How to win lane as Ryze against Yone · 46.52% win rate over 660 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yone | Yone's Steel Tempest poke hits you before W root is available — farm at safe range and do not burn Mana walking into his Q arc. |
| Level 2 | Yone | Soul Unbound bails him out of your W root if you use it on the dive-in rather than the retreat — save it for the rewind window. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Your full E-W-Q Flux cascade can land all three hits before he rewinds, making Level 3 the first trade you can win cleanly. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yone | Yone's Steel Tempest knock-up into extended auto pattern out-damages your pre-item rotation — concede the window and farm. |
| Level 6 | Ryze | Realm Warp creates macro pressure Yone cannot answer; your Level 6 value is on the map, not in this lane. |
| First item | Ryze | Seraph's Embrace makes your Flux loop near-permanent and your short trades punishing — this is the moment you can genuinely threaten him. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Kraken Slayer true damage plus a second crit item lets Yone's R all-in burst you before Arcane Mastery cycling resolves — respect his two-item power spike or die. |
Level 1 is his — Yone's Steel Tempest poke forces you to respect his range and you have only Q with no setup. Farm under the threat and stack Manaflow Band; do not walk up to E range without the wave between you. At Level 2 your W root enters the equation but Yone's Soul Unbound dash can bait it: he dives in, you burn W, and he rewinds to his body safely while your root window is gone. Save W for when Soul Unbound is visibly fading, not when he engages. Level 3 is the first real window — E onto a minion to spread Flux, then W-root when the mark bounces to him, into empowered Q; the wave itself amplifies your burst and he cannot rewind out of a root that lands mid-cascade.
