Hey guys, as the title mention I’m in need of help playing yone in mid/top. I’ve been noticing that every time I play a game I tend to struggle very badly with my matchups, even when I also build items to counter them (hence the image I attached). Yet sadly I still feel that I always end up loosing lane or the game. Could any yone players or anybody give me any advice? Or maybe share their builds and game plans?! Would be super helpful! (Maybe even matchups I should avoid in mid or in general)

idk why are ppl not rushing botrk on him
any yone main wanna explain it
but that's prolly just a skill issue if i had to say
u just gotta know the matchups cuz without that ur gonna struggle
Noted!!
I started rushing botrk now
Because of how important it is
But after I either go BT and then Macorís
Ooops
yeah but i wanna ask other yone mains why they dont build botrk
unless its just top 3 that's dumb
or they build it now i didnt even check it tbh
Some people do but some just skip it
They are prioritizing damage and faster auto attacks
But i definitely will be trying to develop my skills cause i tend to struggle a lot
that's gonna come with time and experience its hard to just win or the game would be too easy
Yeah! What is your usual build? And runes?
dont play him anymore
but i was going lt green runes and attack speed rune
botrk and later 2 or 3 crit items like bt ie mortal
maybe dd somewhere
Gotcha! Thank you! Hopefully other yone players share their wisdom
@near hound
Core Build i go would be AS Boots, Bork,BT,IE into 2 defensive items
swap IE to mortal if you need
i almost always go death dance fourth
Lethal tempo into melees/ champions you fight a lot early on, conqeuror into ranged is a good guide for what runes to take
Matchups i find hard would be akali and lissandra for mid lane
maybe jayce and aurora too but laning phase is much more forgiving in wild rift
dont play top yone much, but hardest would probably be darius, renekton etc
Just play Yone mid if youre still struggling
game plan for mid lane depends on matchup, but generally vs mages(which you go against like 80 percent of games), you try to avoid their poke early on, look for E angles to go in and trade.
Once you get boots, you can start playing more aggressive. Punish them if they are overstepping while your spells are up. Keep the wave near to you so they constantly need to risk getting jumped up you. From boots+bork onwards, you already start destroying squishy champions if you arent behind. Always be mindful of their movement spells and CC, dont blindly go in, get CCed and die. This applies throughout the game
Your mid-late game scaling is your strongest point. The most important pointer i can give is to always keep farming. You will genuinely carry so many more games if you constantly side lane when no objs are up, aim for a high gold per minute(850+ is a good start)
when you get your crit items, damage wise youre thanos if you get on them, but you are still very vulnarable to burst, CC. So its just back to the point on keeping track of their spells before you engage
OMG THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH!! @near hound much appreciated

Do you also know for the runes what secondary ones I should use? Or are the green ones okay?
I mean primary and secondary
yeah green primary is fine
you can take precision primary with gathering storm if youre against a very easy matchup
Tysm!!
I mean bt was better before all the nerfs and the 2 item spike going bt navori is disgusting
You are definitely weaker early tho
And you can’t buy navori if you go botrk
So you lose a lot of outplay potential with the extremely short cooldown e and w
Would only go bork if you need it to even progress in the game
And late game you should definitely sell it for another crit item cause of the ad to crit convention as well as IE scaling(if they don’t have a tank which you can’t kill without bork), cause in late game you don’t do enough auto attacks that botrk would outperform another crit item with the huge ad increase, cause you 2 or 3 shot any squishy champ in late game and once you get one pick the game is over.
i mean navori aint even that great imo
I mean it is
12% bonus damage on abilities
You can e into e
Have like 5 w every fight
i mean
one e should be enough most of the times
and w doesnt do that much and makes u lose time for one q so u should only really use it vs bruisers or tanks but idk if spamming it is necessary
and u would do more dmg with ie than with navori tbh but ig it is more expensive
One e is enough per target
But you can kill like 3 every fight and have more pressure cause of the positioning you can do with extra e
will fight really be that long
Having more w’s can’t be bad and like you said it’s really good against bruisers
Most teamfights are around 20 sec
Plus it gives you so much survivability
ye
yeah i love navori on the yone, works super well with E and W
only would rush bork if i need early game strength against ppl that let me AA a lot, so mainly hp tanks
otherwise BT navori all the way
and DD almost always 4th item
yone top is a struggle, i'd rather play him jungle and hope the enemy isnt smart enough to invade/destroy me early
just make sure you're going in with your teammates and paying attention to tempo especially early on when roaming and late when you're teamfighting
and mid game i would split push into lanes that are closest to the next objective
like if baron spawning i'd go to top and farm there
and if you're jg is nice take their camps, just not the buff
and if ur jg is dead you can prolly take some of their camps, otherwise dont steal their camps, steal enemy jg camps
and farm a ton
in laning phase just poke the wave and avoid getting killed then recall for boots, the second recall i like getting two dags and a normal sword if i have extra cash on hand cuz the 2 dags help me reduce my Q to 1.3 seconds, 1.3 is the cap
then later you will build into navori anyways, sell the extra dag if u dont need it for 1.3 anymore
if you are rushing bork even easier, the two dags are what you need anyways and having that 1.3 cd on Q reduces the W use time as well
