Yone vs Diana

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Yone is a scaling melee skirmisher who uses E + Q combo to force trades with a planned exit against Diana's medium early agency and lane pressure.
Focus on denying Diana a passive lane by using your mobility and shield to survive her burst and punish cooldowns.

Trading pattern

Stack Q to set up knockup, then use E and second Q to gap close and snap back with E to avoid Diana's burst.
Respect Diana E cooldown; when it's down, increase aggression as her pressure drops significantly.
Avoid committing when Diana's Diana Q is ready, as it enables her burst combo and resets Diana E.

Danger windows

Diana is most dangerous when Diana Q and Diana E are up, enabling her burst all-in.
Respect Diana R level 6 for potential knockup and displacement in all-ins.
Avoid overextending after using E from a bad position, as Diana can punish your predictable snapback location.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 3 when Diana's Q-W-E combo unlocks her burst potential.
Use E + Q to engage and disengage quickly, respecting Diana's ability to all-in when Diana E is available.
Punish Diana if she misses Diana Q or uses Diana E without resetting cooldown by stepping forward for short trades.

Power spikes

Yone's level 3 unlocks full Q-W-E trade combo with shield, increasing survivability and trade potential.
First back item spike improves attack speed, enhancing trading efficiency.
Diana's level 3 unlocks her burst Q-W-E with dash reset and shield; level 6 Diana R is a strong all-in threat to respect.

Win conditions

Use E + Q combo to force trades and exit safely, denying Diana the chance to land her burst combo.
Punish Diana when she misses Diana Q or wastes Diana E without reset to gain lane control.
Scale through safe farming and look for R knockup opportunities to turn fights in your favor after level 6.
