Aatrox vs Yone

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use high lane pressure to deny Yone calm scaling and force him into risky trades.
Control spacing to repeatedly land (Q) sweet spots and sustain through extended fights.
This is a snowball matchup where Aatrox must leverage lane bully identity to prevent Yone from safely scaling.

Trading pattern

Fish for the first (Q) to land a sweet spot, then use (E) to reposition and follow up with (W) to trap Yone.
Punish Yone when he uses (E) aggressively by cutting off his retreat and landing multiple (Q) hits.
Avoid extended trades if you miss (Q) casts or (E) repositioning, as Yone can disengage cleanly.

Danger windows

Beware of (E) knockup and snapback combo as it extends his trades and can set up his (Q) knockup.
Avoid fighting when your (Q) and (E) are on cooldown, as your threat and escape options are limited.
Respect (R) timing, which can instantly turn fights with displacement and knockup effects.

Early game

Push and maintain wave near your side to bait Yone into walking into (Q) range.
Avoid short trades after missing your first (Q) or (W) to prevent giving Yone easy disengage windows.
Prepare to use (R) at level 6 for extended trades and chase potential.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks healing amplification and resets; use it to convert trades into kills or force recalls.
First fighter item spike increases your damage and durability; pressure the wave and threaten longer trades.
Respect Yone's level 3 unlock of (Q)-(W)-(E) combo and his first attack speed item spike by avoiding unfavorable trades.

Win conditions

Deny Yone safe scaling by controlling wave state and forcing him into extended fights where your sustain and (R) resets excel.
Use (W) to trap Yone when he commits with (E), then chain multiple (Q) sweet spots to win trades.
Apply side-lane pressure after first item and level 6 to snowball your lead and force team advantages.
