How to play it
DO
Disengage his E
His ~22s E gapcloses and amps his damage for up to 5s — unless you're far ahead, focus on disengaging with Q move speed (or W, same CD).
Punish his return
When you're stronger, kite to the side after he E's to reach his return spot and poison it — and W before you ult so his E-return can't dodge it.
Dodge his Q
His thin 4-1s Q is easy to side-step; keep distance once he has the tornado Q — it guarantees his ult, and he can Q into Flash to extend it.
DON'T
Never W right before Yone is about to return from his E — it stops the return (his ult can extend it) and lets him keep damaging you.
