Mordekaiser vs Yone

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Mordekaiser aims to control the lane through sustained trades and isolation, denying Yone safe scaling opportunities.
Manage the wave to create slow, extended melee fights where (E) pull and isolated (Q) hit are most effective.

Trading pattern

Threaten (E) to pull Yone into your zone, then hit isolated (Q) and maintain passive damage to win extended trades.
Punish Yone if he misuses (E) for engage or escape by forcing longer trades where your passive and (W) shield outvalue his burst.
Avoid trading if (E) misses or Yone can kite out of your passive range; wait for better engage windows.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Yone has (E) available, as he can gap close and knock you up, threatening all-ins.
Respect (Q) third cast knockup and (R) displacement as they can disrupt your trades or initiate fights.
Avoid committing to fights if (E) pull is on cooldown or your (W) shield has no stored value, as your durability is reduced.

Early game

Use early wave control to keep Yone within (E) pull range and avoid giving him space to safely use (E) for trades.
Prioritize landing (E) to set up isolated (Q) damage before Yone hits level 6 and gains full combo threat.
Avoid extended poke before your passive activates to prevent losing early health unnecessarily.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to isolate Yone and force a duel he cannot easily escape; do not use (R) blindly.
After your first AP bruiser item, force longer trades to leverage improved sustain and damage.
Respect Yone's level 3 combo unlock and first attack speed item timings by playing cautiously and avoiding bad trades during these spikes.

Win conditions

Use wave and (E) pull pressure to force extended trades where your passive and (W) sustain dominate.
At level 6, isolate Yone with (R) when you have health or item advantage to secure kills or force summoners.
Control side lane duels and objective fights by denying Yone safe scaling and using your frontline threat in teamfights.
