How to win lane as Poppy against Yone · 54.74% win rate over 939 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Both of you are weak at level 1 with one ability — deny his Q last-hits and set up the wall-stun lane. |
| Level 2 | Poppy | Q+E online means a single wall-stun off his Q-dash chunks him hard before his E-rewind can answer. |
| Level 3 | Poppy | All tools up: when he Q-dashes to cleave you near a wall, E into it stuns through his spirit-rewind escape. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Your flat damage stops scaling here while his W points add up — lean on Q max-HP chunk, trade even. |
| Level 6 | Poppy | Steadfast Presence (W) grounds his Q-dash and your E-wall stun beats his E-rewind escape — your peak. |
| First item | Poppy | Cheap tank components keep you trading while W dash-deny shuts off his only engage tool — force fights. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Crit Yone Q-dashes through your CC and E-rewinds out of your E — he out-mobiles your point-and-click kit. |
Yone is even at level 1, but your level 2-3 is the punish window. The moment he Q-dashes in to spirit-cleave (W) you near a wall, E him into it for an unconditional stun and follow with Q for max-HP chunk. His E marks his start position and yanks him back — but only if he survives to recast, and a wall-stun freezes him through it. Don't waste W on cooldown; hold it to ground his Q-dash mid-engage.
