Renekton vs Yone

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Renekton is the lane bully here and should use early pressure to deny Yone a calm scaling lane.
Control the wave and force short trades with high fury before Yone can reliably use his (E) engage and (Q) knockup combo.
This is a snowball vs scale matchup; Renekton must snowball early to prevent Yone from reaching his mid-game power spikes.

Trading pattern

Trade aggressively with fury-stacked (E) dash in, empowered (W) stun, (Q) heal, then dash out with second (E) to avoid retaliation.
Punish Yone when he uses (E) to engage by trading after he commits, as he becomes vulnerable when his snapback ends.
Avoid trading when fury is low or after using both (E) casts forward, as you lose burst and escape options making you punishable.

Danger windows

Respect (E) knockup and stun window; avoid extended trades when he has (E) ready to engage or disengage.
Be cautious when your fury is low and your second (E) dash is unavailable, as you become vulnerable to Yone's burst.
After using both (E) casts forward, play safe to avoid being caught by Yone's counter-engage or (R) all-in.

Early game

Use level 1 and 2 to stack fury and apply early wave pressure to limit Yone's ability to farm safely.
At level 3, leverage your full combo with (Q), (W), and (E) to punish Yone before he unlocks his full trade pattern.
Avoid extended fights if your second (E) dash is down to prevent being punished by Yone's counter-engage.

Power spikes

At level 3, use your full combo to trade decisively and force Yone on the back foot before his (E)+(Q) combo is reliable.
At level 6, activate (R) to add health and damage for all-in dives or skirmishes when Yone is already chipped.
Respect Yone's first item power spike, as his attack speed and damage improve, making neutral trades riskier without cooldown advantage.

Win conditions

Snowball early by controlling the wave and forcing short trades with high fury to deny Yone safe scaling.
Use (R) to convert short-trade leads into decisive all-ins or tower dives once Yone is chipped or out of position.
Maintain lane priority to crash waves and take plates before Yone reaches his item and power spikes, limiting his mid-game impact.
