How to play it

✓

Answer his R

His R channel-suppresses you for the kill: time your W to survive it and don't 1v1 him until BORK or QSS is up.

✓

Run him down early

Q onto his voidlings when he spawns them, then Q straight onto him and auto him down before 6.

✓

Level 1 minions

Don't sit in the dying melee minions or his E spreads onto you.

✕

Fight him alone post-6 before BORK or QSS: his R will suppress and kill you.
