Statistical Matchup Analysis

Yone dominates the meta (13th most popular, 5.8% pick rate) and regularly clashes with Azir (2.7% pick rate). Understanding this common matchup forms the foundation of consistent gameplay for one of mid lane's current powerhouses.

Challenging situation: Yone's weak 47.9% overall win rate compounds with this difficult matchup, creating serious obstacles for climbing. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Lethal Tempo + Absorb Life combination (54.9% win rate) plus optimal itemization Blade of The Ruined King, Immortal Shieldbow, Infinity Edge, and Berserker's Greaves boosts your chances from 48.2% to 59.9% - potentially game-changing.

Survive and scale: Yone faces both matchup (48.22%) and farming disadvantages (6.47 vs 7.55/min). With a 1.08 CS/min deficit, prioritize safe farming and jungle assistance. Outclassed across the board: Azir leads in both matchup win rate (51.8%) and damage (850 vs 744/min). Yone must seek alternative win conditions through macro play and team coordination. Complete dominance by Azir: leads in both matchup win rate (51.8%) and KDA (1.90 vs 1.70, 55th vs 56th place). Yone players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

How to Beat Azir as Yone (Mid)

Despite the slight difference in effectiveness, in the Yone versus Azir matchup in the mid lane, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

Except for rare builds, Yone deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Meanwhile, Azir deals primarily magic damage (91.99%), additional magic resistance may be required.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Azir, ranking 5th (versus 34th for Yone) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (1.9 versus 1.7) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Yone Mid versus Azir Mid matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Yone player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Azir player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

Playing Against Azir

  • Azir relies on his soldiers to deal damage and can only move them so often. Try to capitalize on windows of time when his soldiers are stationary.
  • Azir has immense damage over a prolonged amount of time but lacks the upfront burst of other mages. Try to burst him out before he can turn a confrontation around.
  • Try to think of Sand Soldiers as fire. Don't stand in the fire.
