Read from Yone's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Ziggs.
This is Yone's own plan; across 2,024 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | Level 1 favors Ziggs: his long-range Bouncing Bomb out-pokes you before you can close. |
| Level 2 | Yone | Level 2 flips to you as your dash lets you threaten his range. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is even skill - a mistimed gap-close eats his full poke combo. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yone | Levels 4-5 are yours: mobility ignores his poke and you punish a squishy mage. |
| Level 6 | Yone | Level 6 stays yours since his R is waveclear, not an anti-dive tool. |
| First item | Yone | At first item your crit burst deletes him the instant you connect. |
| Two+ items | Yone | With 2+ items you hard-outscale a poke mage in every 1v1. |
Level 1 belongs to Ziggs: his Bouncing Bomb out-ranges you and chips you before you have the tools to close, so eat minimal poke and farm patiently. From level 2 onward you start weaving in with Q and your dash, and the range advantage stops mattering as you threaten to reach him.
