How to win lane as Yone against Vladimir · 47.46% win rate over 3,647 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yone | Level 1 favors Yone — Vladimir is one of the weakest early laners and Yone freely bullies him. |
| Level 2 | Yone | Level 2 stays Yone's — W shield and Q poke punish Vlad before his sustain is meaningful. |
| Level 3 | Yone | Level 3 favors Yone — E all-in threat that low-sustain early Vlad can't safely answer. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yone | Levels 4-5 are Yone's — continued poke keeps Vlad below his healing spike and behind on farm. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 5-mid is Skill — Vlad's two-item spell-vamp spike and pool timing even the matchup, so the outcome hinges on Grievous Wounds and pool baiting. |
| First item | Yone | Post-spike favors Yone again — crit shred and Grievous Wounds let him out-damage Vlad's healing. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Late game is Yone's — R re-engage and E safety let him burst Vlad between pool cooldowns in fights. |
Vladimir is very weak in the first few levels — no mana bar but low sustain and pushed around easily. Yone should abuse this window hard: Q-poke, W-trade, and deny Vlad's early CS so he can't reach his healing spike on schedule. This is the phase where the lead has to be built.
