| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yone | Yone out-trades you at level 1 with Q resets and crit passive while you have no escape. |
| Level 2 | Yone | At level 2 his Q knock-up and E mobility let him pick the trade and you cannot answer. |
| Level 3 | Yone | Level 3 he can chain Q3 plus E all-in and burst you before enough W stuns land. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yone | Through levels 4-5 his dash-in damage still beats your small Cage and short W range. |
| Level 6 | Veigar | At 6 your R plus E cage flips it, turning his telegraphed R-dash into a free execute for you. |
| First item | Veigar | One item in your E-W-R combo chunks and deletes him while he has no range answer. |
| Two+ items | Veigar | Two-plus items you point-and-click one-shot Yone through his second E cast. |
Levels 1-2 belong to Yone. He out-trades you with Q auto-resets and his passive crit, and you have no dash to escape a Q3 knock-up, so give ground, hold W defensively, and just farm safely without walking up to poke.
