How to play it
DO
Interrupt his W
E him as he charges Biggest Snowball Ever! — the silence cancels his cast, but the snowball keeps rolling that way, so step aside.
Counter-ult the roll-in
Once you have R, let him snowball into your team as bait, then counter-ult and delete him as he lands.
Deny his push
Never let him shove waves for free — that's what turns into the perma-roams that sink your team, so ping every roam.
DON'T
Never let him push the wave out for free — that hands him the perma-roams that snowball your whole team.

Core
Standard AP drain core: Liandry's Torment + Rylai's Crystal Scepter milk his channeled W for max damage while the slow keeps targets in range, and Zhonya's lets him ult from fog and stasis mid-channel. Flex the third slot to Banshee's Veil, Mercury's Treads, or a Null-Magic Mantle rush into heavy burst.
