How to play it
DO
Respect his W
His W is his main threat, but it only reaches auto range (525) — every ability of yours outranges it.
Poison wins trades
You win extended trades once your poison is on him — space outside his autos or wait out his W.
Cancel his ult
His R channels ~1.5s — if you're nearby, cancel it with your W or R stun.
DON'T
Never fight inside his auto range with your poison expired — that's the only way he out-trades you.
