Read from Yone's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Kassadin.
This is Yone's own plan; across 1,939 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yone | Level 1 is Yone's — Kassadin can't contest melee and his shield blocks no physical. |
| Level 2 | Yone | Level 2 stays yours as your Q poke ignores his Null Sphere shield. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is skill-decided by whether Kass hugs tower and dodges. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are even as he scrambles to survive to his 6 spike. |
| Level 6 | Yone | At 6 you re-take control by keeping him low before Riftwalk matters. |
| First item | Yone | First-item Yone beats a Kassadin you kept behind early. |
| Two+ items | Yone | At 2+ items a denied Kass still loses to your gap-close and burst. |
Levels 1-2 are firmly yours — Kassadin can't contest melee and his Q shield does nothing against your physical Q poke, so shove and threaten every trade. Level 3 is skill-based only in that a good Kass will hug tower and dodge; punish any greed hard.
