How to play it

✓

Block his W

Block Twisted Advance with your W: his root is what kicks off his W+R+Q lockdown for ganks.

✓

Q after his Q

Save Q for after his Bramble Smash: dash in once it's down to stick to him and trade.

✓

Avoid short trades

His Bami's Cinder and high base damage win short trades, so extend the fight or just farm it out.

✕

Never last-hit with Q in lane: his passive punishes it, so save Q to stick to him instead.
