How to play it

✓

W-spam early

Early is your window: W-spam him and grind out the short trades before his level-6 all-in comes online.

✓

Space his Q

His Q does good damage early: space it, and land your E just before he Q's since it catches him in an animation.

✓

Check his runes

Check Conqueror vs Stormraider's Surge: the lane revolves around it; if he runs Stormraider's Surge, landing E barely matters since he speeds out of range.

✕

Never sit below ~70% HP after level 6: a Flash-Ignite into his R executes you while his silence keeps you from Flashing out.
