She pokes a man with a return ticket — E in, spend everything, snap back before her answer clears customs.
Track: Taliyah's W — Seismic Shove (14–8s cooldown). The shove into Unraveled Earth is her whole setup — sidestep it and the burst whiffs.
Read from Yone's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Taliyah.
This is Yone's own plan; across 2,133 pooled games the lane is leaning Yone.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Threaded Volley (Q) out-ranges you, making level 1 an even poke-spacing fight. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At level 2 her Seismic Shove (W) peel keeps trades a skill coinflip. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 hinges on dodging the shove and never dashing into her mines. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through 4-5 neither snowballs by default; it hinges on her poke vs your dodges. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 your E engage beats her Weaver's Wall (R), which can't save a duel. |
| First item | Yone | First item crit tempo closes the gap and out-DPSes her ranged poke. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Two items in you outscale a poke-and-disengage mage with R pick and W shred. |
Levels 1-5 play as a skill matchup (Skill): Taliyah's Threaded Volley (Q) out-ranges your Mortal Steel and lets her chip your CS, while Seismic Shove (W) throws you out of an all-in or peels a gank. Dodge the shove, respect her worked ground, and never dash through Unraveled Earth (E) — those mines stun. Whoever handles the shove timing and poke spacing better takes the early lane, so farm patiently.
