Yone vs Irelia

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Yone is a scaling melee skirmisher with low early lane pressure and relies on E + Q combos to trade safely.
Focus on avoiding Irelia's all-in windows by respecting her Q reset paths and E stun threat.

Trading pattern

Stack Q then use E and second Q to gap close and knock up, snapping back with E to avoid retaliation.
Punish Irelia when she misses E or Q resets by committing to short trades.
Avoid trading when Irelia has passive stacks and minion waves for Q resets, as she can extend fights effectively then.

Danger windows

Irelia is most dangerous when she has low-health minions for Q resets and E or R marks on you.
Avoid extended trades when Irelia E or Irelia R is available.
Be cautious if you use E from a bad position, as Irelia can punish your predictable location.

Early game

Play cautiously early as Irelia has high early agency and can punish misuse of E.
Use E + Q to trade when Irelia's E is on cooldown or she lacks passive stacks for resets.
Avoid extended fights without your Q knockup ready to prevent getting stunned by Irelia E.

Power spikes

Yone's level 3 unlocks his full Q-W-E trade combo and W shield, enabling safer trades.
Yone's first back for attack speed and items like Bork increase his dueling potential.
Respect Irelia's level 2 with Q and E access and level 6 R for stronger all-in threat and mobility.

Win conditions

Win by using E + Q combos to trade safely and exit before Irelia can retaliate.
Deny Irelia minion wave setups that enable her Q resets to reduce her all-in threat.
Scale through the lane by avoiding fights when Irelia's key cooldowns are up and capitalize on her missed E or Q resets.

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