How to win lane as Yone against Ryze · 53.36% win rate over 2,444 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yone | Immobile short-range Ryze loses the level-1 poke to your Q and mobility. |
| Level 2 | Yone | At level 2 your Q3 knockup all-in beats his single-target kit. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is even-leaning while his W root and Q burst come online. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yone | At 4-5 you dodge his W and out-trade his short-range poke. |
| Level 6 | Yone | Level 6 favors you since Realm Warp adds nothing in a duel. |
| First item | Yone | At first item your E dodges his burst and you gap-close to kill. |
| Two+ items | Yone | At two items your DPS and R re-engage run down an escapeless Ryze. |
You have the edge from the start: Ryze is immobile, short-range and relies on landing Rune Prison (W) to do anything, so dodge the root and your Mortal Steel (Q) pokes plus Q3 knockup win every exchange. Bully him off cs at levels 1-2 while punishing his mana-hungry early game.
