An early-game mirror you start ahead — stun-spear the first five levels, block the brawl, and leave before the scaling argues.
Track: Yone's E — Soul Unbound (22–10s cooldown). His burst window — survive it and punish the body he snaps back to.
Read from Pantheon's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yone.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | Level 1 Pantheon's Q and base damage beat Yone before he has stacks or crit. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | Level 2-3 the W stun all-in interrupts Yone's Q3 and wins the early trades. |
| Level 3 | Pantheon | By level 4 Pantheon keeps Yone low and denies the farm his kit needs. |
| Levels 4-5 | Pantheon | Level 5 Pantheon still holds priority before Yone's crit-item spike. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Pantheon retains the edge just before Yone's items come online, controlling the wave. |
| First item | Yone | With two crit items Yone's Q3 knock-up and reset trades out-damage Pantheon's flat scaling. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late, Pantheon's W-stun lock on Yone mid-ult and E block of his burst reclaim the teamfight advantage. |
Pantheon dominates the early laning phase: his Q outranges Yone's early poke and his W stun interrupts Yone's Q3 knock-up and E recall trades. Yone is weak before he has crit items and Q stacks, so Pantheon should trade aggressively at levels 2-3 and shove him off the wave. Deny his farm and he struggles to reach the items his kit depends on.
