How to win lane as Yone against Zac · 50.06% win rate over 1,694 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yone | Level 1 favors you: your ranged Q out-trades his low early damage. |
| Level 2 | Yone | Level 2 stays yours as you dodge his telegraphed Q and E to punish. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is even skill - a landed E-into-Q can chunk you if you misstep. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yone | Levels 4-5 swing back to you as your trade pattern out-damages his. |
| Level 6 | Yone | Level 6 stays yours: his R is a teamfight tool, not a 1v1 lane threat. |
| First item | Yone | At first item you burst his healing blobs and keep out-dueling him. |
| Two+ items | Yone | With 2+ items you outscale a tank that has no real carry damage. |
You win the early lane. Zac's Q pull and E slingshot are slow and easy to read, and his early damage is low, so your ranged Q and mobility let you poke and trade at will. Deny his passive-blob pickups by fighting near your minions and stepping on the blobs when you can.
