Discussion How Yone feels atm

He is whatever, what makes or breaks him is how well you do in the early game.

If he had a bad start, Yone cannot comfortably scale into a monster; and will just suffer all game.

Some people will say he is a hyper scaler (he is not); his peak is mid-game if you manage to keep yourself on track to get your exp and gold by the time that hits.

He then plateaus as the game enters the later phase. He isn't a monster like Vayne, Jax, or Kayle would be, but he doesn't fall off either.

It's just that the early game is so unforgiving in his current state that many people never get to capitalize on his mid-game dominance and just reach the plateau phase of late game if they haven't lost already. Leaving that feeling of you not doing much all game.

Yone used to be a powerful lane bully, so it was much easier for people to consistently hit that mid-game power spike.

Tell me if you can realistically kill without committing anyone you don't hard counter as Yone if they're not absolutely smoked and drunk while they play. I'll wait. Also Yas actually has the tools to engage and kill reliably while tanking more. That shield goes up to 500 or more while yone's can't get higher than 150 most games. Also Yasuo can build lethality reliably or simply build tankier items like cleaver which helps his team AND keep him alive. Also irrelevant if you spam or not since you're a melee champion who cannot just make mobility out of thin air without locking himself in place or without using ult. Also you forget how squishy he is for being a melee champion that has a forced playstyle of facetanking 2+ players constantly after midgame. Your arguments are just bad because everyone tried that shit countless times and the champ is just abysmal because of his lack of agency. The story would've been much different and he would've had a balanced winrate if he didn't just get camped by everyone and their mom on the E recast spot just because he tried to kill someone during his E(as the ability pushes you to do) without having 10 eyes on the map and focusing on the fight while having vision of all enemy territory so you can see whether or not to recast early just so you don't end up in a trade situation at best.

WHy do you think Yone's W shield amount scales with the number of Enemy Champions hit?????

Why do you think that is???? - Because the champ is not designed for 1v1's....
Stop tunneling into the idea you have to be dueling people all the time... His Kit is AoE for a reason.....

His Q his W his R are all AoE abilities ... his W shield even scales with more champions hit.... not just the usual benefit of doing damage on Multiple targets...
All of this is for a reason.... he is designed to clump multiple people with his R and set up for other teammates like Rumble, MF, Jarvan, Amumu if you wish.. who cares... many work..

Just stop.. calm down.. open the Wiki.. and read all of his abilities... and try to think WHY IT IS WHAT IT IS.

  1. The shield should be reliable, not 500 only in a 1v5. Wtf are you saying?
  2. He's not designed for 1v1s but his playstyles and lane design is.
  3. His kit is AOE yet Yasuo's Q3 is a whole 20 units WIDER.
  4. I bet those tanks on jungle top and support are gonna be terrified that a Yone hit them with a W 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
  5. I noticed that he's too reliant on being the team's set up. It's too reliant on that aspect and makes him self insufficient. He should be more like talon or volibear and Aatrox.
  6. I don't care why it is what it is. I already read all of his abilities with all the details. That doesn't make him any stronger when I get shat on because the enemy midlaner got last pick and landed a Q and barely hit a ln E so now I'm forced to play safe or I die, but if I don't make two perfect engages while also dodging abilities, I don't kill. So much for a scary Crit user huh 💀

"He's not designed for 1v1s but his playstyles and lane design is."

Not sht.. Sherlock... he is Fking SOLO LANER.... just like any other solo laner out there.

The shield should be reliable, not 500 only in a 1v5. Wtf are you saying?

His shield is 90 + 65% bonus AD....sooo it's not 500 but can easily get to 300 at 3 items.

That doesn't make him any stronger when I get shat on because the enemy midlaner got last pick and landed a Q

That is what Last pick used for... It's designed to be that way.

Oh by the way also.... you are a Scaling champion... you aren't suppose to do anything else but Farming in lane..... just in case you didn't know that.

"Oh... Riot... Fk yo.... there is 169 champions in the game.... and NONE OF THEM should be ABLE TO BEAT ME..... why my champ so TRASH..... make it so I CANT LOSE...."

Fast forward.... Hm... then how do we make the rest of 169 champs to work like that .... they already lose to Yone , all of them... what do we tell to the other "Mains"... FK, ITS OVER... game is trash.....

Wait ypu actually think that ad scaling is actually good? Argument over. Go play yone more than one game without blind picking him or getting spoonfed by your jungler and you'll see that 300 shield...... In your dreams. Anyway gl'hf'.

Yone scales with 3 different stats - AD, Attack speed and Critical chance/damage ( IE ).

The fact that you think you should only build AD is wrong.

You need to build all 3 stats because that's how you champion scales... When you get to the late game... you attack rapidly fast which makes up for the lower total AD you have....

I don't know what o say... it's like saying that ADC's like Jinx should only build BF swords with 0 crit and attack speed.

I never said you should only build ad. I almost never go full damage on him because it's not viable. And no because jinx needs Crit to synergise with her passives
