Yone vs Ziggs

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Yone is a scaling melee skirmisher who uses E + Q combo to force trades with a planned exit against Ziggs's poke and waveclear.
Avoid giving Ziggs a passive lane by denying his ability to safely poke and control wave state with his long-range artillery.

Trading pattern

Stack Q, use E to gap close and hit the knockup on the third Q cast, then snap back with E to avoid Ziggs's poke retaliation.
Punish Ziggs when his W is on cooldown by engaging quickly before he can disengage or execute turret plates.
Avoid trading when Ziggs's E zones your approach path or when he has enough mana for sustained poke.

Danger windows

Ziggs is most dangerous when W is available to disengage or execute turret plates; avoid engaging during this cooldown.
Respect Ziggs's R for long-range burst especially around level 6 and objective fights.
Yone is vulnerable if E is used poorly or missed Q knockup; avoid committing without cooldowns ready.

Early game

Play around level 3 power spike to start short trades using E + Q + W shield combo when Ziggs's W is down.
Use E to dodge Ziggs Q poke and close the gap quickly, but avoid overextending since Ziggs punishes poor E positioning.
Respect Ziggs's poke range early and avoid extended trades before you unlock your full combo.

Power spikes

Yone's level 3 unlock of Q-W-E combo and first item powerspike increase trading threat significantly.
Ziggs's level 6 R and first completed mage poke item increase his burst and poke threat; respect these spikes to avoid lethal trades.
Yone's R can turn fights instantly if timed well against Ziggs's immobility.

Win conditions

Use E + Q combo to force trades and punish Ziggs when his W is down.
Deny Ziggs safe waveclear and poke by closing distance quickly and avoiding his poke zones.
Reach your scaling power spikes to outduel Ziggs in skirmishes and teamfights with your mobility and crowd control.
