Yone is a mobile mid-lane assassin who excels at all-in combat. Here's how to effectively counter him:

Strong Counter Picks:

• Annie: Strong burst and point-click CC
• Pantheon: Early game dominance with reliable stun
• Kayle: Outscales and can survive early game with ultimate
• Vex: Anti-mobility kit punishes Yone's dashes
• Irelia: Can match mobility and outrade in melee range

Effective Laning Strategy:

• Punish when his E (Spirit Form) is on cooldown
• Keep distance to avoid his Q3 knock-up
• Harass with ranged attacks when his mobility skills are down
• Don't chase him after he uses E – he'll return to his starting position
• Position away from minions to avoid his Q harass

Teamfight Tactics:

• Spread out to minimize his ultimate impact
• Avoid enclosed spaces where his ultimate is most effective
• Focus him when his E is on cooldown
• Save CC for when he engages
• Don't fight in jungle chokepoints

Key Power Spikes to Watch:

• Level 6: Unlocks ultimate for increased kill pressure
• Two-item spike: 100% crit chance (doubled by passive)
• Late game: Extremely dangerous in teamfights with full build

Remember to build defensive items early if struggling and prioritize CC in your team composition to lock him down during engages.
