StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillOrianna — she out-ranges and out-pokes melee Yone at levels 1-2, winning the early trades with ball harass.
Level 2Even / skillSkill — at 2 his Mortal Steel stacks into a knockup dash while your Q-W chunks him; the trade goes to whoever moves first.
Level 3Even / skillSkill — at 3 your combo meets his Spirit Cleave shield on a 14s cooldown; poke it down before you commit.
Levels 4-5Even / skillSkill — Soul Unbound is 22s at rank 1 falling to 10s, and your window is every second it is down.
Level 6Even / skillSkill — Fate Sealed blinks from 1000 range and your R answers his landing; whoever reacts better wins.
First itemEven / skillSkill — his crit item and your Luden's land together, so the fight turns on his 10s E and your 110s R.
Two+ itemsEven / skillOrianna — as a premier teamfighter she wins the 5v5 outright when she lands Shockwave on Yone's dive and peels for her team.

How to beat Yone as Orianna: the early game

Orianna controls the early lane with superior range and poke — drop the ball on Yone and Q-W to harass him whenever he steps up to farm, since he is melee and takes free damage. Keep the ball between you and him so his Q dashes and Q3 knockup are less rewarding. Respect his level 1-2 passive-stack windows and back off when his weapon glows, but otherwise you should win the CS and health race.
