The video guide focuses on how to play Zed against Yorick in the laning phase and beyond, covering strategies, rune choices, and gameplay tips for success.

What are the recommended rune choices for Zed against Yorick?

The recommended rune choices include Precision with secondary options like Domination with Sunfire and Al Hunter, Sorcery with Scorch and Transcendence, or Resolve with Second Wind or Bone Plating and Overgrowth. Electrocute is also an option.

What is the suggested early game strategy for Zed against Yorick?

The early game strategy involves playing safe, avoiding pushing the wave, and focusing on farming until Zed gets his Eclipse item, which is crucial for gaining an advantage.

Why is it important for Zed to avoid pushing the wave early in the game against Yorick?

Pushing the wave early can result in losing control over the lane, allowing Yorick to potentially zone Zed out and stack waves, making it harder for Zed to farm and trade effectively.

What is the significance of the Eclipse item for Zed in this matchup?

Eclipse is significant because it usually gives Zed an item advantage over Yorick, who typically prioritizes building Zhonya's Hourglass first, allowing Zed to start winning trades after acquiring Eclipse.

How should Zed approach trading with Yorick after getting Eclipse?

Zed should look for opportunities to trade when Yorick uses his abilities, particularly his E (Mourning Mist) and Q (Last Rites), and use Zed's abilities to their full potential, such as buffering Qs during Yorick's ultimate.

What is the recommended combo for Zed to use against Yorick after level six?

The recommended combo involves using Zed's W (Shadow Slash) to bait Yorick into using his abilities, then ulting (Death Mark), auto-attacking, and using E (Spectral Slash) and Q (Razor Shuriken) to maximize damage while avoiding Yorick's abilities.

Why is it not advised to ult Yorick when he has his Q3 ability ready?

Ulting Yorick when he has his Q3 (Last Rites) ready allows him to use the ability to escape or reposition, potentially wasting Zed's ultimate and giving Yorick an advantage.

What is the importance of side-stepping during trades with Yorick after using Zed's W?

Side-stepping helps Zed stay out of Yorick's Q (Mourning Mist) range while keeping Zed's abilities ready for a counter-attack, ensuring Zed can react effectively to Yorick's moves.

How can Zed ensure both of his Qs hit Yorick during a trade?

Zed can ensure both Qs hit by placing his W (Shadow Slash) in the direction of Yorick's expected landing after using E (Mourning Mist) and Q3 (Last Rites), allowing both the original Zed and his shadow to hit with Q (Razor Shuriken).

What is the main takeaway for playing Zed against Yorick according to the guide?

The main takeaway is to be patient early on, avoid ulting Yorick when he has his Q3 ready, and to use Zed's abilities effectively to exploit Yorick's locked positions during his ability casts.

Transcripts

hey what's up guys ilg also known as ilg

here Challenger Zed since season 9 blah

blah blah and welcome to my Zed versus

yon guide in this video I'm going to go

over the laning phase as well as after

the laning phase just everything that

you want to do as Z against your own to

have success before the landing phase

starts I'll talk a bit about the runes I

like to go first strike with Precision

secondary just show them on the screen

but you can also go domination secondary

with sun impact and Al Hunter which is

what I would take or s

with Scorch and Transcendence which is

what I'll take or you could go um

resolve with either second win or bone

plating and overgrowth all of those

options do fine you can also go

electrocute if you'd like I would go

electrocute sudden eyeball Al Hunter

Scorch and

Transcendence you could go Taste of

blood instead of s I just think Soden is

probably better into Yun and that's

pretty much it for the runes if you're

not sure what to go just go first strike

with Transcendence and Scorch so I'll

talk over the first five or six minutes

of the lane I've already played this

game so I can focus on talking which is

great against the own you kind of just

want to play safe you don't want to

shove the wave you don't want to hit the

wave because you don't win early level

trades so if you push you don't really

have control so he can Zone you off

instead so it's best to just chill f

with

Q as I Mr CS unlucky

but um yeah the main thing is don't push

and just

relax you know just wait for first

recall and as you work towards your

eclips and you get actually get eclips

that's when you start winning as he hits

me with q but his Q went through my

backline minions so I'm actually quite

happy with that because it means he

likely won't be able to stack three

three waves since he's pushing quite

quickly and that's what we want just

want to eat eat out the

minions uh

um so yeah it's very very boring but

there's not really any other

option uh for the early Ling phase as I

do like the

most um get head W to farm and stuff but

yeah it's kind of just this is the most

ideal way to play against your own which

is

not good in terms of the state of the

game uh or the state of this match up I

guess is kind of a bit silly

because in the ear game you kind of

don't win the trades I could choose to W

EQ

him as I just W in but I was mainly

going for the Cs um so I I could choose

to W EQ him to poke but I would do like

200 damage and like if I hit my Q's

usually I don't hit my Q's cuz I suck

but if I hit the q's I'll do like 200

damage and then I lose all control over

the Lane right so it's not worth using

my spells to poke you own and until I

get first recoil at

[Music]

least just farming

away so yeah the first few levels is

just very

boring um but then after first recoil

after you get like pickaxe double long

sword or Eclipse especially because when

you finish Eclipse you usually have an

item Advantage right because yon wants

to finish zura Graves first item

every game so you're going to have

Eclipse before he finishes his first

item which puts you in a good Advantage

very good Advantage if you can get there

without dying that's basically the

goal as we just Farm my wave is kind of

pushing towards him with any

qes and I see has four minions so it's

pushing towards me just

chilling but yeah he can usually just

Perma shove and that's kind of usually

what they do the

yones um and the Asos they usually shove

every wave but I mean it's pretty troll

my jungler walks there dies

unfortunate but you know I don't panic I

don't chove my wave I don't move my wave

you know just have to keep control um

while I

can but

yeah this is more or less the early

leaning phase right here I tried to look

for Diana cuz I saw she was low actually

as she passed by and then I see the

health thing so she took

it and then I just que him get some

first strike and go

back now it's looking fine Ran's coming

in so I think I try

to just go in fight him as you can see

if I ever did that without rron I would

like instantly die right I almost died

anyways but yeah so like you can't

really trade uh before first recall I

would say even if you have electrocute

it's not

ideal gosh I have a cough forgive

me right here I'm picking to dive him

actually this ends up quite well cuz he

has to

Reco so I just shove

it and then I walk up because I want to

make sure he doesn't recoil Too Close

cuz I can stop him while I have alt I

know he has TP but I want to force a bit

back no a bit further back since Diana

is dead um or like I saw Diana was dead

so I walk up a bit and yon has TP so

then he can TP but if I force him back a

bit he's going to miss some a lot more

minions which he does and that's

basically level one to six right here

I'll just show you an Allin that you can

use against yon the W forward is

whatever that's not the part I want to

show you it's when I go in here and I

ult him he ults me and right before his

ult goes through I throw my qes out so

if you saw that he locked himself into

place and I buffered the cues so both of

my Q's hit because my shadow and me were

in range to hit him with q and that's a

good way to always hit your Q's or at

least two Q's on your own you can abuse

his ult against himself kind of because

usually when you Al y own they like to

Al you and the way you can counter that

is you just Al him and then you throw

the CES as soon as you see his ult on

you throw the CES behind you if you

think or if you know that Your Shadow is

in range as well and both qes will hit

him and you likely win the

fight and yeah that's a good way to

secure the C secure the CES is you just

like let him Al you you know um after

you hit Al and abuse the fact that yon

has spells which keeps him in locked

positions that's sort of what this

matchup is about in a nutshell just

abusing the fact that you own uh Q3 and

ALT mainly and and I guess e E2 as well

those spells keep him in a position

which keeps him locked in place and you

can abuse

that that's more or less like the whole

match up in a nutshell but I'm going to

show you some more tricks and stuff I

like to use against yon uh throughout

the rest of this game and also are going

to practice tool

later however do make sure you don't ult

yon who has his Q3 because then he can

Q3 through your alt where you appear and

then he can like Al away or he can just

Q3 and then run with his extra movement

speed from his boots and usually he

covers enough distance to like make you

waste your Al basically so make sure you

don't ult your own if he has Q3 but you

can abuse his Al against him if he

doesn't have Q3 and you ult him that's

usually what he's going to do so yeah

ignore my ult in this clip I just want

to show you my uh bread and butter combo

against your own I like to use to trade

so once he has his Q3 you walk into his

EQ range or eq3 range and then once he e

he does the Q3 you can see the little

animation a Q3 has from y he like steps

back a tiny tiny bit and then he goes in

with the Q3 once you see that little

step back you can put your W behind you

so where the Q3 wouldn't hit you and

then just do qw so both Q's will go

towards where the Y is going to land on

Q3 and that's

usually really good trade I mean in this

clip obviously I trolled cuz I ult it

after you usually want to hold your ult

after that trade and stay outside of his

Q range but inside your alt range in

case he alts you cuz his Al is going to

be higher range you don't want to run

outside of his alt range but just you

know play in between you know outside

his Q range but within your alt range

after taking that little w w backwards

trade that's basically how you want to

play that kind of trade out after level

six don't do that trade if you don't

have ult cuz then he can run you down

with his Al and you might die and you

can also choose to like ult him after

his E2 goes back right um like in that

trade scenario I guess I just rewind it

back just rewind it back whatever so in

this scenario here I ult him too quickly

obviously but if I don't ult him I take

that trade right this is fine this Alo

attack but then after this Al attack I

should like run a bit further back maybe

this AO attack is bad actually so let's

see we do that yeah the AO attack is bad

cuz it's greedy we took a really good

trade I'm just limit testing that's why

I don't know I don't know what I'm doing

but after that trade I would want to run

back and just wait like outside his Q

range and then try to time my ALT on his

like Snapback cuz there's a short short

time if he can react um and that would

like I think that's the way to do it

obviously I trolled was limit testy but

yeah I shouldn't ult early as well you

should ult when you see his Snapback me

alting early is just insecure but

um yeah usually you just want to play

around that range after taking that you

know successful trade which is always

going to be successful with the nature

of the trade right he he's using his e

and his Q3 so he won't be able to catch

you without alting or flashing so that's

already a success and yeah I mean that's

the main bread and butter trade that you

want to use like in landing phase um uh

after level six or after first recall

and after Eclipse definitely and yeah I

mean you can't really go wrong with it

unless you don't have ult or you run too

far away afterwards so you run outside

of your ult range and then he can Al you

and perhaps kill you and yeah I mean

that makes it like harder to deal with

kind of um but in general it's usually a

win-win situation here's a mid to late

game fight against yon in this fight I

buffer my Q's as I'll show you I use my

w straight away just to try and bait him

a bit onto me before he Stacks his Q

which he does so I ult him Al eane then

I see his ult so I let his ult hit me

but I make sure I use my qes behind me

to move hit the cues as he locks himself

into place when his Al hits me so it's

quite simple against y own because a lot

of his spells lock him into place even

his like e his E1 even E2 definitely Q3

there alt as well you know they lock him

into a specific place which allows you

to hit your cues and you can set things

up for that so right here when i al him

I auto eane straight away just in case

he doesn't use his Al straight away

since he had another option which is

using

e right usually the good Ys would e

after you ought them so if he did e in

this situation though my w would come

back in time because I get my e onto him

Auto e and I will wqw aluto right after

that so if you imagine the combo right

here I alt Auto e right here all that

damage right all of that damage let's

say he used e instead my w will be

coming up in 0.2 seconds as you can see

and then I will wqw

Auto um onto the Y I wouldn't wait for

his E2 uh that's another thing usually

you don't want to wait for the Ys E2 if

he uses e after you hold them just wqw

Alo make it quick make it snappy and if

you want to do that it's also good to

use it auto e profane like I do here to

poke him a bit lower make sure I can get

the passive Auto attack in the event

that he does use e instead of Al and

that would pretty much kill him so it's

kind of a win-win situation against yon

in the mid to late game provided you are

even or ahead uh if you're behind it's

more tough but you can do it uh

especially if you have teammates to just

help you uh line up the Spells even

better um you can kill him and you know

get back into the game but usually you

know if you're even this definitely

works you know lining up your spells all

that good stuff the main thing is he

doesn't have his Q3 so that's why I

ought him if he did have Q3 then it

would be terrible to ult him cuz that's

a way to lose the fight against yon 1 V

one so that's the main takeaway is do

not Al yon while he has Q3 that is uh I

would say number one thing to take from

this video in general um cuz I think a

lot of Zeds probably do that and it's

not really the way but yeah in general

this match Up's about you

know uh just throwing your spells where

your own's abilities takeen but yeah uh

let's get into practice tour and talk

about a few more things uh that I didn't

properly cover perhaps what's up guys

here I'm in practice tour I'm a bit too

lazy to get a yon to do it so we're just

going to pretend this is a little Yon

this dummy yeah he cues the minion we're

both like one item I have a clipse he

has Zera Greaves and a couple of

components he cues it he has stacked Q

now let's say he has stuck Q I want to

stand around here if he was like here

like just outside of his Q three range

so he has to use e to catch me and then

he would e there and then right here he

would use his Q3 soon as I see that

little animation of his like step back

like a tiny step back before he does his

Q3 then I use my WBY right there and do

it like that as he jumps in he will jump

into the

cu's and that's a good little combo

there that's like your bread and butter

after your level six level seven after

first recoil maybe second recoil and

Eclipse you

know um because obviously before first

recall we kind of saw that uh yeah we're

just chilling we can't really win trades

but that W backwards is is the bread and

butter basically so there you go also it

could be good to like line the W up with

the direction of his Q3 actually so if

he did that let's say he was there he

dashed over there with his e while he

had a stacked queue and then now he's

going to queue me from there the

direction is this way so it usually is

kind of good to just place my w like

right here you don't want to place it

too far that's another thing you don't

want to place it too far cuz you want

both qes to hit but I will place it in

the direction just like that to ensure

you know the success rate of both Q is

hitting right do it in the direction so

he jumps from there has Q3 he uses it

like that as soon as I see the little

animation thing we do that and then we e

and we run we don't Auto attack it's

just spells there you go that's the

combo shown

again yeah this is a long guide I know

but there you go guys enjoy the guide I

hope you're enjoying the guide we're not

done yet so yeah stay tuned I didn't get

to properly demonstrate this like in the

game against the OWN I hope the dummies

are useful for your imagination by the

way um but yeah if I if I Al the Yon I

Alo e profane right and then if he uses

e let's say he uses e that

direction right so I guess I want to get

rid of this Auto refresh we ult him we

Auto eane and then if he e he is there I

do WQ like that wqw get the q's out

quickly and then Alo again and then e

again

so if I show you again what it would

look like if he dashed there I guess

that's kind of a weird place to dash

let's say

instead

um how do I remove the

dummies so let's say he dashes oh what

he dashes over there okay so we Al him

Al eane he dashes and I do that straight

away and then I he's dead probably so I

take my ALT back but usually you want to

take your alt back regardless because

you win the trade and it becomes more

dangerous if he uses e and you know you

miss your Q's let's say in this

situation right we ought him he uses E I

mean wait no I did it wrong so we ult

him but then we want to use Al e profane

straight away right and then watch what

he does if he is wqw Auto and then just

Al straight away

so usually it's better not to linger

against the own and take a full trade so

in a situation where your WQ you know

cu's

Miss it's kind of just like fine right

cuz you do this you w that and then you

ult and you straight away like run away

right

so even if your Q's Miss you'll have

your Al shatter to run away and if he if

he e towards your alt Shadow then it's

more likely your cues will hit right so

he doesn't have the incentive to do that

so you just do that Al be profane wait

for either his Al or E if he Al you Q

like that if he e then I just showed you

that I'll show you again if he e that's

his e there Al e profane he is quickly

wqw get the q's out you know faster with

your wqw cuz your W2 with your Q cancels

the animation I can also show you that

real quick so if we look right here I'll

show you it's a bit slower right so WQ

that's your WQ without canceling it

and

then wqw is like that right they come

out a bit faster I don't know if you

guys can see but WQ is like that right

and then W qw oh wait I eat as well okay

wait wait wait wait wait wait it's okay

so WQ is like that

right and then W qw is like that and the

The Q's the animation's faster right I

mean slower cuz it gets canceled

but yeah so you Al Al eane he dashes W

qw Alto and then you know take your Al

Shadow and then e or you know e and then

stay on him it all depends on whether

your spells hit whether they miss and

all of those sort of things but yeah

that's basically how you play against

your own in the mid to late game these

kind of fights and know Al also a

profane he can't really do much as long

as he doesn't have Q3 if he has Q3

you're trolling don't Al him but

yeah um I did repeat myself a bunch in

this uh sort of guide I guess

but I think you guys will get the point

better if I repeat I guess I don't know

maybe I'm being silly but yeah that's

basically how you want to fight um

another thing is let's say these ARS

this isn't his e position let's say this

this dummy has a Q3 and he e there to Q

me right we do that good old W backwards

combo and then we need to evaluate so

you want to sort of hang out of outside

of his Q range like right outside of it

he's going to have an extra bit of

movement speed so you need to be careful

and just go side to side with your side

stepping so let's say there's another

dummy here

now right so that's his original

position he jumps with his e and then

his Q3 lands him here but we already

used our W backwards and he ate a bunch

of Q's we want to stay a bit back and

then just watch him and if we have the

reaction time when he snaps back like

his bottom bar goes to like zero and he

might be able to Al him and what would

happen

is I would Al him but I would go to this

one right because that's his original

position and then i e or you know

usually you want your Q up so in that

situation right here we do this right

and then we're just sort of lingering

there's a yon here with his E2 he missed

his spells he's mad all of that good

stuff let's say we Al it and we follow

obviously I can't follow the dummy but

we want to be alting him in a position

where our Q's are back up

again so I'll show you again this is

such a long video but anyways uh so he

has Q3 he is Q3 uh but obviously when

he's here we already do this and then we

have few seconds on our Q so we're just

waiting and then he's like dancing with

us getting a bit mad maybe if he lingers

then you know the main point is if he

lingers after that combo you can look to

ult him on his Snapback because your Q

will come back up and in that situation

let's say he has Al and you ought him

and you followed him now he ults you you

can just throw the que backwards right

uh you might you you'll only hit one Q

because your Shadow will actually be

over here uh but it's still pretty good

because you have a way to get out your

Shadow far away and your Q is guaranteed

if he has alt and if you have the HP to

do that you can finish him off like that

after taking a successful trade with

your W backwards that's not a w

backwards but with with your WBY

backwards right okay that's not really

you guys get the point okay

that's basically all I wanted to talk

about in practice tool so yeah there you

go guys I hope it's useful in conclusion

I would say that the Zed versus yon

matchup is quite easy if we take into

account the entirety of the game however

if we're only talking about laning phase

I would say it's a bit more tough but

it's still easy once you get Eclipse

it's like very easy before Eclipse it's

kind of hard but as you get components

it gets easier and yeah it's just in the

first few levels as long as you're

patient enough you'll be rewarded I

would say in most of your games so yeah

Play Patiently early on and after you

get a clipse or a couple components

towards that that's when you can start

trading start winning and obviously mid

to late game I shows you you guys can

kind of win you can pretty much use that

combo like all the time so yeah I mean I

hope it's all useful I hope this guide

is great um I kind of just winged it so

so yeah and have a lovely day wherever

you are in the world as you watch this

video thank you for reaching the end

leave a like if you enjoyed it subscribe

if you want I'll be posting more Zed

content only Zed unfortunately I don't
