (E) aggressively; missing or being interrupted leaves you vulnerable to Yone's counterattack.

Early game

Abuse level 2 power spike by combining (Q) and (E) or (W) to force short trades before Yone hits level 3.
Avoid overextending with (E) to prevent getting punished if missed or interrupted.
Use (W) camouflage to reposition or roam safely when Yone commits with (E).

Power spikes

Exploit level 2 spike with (Q) plus (E) or (W) for strong early trades and roam potential.
Respect Yone's level 3 unlock of (Q)-(W)-(E) combo and shield; avoid giving him wave or spacing to start trades cleanly.
After Akshan's first completed AD item, increase pressure on waves and trades while tracking Yone's main cooldowns.

Win conditions

Use (E) to punish Yone's overextensions and create roam opportunities to snowball.
Maintain lane pressure to deny Yone free farm and force him into risky trades.
Capitalize on cooldown windows after Yone uses (E) or misses (Q) knockup to secure kills or force summoners.
