How to play it

✓ DO

Don't feed his W

Never waste your Q into his W pool — if he W's your Q and dives under your wave he heals massively, and his W also heals and slows, so don't stand in it.

All-in when W is down

His W cooldown is high early — with Ignite up he's very all-inable every time his W is on cd; Q-auto quick trades chip him between windows.

Get a lead by 7

Get a lead by level 7 or he outscales you hard — as his W CDR climbs, all-in windows dry up and longer trades favor him.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never waste your Q into his W pool — if he baits it and dives under your wave he heals to full and the trade is very winning for him.
