Below is the exact page the OTP runs — runes, skill max order, summoner spells, item build and the four tips that decide the lane, plus a quick quiz before you lock in.

How to play it

✓ DO

Take early prio

He has no wave control at level 1, so take prio — just don't trade HP while pushing, his Q chunks you even when you win the trade.

Narrow trade window

Your few windows are when he's low on mana off the fourth wave and before he starts stacking armor.

Respect his R

Keep a finger on Flash whenever his R is up — flashing forward into a melee E bump toward your tower buys you space to hurt him.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never trade HP while pushing the first waves — his Q gets you too low even when your trades win, and you lose if you're both low.
