Yone vs Samira · Bot
The lane in ten seconds, then the whole brief — written by our coach for your level, from Riot's own kits for patch 16.22. Every number checked against Riot's data. Options, never orders.
The same lane is not played the same way in Silver and in Diamond: pick your level, the advice changes. Signed in, Olymps opens on your rank. Coaching, not statistics — the abilities and Riot's cooldowns are the same at every level.
Trade when her dash is down, back off when it's up.
Stay away from minions when her dash is ready.

Go when her Q and E are on cooldown.
How the lane plays · Gold – Platinum
Yone has to close the gap on a ranged carry who wants to snowball; you win by trading on her cooldowns and respecting her dash-and-shoot reset.
Samira outranges you with AA and Q (Flair). Walk up when her Q is down or minions block her, and trade with Q and AA, then step back.
Get Q to two stacks for the knock-up dash. Use W (Spirit Cleave) as a shield when you trade, and keep E (Soul Unbound) ready to back out.
R (Fate Sealed) can pull both enemies into your team. Samira's R (Inferno Trigger) punishes anyone close to her, so watch her combo before committing.
Play it aggressive
Walk up when her E (Wild Rush) is on cooldown: she has less ability to dash in and out of your reach.
After her Q (Flair) is spent, land Q and AA, use W for the shield, and leave before she can reset.
Look for a Q knock-up when her support is out of position, then follow with AA and W.
Play it safe
When her E (Wild Rush) is up and minions are near, her dash plus Q can win a short fight. Stay at a safe distance.
Respect Samira once she has a high combo: AA, Q and E can deal a lot of damage in a short time.
When her R (Inferno Trigger) is ready and you are low, avoid the dive. Wait for the cooldown first.
Their threats · Riot's cooldowns
Wild Rush dashes through minions or champions, gives attack speed and resets on a kill. Don't stand low on health near minions when it is up.
Blade Whirl destroys missiles and blocks projectile damage. Your abilities are melee skillshots, so the real risk is her cutting your engage tools short. Bait it first.
Inferno Trigger hits everyone around her with fast shots. Don't dive into her once it is ready, especially after your knock-up or a support engage.
Your combo
›AA››Use it when her Q or E is down: the second Q dashes you in with a knock-up, then AA and W shield the trade.

Our coach reads both kits exactly as Riot publishes them for the current patch — abilities, cooldowns, costs, ranges — and writes the lane for one level at a time: Iron – Silver, Gold – Platinum, Emerald – Diamond, Master+. Every number in the text is checked against Riot's data; a line that cites anything else is dropped. No win rates, no tier lists: coaching, not statistics.
