Track: Vladimir's W — Sanguine Pool (28–16s cooldown). Dodges your combo. Bait it.
Read from Yone's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Vladimir.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Vladimir | Vladimir's Transfusion sustain heals through your poke and wins the level-1 trade. |
| Level 2 | Vladimir | At level 2 his Q heal keeps him ahead as your harass fails to stick. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is skill-decided around baiting his Sanguine Pool before you commit. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay even as his Pool dodges your combo and both farm to spikes. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is skill-based — your all-in can out-tempo his Hemoplague if you force it. |
| First item | Yone | At first item your Botrk/crit spike lets you all-in before his AP scaling arrives. |
| Two+ items | Vladimir | By 2+ items Vlad's amp, Pool immunity, and sustain out-scale your single dive. |
Vlad wins levels 1-2 through sustain: Transfusion (Q) heals off every trade, so your Q pokes don't stick and he farms freely. Don't over-commit into his heal — take the CS lead where you can and set up for your item spike rather than trading blows you can't win.

Nobody on paper — a 49.68% win rate over 3,317 games makes this a coin flip decided by play, not champion select.
Yes — Yone vs Vladimir is a genuine skill matchup: 49.68% win rate, and the favour swings window to window rather than being set at champion select.
No hard counter either way — the Yone vs Vladimir win rate is 49.68%, an even lane decided by execution.
Yone takes Lethal Tempo on the Precision tree with Triumph, Legend: Alacrity and Last Stand, and Resolve secondary (Second Wind and Bone Plating) vs Vladimir.
Start Doran's Shield + Health Potion (vs his poke) and back for Executioner's Calling (≈800g) — cuts his healing. Build Blade of the Ruined King (mixed-damage spike) first, then Infinity Edge, with Mercury's Treads.
