Yone vs Yasuo

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Yone is a scaling melee carry who must use (E) + (Q) combo to force trades with a planned exit and deny Yasuo a calm scaling lane.
Yasuo has medium early agency and lane pressure, so Yone should avoid giving him free all-in windows and focus on snowballing through extended trades.

Trading pattern

Stack (Q) to set up knockup, then use (E) and second (Q) to gap close and snap back to avoid Yasuo's retaliation.
Punish Yasuo when his (W) is down by engaging trades that rely on projectile damage.
Avoid using (E) from bad positions since Yasuo can punish you when your exit is predictable.

Danger windows

Yasuo is dangerous when his second (Q) tornado knockup is available; avoid extended trades during this cooldown.
Respect (R) availability, as a well-timed ultimate can turn fights instantly.
You are vulnerable after using (E) since Yasuo can predict your position; avoid committing without escape options.

Early game

Avoid early trades before level 3 when you lack the full (Q)-(W)-(E) combo to trade safely.
Use level 3 unlock to engage with (E) + (Q) + (W) shield combo to trade effectively while planning a snapback.
Keep wave control to deny Yasuo easy access to minions for his (E) mobility.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks (Q)-(W)-(E) trade combo, enabling safer trades and shield usage; use this to pressure Yasuo.
Your first attack speed item significantly improves damage and trade reliability; increase aggression after purchase.
Respect Yasuo's level 2 power spike when he gains (Q) and (E) mobility; avoid trades without cooldown advantage.

Win conditions

Use (E) + (Q) combo to force trades and exit safely, denying Yasuo the space to scale comfortably.
Pressure Yasuo after your first attack speed item to control the wave and force unfavorable trades.
Track (R) cooldown and only commit to all-ins when it is unavailable or after it has been used.
