How to beat LeBlanc as Yone: the early game

LeBlanc bullies the early lane: her Q-W burst chunks you and her W (Distortion) return lets her poke and instantly escape your E gap-close. Play safe, soak XP, and don't chase her W — you can't catch a champ built to skip away. Track Distortion: 15s at rank 1, 10s maxed, and the return expires after 4s — punish the spot she left from.
