How to win lane as Yone against Ryze · 54.88% win rate over 2,717 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yone | Ryze's immobility and pre-Tear mana crunch hand you the level-1 tempo. |
| Level 2 | Yone | At level 2 your Q-weave trades beat his mana-hungry Overload poke. |
| Level 3 | Yone | Level 3 you out-trade an escape-less mage with your step-in pressure. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yone | Through 4-5 he can't answer your all-in once Rune Prison (W) is down. |
| Level 6 | Yone | At 6 your R and E overpower a macro ult that gives him no dueling tool. |
| First item | Yone | First item crit tempo out-DPSes his single-target Overload spam. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Two items in you fully outscale a peel-less mage with R pick and W shred. |
You dominate levels 1-5 (Yone): Ryze is one of the most immobile mids and is mana-constrained before he stacks Tear, so you can walk up behind the wave and chip with Mortal Steel freely. Every Overload (Q) he throws at the wave is mana he can't spend on you, and if he steps up to poke you punish with a Q-weave trade. Keep the wave central and deny him a comfortable farm rhythm.
