LoL Yone Probuilds

Welcome to the Yone Pro Builds guide! As the Unforgotten, Yone is an Assassin and Fighter champion whose lore is deeply intertwined with that of his half-brother Yasuo. Originally a famed student in his village's sword school, Yone met a grim fate at Yasuo's hands. Resurrected and cursed with a demonic mask, he now tirelessly hunts malevolent spirits to discover what he has become. This guide aims to help you master Yone, especially in the MIDDLE lane where he thrives. Currently in the A tier with a 0.8% pick rate and 53.4% win rate, Yone can be a strong addition to your champion pool. However, he also has a 7.1% ban rate, indicating he's often considered a threat by the enemy team.
