How to play it

Respect his E
His E gives him a ton of free move speed to kite you: the second he starts using it, disengage the trade so he can't get free damage while you can't catch him.
Your window
Once Sheen is up you can start fighting: punish him when he misuses his Q3 dash or his E, opening with Q for a short, instant-burst all-in.
Wait out his W
His W is a big shield that blocks your entire Q: if he throws it out as poke, wait it out before you commit your spin.
Never get pulled into the in-between extended trade: not a short trade, not an instant all-in, because that drawn-out fight is exactly what Yone wants and it chunks you out.
