About me

Hi, my name is Taszi and this is my first guide about a champion that I love to play, Yone.
I started the game in 2025 February so I'm kind of a new player, but I acutally put like 2000 hours into the game because it's so addictive and I didn't play anything else since I started League.
It's December when I actually start to finish this guide and I currently have 1.3 million points on Yone, level 120 and #75 Yone EUNE.
And as the title says, it's a low elo guide, I'm in silver.

About the guide

The reason why I decided to make a guide on Mobafire is because I only saw Tempest's guide here which is really outdated compared to the opinions what he has right now, probably because he started to ask money for his advices. So if you find similar things and opinions, he inspired me, it's not a secret.
However I have different thoughts about a few things, we play in different region, different elo and a lot of things work very differently because of these.
So overall the guide is based on the mix of my lower elo EUNE server experiences and his experiences.

Why play Yone?

Yone is currently one of the best scaling champions in the game since almost every item is a powerspike for him. If you wanna learn how to play the game slowly, how to have 200+ cs in almost every game just play Yone and you will get used to it. He is also really fun mechanically there are a lot of things to learn about his kit depending on the matchups and if you play them right it will be so satisfying.

Yone's state / Is Yone hard to play?

A lot of people complain about Yone's kit and think he's strong but in reality these players just can't punish Yone's weak early game correctly or simply just picked a champion who's even weaker.
Players' problem about Yone is that they can't punish him enough before the one item powerspike and after that he just becomes unstoppable, kill you 2-3 times and then solo dive you under tower at max hp.
If you read other mid lane champion's guide almost every creator says that Yone WILL outscale you and there isn't much that you can do about it.
So overall I think after the changes and buffs he's playable, maybe even strong but definitely not op and no-brainer.

Low or high elo guide? What's the difference?

A lot of guide writers forget that most of the players who read their guides are in lower elos, like me as well. And based on my experiences there are runes and builds that work very well in the lower elos but in the higher elos would have been troll.
Let me explain with a straight example: the Electrocute rune page. Yone is based on scaling and this rune is very bad in terms of scaling. However, in the matchups where I recommend it, it's very good because low elo players don't respect it at all and they just let you snowball them and feed you. In higher elos players probably just kite you out, wouldn't trade with you and since you have no scaling in runes at all you're gonna get punished for that mid/late game.
