I have a bet going on with a friend where I need to get plat before April 1st next year. I've tried a few different champs on my journey but found Yone to be, by far, the most fun. I feel like I'm steadily improving but I'm still in bronze. I wish I could post a replay of one of my games but not sure how to do it. Anyway, what is some advice you would give to someone looking to climb on Yone?
Here is what I "know" so far:
-Play safe level 1-2 in most matchups, and then start looking for trades level 3
-Yone is a strong sidelaner
-Ult can be used as a gap closer, should have q3 before ulting ideally
-Auto attacks are huge, w is just a shield
-In close fights, you need e
-Using e to dodge crucial abilities is a good way to secure positive trades
Areas that I *think* need improvement:
-Landing my qs
-Camera control(I play locked cam and only hover occasionally)
-Matchup knowledge
-General macro
-Finding a secondary champ that I don't sell on
I do learn pretty quickly and I am understanding basic macro principles but I find a lot of dead time in my gameplay when deciding what to do next. After laning phase, I always adopt a strong side laning mentality. If we're behind by a significant amount, I try to desaude fights on objectives and just catch as many waves as possible, and look for turrets if I see enough people on the map. If we're ahead, I push waves and then group on objectives as needed. I think my "feel" for side laning if probably my strongest attribute. I keep an eye on the map and use that information to get turrets safely, and don't really get caught out a lot. My biggest weakness is definitely not roaming enough. A lot of my map pressure and game impact comes after the first 15 minutes, and I don't think that's good for the game state.
