How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge his W

His W near his tower can push you far under it and set up his ult — respect it there.

Trade early

You're favored early — W him when he goes for Q on the wave, and Q after his E.

Iceborn dip

You win from 6 to 11, dip when he finishes Iceborn, then win again at lvl 11 plus first item.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never dive for stacks while his ult is up — it displaces you clean out of the fight.
