This is Yone's own plan; across 1,115 pooled games the lane is leaning Yone.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Gwen | Gwen's level-1 Snip Snip! out-ranges and out-trades your Q. |
| Level 2 | Gwen | Level 2 she keeps the poke and Mist-zoning edge over you. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | At 3 your Q chain evens the trades into a skill window. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay skill-based around her Mist-reset timing. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 both ults threaten a kill, so it's a skill fight. |
| First item | Yone | First-item Yone all-ins cleanly when her Mist is on cooldown. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late stays skill-dependent as her Mist offsets your R-flank pressure. |
Gwen controls the first two levels: her Snip Snip (Q) out-ranges and out-damages your early trades, and if you chase into her Hallowed Mist (W) she free-hits you while your targeting suffers, so hold to max range and farm.

Start Doran's Blade + Health Potion and back for Executioner's Calling (≈800g) — cuts her healing. Build Blade of the Ruined King (mixed-damage spike) first, then Infinity Edge, with Mercury's Treads.
