How to play it

✓

Dodge his E-Q combo

His E-Q flag-and-drag is the knock-up that starts every kill: dash it with your E.

✓

Counter-gank him

Counter-ganking can lose him the game: you're his worst enemy after mid-game, so track and punish his ganks.

✓

E out of his ult

Save your E to exit his R: the dash escapes his Cataclysm arena, so don't blow it early.

Never take an even 1v1: at the same item count he wins.
