Ryze vs Yone

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Ryze is a scaling mage who must manage safe farming and wave control to reach mid-game map impact.
Avoid giving Yone free all-in windows by controlling spacing and denying his planned (E)+(Q) trades.

Trading pattern

Use (E) and (Q) for short, controlled trades and hold (W) to root Yone when he commits with (E).
Punish Yone when he uses (E) poorly by following up with (W) root and (Q) damage.
Avoid trading without mana to maintain multiple spell rotations and prevent being outranged.

Danger windows

Respect (E) knockup and (Q) third cast knockup as key all-in threats.
Be cautious when (R) is available as it can instantly turn fights with displacement and knockup.
Avoid stepping forward to cast spells without (W) root ready or sufficient mana, as Yone can punish these windows.

Early game

Focus on farming safely and using (E) and (Q) poke without overextending before level 6.
Respect Yone's level 3 combo power spike; avoid committing when his (E) and (Q) are available.
Use controlled wave management to limit Yone's ability to engage with (E) and (Q).

Power spikes

After first mana/AP item, pressure waves and trades more confidently while tracking Yone's cooldowns.
At level 6, use (R) for map plays, picks, or defensive resets rather than forcing blind fights.
Respect Yone's level 3 unlock of (Q)-(W)-(E) combo and his first attack-speed item spike to avoid losing trades.

Win conditions

Scale safely by farming and controlling waves to enable sustained spell rotations and map pressure.
Use (W) root to punish Yone's committed engages and follow up with (Q) and (E) damage.
Convert wave control into side-lane pressure and coordinated map plays using (R) to create numbers advantage.
