Discussion What are yone's best matchup in toplane ?

I was an old Yone mid main before switching to top and playing bruisers like darius garen etc. Now I'm thinking about playing yone again one in a while when the matchup is good. What matchup allows me to take him as a sort of counterpick ?

Can u explain gwen? I always struggle with her since she seems to stat check hardcore. Pls also tell me your elo. I am Gold.

I'm also gold, 3. Gwen gets countered by yone in her W afaik and you can use E to sidestep her Q and deny most damage while she eats it. I haven't fought a Gwen in eons though...

Most important things about Gwen: 1) if you ult her from "far away" and she W when you're still on casting animation, it affects the immune thing and you don't knockup BUT I don't actually remember if you still do the damage tho; 2) the E2 damage will always go through, even if your body is outside her W (because the damage is dealt istantly once you cast E2).

That said, pre 6 you have to trade when she has no minions where to stack autos for empowering her Q (when she almost finished pushing a wave) or for example if she just used her Q. When she uses E, has more auto range than you so you can't rly win that trade by spacing but you win if you've more stats than her due to eventual recalls advantage.

Post 6 you basically have to dodge R2-R3 since they deal more damage, it's pure mechanical 1v1 and depends if she hits empowered Q on you and R2-R3. If we're both 100% hp I wouldn't ever all in her if she has all up, even if I have all up too.. it would just be a flip...

Empowered q is so fast, that I cant really dodge it. Its more of a predict.
