The Yone versus Gwen matchup in the top lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Except for rare builds, Yone deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Gwen has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.
An important advantage of Yone is higher farming statistics (ranked 23rd among role champions) (versus 44th for Gwen), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Yone player to maintain constant pressure on Gwen, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
