Yone Win Condition

The goal is to minimize and only be opportunistic. You can win if you manage to land two or three extended trades using Lethal Tempo and a good Yone EE.

Pantheon Win Condition

They win if they can force extended trades or if they can commit easily. If you fall behind, say goodbye to your game.

General Strategy

You must play towards your strengths (opportunistic trades) and away from theirs. Take a few creeps but preserve HP, playing the lane very safely. It is crucial to keep the wave on your side. This prevents him from easily Yone WW-ing onto you, as he commits hard when the wave is on your side, making his escape difficult.

Pantheon struggles in extended trades. There are amazing interactions with hisPantheon EE (Aegis Assault): if you Yone RR or Q3 behind him when he Yone EE's, your damage will still apply fully, negating his block. Exhaust is very good here to slow him down in the long, extended trades you want to force.

Trading Patterns

To be safe, you want the wave on your side. Only go for extended trades if you can quickly stack Lethal Tempo and secure a good Yone EE.

Wave Management

The standard approach is to let the wave slowly come into you ("wave effect"). You should keep the wave on your side to maximize safety. Keeping the wave on your side is crucial as it discourages him from committing.
