Viktor vs Yone

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Viktor is a scaling control mage who must manage his immobility and item progress to survive Yone's all-in attempts.
Maintain medium lane pressure to prevent Yone from freely using E+Q combos for trades.

Trading pattern

Trade short with E and Q shield, keeping W ready to disengage from Yone's E engage or Q knockup.
Punish Yone when he uses E from a bad position by landing E and W for zone control.
Respect Yone's Q knockup stacks and R displacement; avoid committing when these are available.

Danger windows

Viktor is vulnerable when W is down or misplaced, as he lacks mobility to escape Yone's engage.
Yone's E extension and R displacement create lethal all-in windows that must be respected.
Avoid trading or positioning aggressively when Yone's Q knockup or R is available.

Early game

Focus on farming safely with E poke and Q shield to mitigate Yone's early burst.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 as Yone's E+Q combo and knockup are dangerous.
Use W to zone and deter Yone's engage attempts, but place carefully to avoid vulnerability.

Power spikes

Viktor's major spikes are level 6 R and first completed mage item with evolved abilities.
Yone's major spike is level 3 when his E+Q+W combo and shield unlock.
Respect Yone's item spike with attack speed and potential Bork power.

Win conditions

Scale with item upgrades and evolve abilities to control space and teamfights.
Use W zone control and R ultimate to punish Yone's all-in attempts and force him to play cautiously.
Deny Yone calm scaling by punishing his E misuse and maintaining medium lane pressure.

Tip: For Viktor vs Yone, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
