Quality over quantity: Yone wins through smart play rather than raw damage - despite lower DPS (730 vs 1004/min), the 52.3% win rate shows superior utility, positioning, and team fight impact.

The Yone versus Xerath matchup in the mid 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. Meanwhile, Xerath deals primarily magic damage (95.80%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Yone is higher farming statistics (ranked 4th among role champions) (versus 46th for Xerath), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (3.1 versus 1.6) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
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 Xerath, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
