Favour timeline — the windows in Yasuo's game plan

Read from Yasuo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yone.

Stage	Favoured	Why
Level 1	Even / skill	Level 1 is near-mirror Q poke, but only you carry Wind Wall — no edge yet.
Level 2	Even / skill	Level 2 stays even; both simply add a second point and keep trading Q for Q.
Level 3	Even / skill	At 3 both gain their E dash, keeping the skirmish a spacing contest.
Levels 4-5	Even / skill	Levels 4-5 remain skill-decided as Q3 knock-ups and Wind Wall cancel out.
Level 6	Even / skill	Level 6 ults mirror each other, so the lane still hinges on execution not kit.
First item	Even / skill	First item spikes land together, leaving the crit trade dead-even.
Two+ items	Yone	Late, Yone's E return-dash gives him a safety reset your kit lacks, edging the scaling.

How to beat Yone as Yasuo: the early game

Near-mirror at levels 1-2 — the same Q rhythm, but Wind Wall is yours alone and his Spirit Cleave shields off the wave. It comes down to last-hitting cleanly and not eating a free Q. Don't spend the wall on one cast; save it for a committed all-in.
