Yone vs Zed Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
Two very different profiles meet in the Mid lane: Yone the fighter/assassin hybrid, Zed the assassin. The sample behind this page is 2,008 games from patch 16.13.1, and Yone wins 43.4% of them. Sitting 6.6 points below the 50% line marks Zed as a genuine problem pick for Yone.
Yone threatens Fate Sealed; Zed counters through Living Shadow. Then it becomes Fate Sealed against Death Mark, and the one still holding it sets the terms. Note the resource bars too: Flow versus Energy.
Both champions are melee (Yone at 175, Zed at 125), so the lane is decided by cooldowns rather than reach.
Both Yone and Zed threaten mainly physical damage, so one resistance covers the lane. Before items it is 620 HP, 33 armour, 32 MR for Yone; 654, 32, 29 for Zed. Yone scales to 2405 health by 18 while Zed reaches 2337.
Read 43.4% as a trend: 2,008 games is useful, not final.
