How to win lane as Ryze against Yone · 50.79% win rate over 2,865 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yone | Yone's level 1 Q poke and mobility let him control the wave while your lone Q whiffs easily. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is even skill spacing around his Q windup and your Rune Prison range. |
| Level 3 | Ryze | Your level 3 Q-E-Q spike out-trades him while his knock-up and E rewind are on cooldown. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yone | Levels 4-5 favour Yone because his E rewind undoes your Rune Prison lockdown trades. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is Yone's: his R knockup all-in beats your slow, non-combat Realm Warp. |
| First item | Yone | First item still leans Yone as his bruiser all-in outpaces your not-yet-stacked Q. |
| Two+ items | Ryze | At 2+ items your stacked Q chain and teamfight Realm Warp overpower his single-target dive. |
Level 1 favours Yone: his Q poke and mobility let him walk up freely while your single Q is easy to sidestep, so respect the pushed lane and last-hit safely. By level 2 it evens out into a skill lane where spacing around his Q windup decides trades.
