Ryze vs Yone

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Ryze is a scaling mage with medium lane pressure who must manage mana carefully to safely farm against Yone's melee skirmisher style.
Focus on controlling the wave to deny Yone easy all-in windows and avoid letting him freely use E + Q combo trades.

Trading pattern

Use E and Q for controlled poke and hold W to root Yone when he commits to extend trades safely.
Punish Yone when his E is down or used poorly by stepping forward with spell rotations.
Avoid trading when low on mana or when Yone's Yone Q knockup and Yone R displacement are available to prevent burst all-ins.

Danger windows

Yone is dangerous when his E is active, enabling gap closes and knockups; avoid fighting during this window.
Respect Yone's Yone Q third cast knockup and Yone R displacement as they can quickly turn trades.
Be cautious when low on mana or W is on cooldown, as Ryze loses his main crowd control and follow-up damage.

Early game

Prioritize safe farming and avoid extended trades before first item power spike, as Yone's E + Q combo can punish poor positioning.
Use W to root Yone when he commits with E to punish his engage attempts.
Avoid pushing without vision since Yone's mobility and planned exit trades can lead to dangerous counterplays.

Power spikes

Ryze's first mana/AP item significantly increases sustained damage and trading threat.
Level 6 R enables map plays but does not increase direct lane burst.
Respect Yone's level 3 power spike when his Q-W-E combo and W shield unlock his main trade pattern.

Win conditions

Scale safely by farming and using spell rotations to chip Yone down when his key cooldowns are down.
Use wave control to deny Yone easy all-in windows and punish his E misuse.
Leverage R to create side pressure and assist teammates once lane priority is established.
