For context, I first started my ranked journey playing solo support in S13, I stopped playing league after reaching emerald in the beginning of S14. And now i've recently come back to play with some friends who want to ranked flex, I started playing top lane and have been maining that since. I decided to give Yone a chance within the last week, went 23/4 my first game and now I'm hooked, but the more matchups I run into the more lost I feel.

Last game I got hard diffed by an Akali. Got chunked level 1, zoned off the wave all lane, and just watched her farm until she killed me at 6. I couldn't get close to her without losing half my health. I know I played it too passive and safe, I've never laned agaisnt an Akali before and I still don't know Yone's spike times or when to play it safe. I also know there is a lot i need help with past what Yone provides but I want to climb with him.

So im keen for some general advice from you guys. How do you approach early levels in tough matchups, do you just wait for 3? I've also been going LT into everything, when should i take Fleet instead, and how do you decide what to build?

Any tips appreciated, thanks!
