How to play it

✓ DO

His kit denies you

He can keep you in check for the whole fight — his kit denies you any real chance to do damage in a teamfight.

Force the 1v1

At even items you win the 1v1 outright — the issue is catching him, since he can just run away from the fight.

Don't fall behind

He wins if he gets ahead — don't let him snowball, since your 1v1 edge disappears once he's fed.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never expect an easy dive — his kit is built to deny you in teamfights, and he can just run from a losing 1v1.
