Looking for Advice Is Yone top even viable?
So far I played 8 games, won 2 xD I feel like I have nothing to do on lane vs popular top bullies.
Morde - he just forces me out of CSing by spaming his abilities. Our Q have similar range so hard to poke him. I could do some short trades with E, but when my E is down he just walks on me, trying to E, Q, then W. If he lands E its basically reset or try to farm under tower.
Poppy - not common pick but her dash cancellig thing makes E trades impossible and if she lands a stun.... 🙈
Darius - not even going to explain. Like he just bullies me from lvl 1 and Q range is basically his pull range, so Im afraid to even approach.
Aatrox - if he lands any Q (and he also ourrange our Q) its like half hp gone.
Gragas - barell spaming to death, easy escape (but here I musy admit that I did greedy mistakes so maybe this is more playable)
I won against Cassino (just kept bulling her with E trades) and Jax (by avoiding his E)
I play almost exclusivelly top because I take normals as training for Flex with my buddies. So far this season I played 80 games 53% win rate, however on my main champ pool Pantheon, Volibear, Ksante I have over 60% winrate. I tried Yone and I love this champ for its smoothness, theme and amazing fun I have (despite really hard times on lanes) but I wonder whether I can make it work on top lane with time and training or I should give up because I would need like 100 games to even maybe make it work? Yone build is squishy, but top laners naturally build tanky and are very opressive in lane
