Vayne vs Yone

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use ranged spacing and (Q) repositioning to keep Yone at bay and avoid his engage windows.
Prioritize lane pressure to deny Yone the calm scaling he needs, leveraging your high early agency and ranged poke.
This is a scale vs scale matchup where you must out-range and out-kite Yone, avoiding his all-in combos.

Trading pattern

Trade by auto-attacking from max range, using (Q) to reposition and avoid (E) engage.
Hold (E) to (E) Yone into walls when he commits to gap closing.
Punish Yone immediately after he uses (E) to return to his original position, as his engage is then on cooldown.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) is available, as he can gap close and knock you up.
Avoid fighting near walls without control, as Yone can punish with knockups and your (E) wall stun is less reliable.
Watch for (R) ultimate, which can turn fights instantly; keep spacing and disengage if he commits it.

Early game

Keep the wave on your side to avoid being vulnerable to (E) engage and ganks.
Use (Q) defensively to maintain distance and reposition when Yone attempts to stack (Q) for his knockup.
Avoid pushing without vision to reduce gank risk and preserve your ability to kite safely.

Power spikes

At level 6, activate (R) to gain stealth on (Q) and outplay Yone's committed engages.
After your two-item spike, pressure side lanes with superior true damage and kite space.
Respect Yone's level 3 power spike when he unlocks his (Q)-(W)-(E) combo and his first item timing that boosts his attack speed and trade reliability.

Win conditions

Deny Yone safe scaling by maintaining ranged pressure and punishing his engage cooldowns.
Use (R) stealth tumbles to outplay his all-ins and create favorable dueling scenarios.
Reach your two-item power spike to dominate side-lane duels and shred Yone with true damage while kiting effectively.
