Yone Bot Laning Plan

On average Yone Bot is 57 gold behind the lane opponent at 15 minutes and ahead in only 48% of games. A 1,000-gold lead at 15 turns into a 74% win rate; a 1,000-gold deficit leaves 32%. Yone averages 0.29 solo kills by 15 minutes.

Yone Mid and Late Game
What Yone does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.
Play to these strengths
- Yone is a main damage source (93/100): stay alive and in range for the whole fight rather than diving first.
- Yone farms well (percentile 87): keep catching side waves between fights.
- Side-lane pressure pays: Yone rates 85/100 for damage to buildings. Push a side wave while the team holds mid.
- Play around dragons, Grubs and Baron — Yone rates 71/100 for objective control.
- Yone wins 4.3 points more in short games than long ones: group, take objectives and end before the enemy scales.
Mistakes to avoid
- Vision is a weak spot (17/100): buy Control Wards and sweep before you face-check.
