Yone is a scaling melee skirmisher who must use (E) + (Q) combos to force trades with a planned exit against Renekton's early lane pressure.
Avoid giving Renekton free early wave control and fury stacks by contesting his tempo without overextending, as he controls early lane pressure and wants to snowball fast.
Trading pattern
Stack (Q) twice, use (E) to gap close and follow with the second (Q) for knockup, then snap back with (E) to avoid retaliation.
Punish Renekton after he uses both (E) dashes forward or when his fury is low to avoid his empowered (W) stun burst.
Avoid trading when Renekton has high fury and (W) ready; wait for cooldowns to safely engage with your (E) + (Q) combo.
Danger windows
Respect Renekton's empowered (W) stun and (E) double dash when his fury is high; avoid extended trades during this window.
Be cautious when Renekton reaches level 6 with (R) active, as he gains durability and sustained damage for all-ins.
Avoid overcommitting if you have used (E) poorly, as Renekton can punish your predictable position after snapback.
Early game
Focus on farming safely until level 3 when your full (Q)-(W)-(E) combo unlocks for more reliable trades.
Avoid extended fights before level 3 since Renekton's early burst and stun with fury stacks are strong.
Use wave control to deny Renekton easy fury stacking and prevent him from engaging empowered trades.
Power spikes
At level 3, use your unlocked (Q)-(W)-(E) combo to trade aggressively when Renekton's fury or (E) dashes are down.
After your first attack speed item, increase pressure on waves and trades, forcing Renekton to respect your improved damage.
Respect Renekton's level 3 power spike with full combo and level 6 (R) ultimate which boosts his health and damage for all-ins.
Win conditions
Use your (E) + (Q) combo to force trades with a planned exit, denying Renekton easy fury stacking and early kills.
Pressure waves confidently after your first attack speed item to force Renekton into defensive play and open side-lane pressure.
Leverage your scaling by surviving early bursts, then use (R) in teamfights or skirmishes to turn fights and snowball your lead.
