How to play it
DO
Fear his stacked Q
A fully stacked Q wins him the 1v1 before first base — don't fight him early until you have Dirk.
Spike on Dirk + Q evo
Once you have Dirk and evolved Q you're stronger — evolve Q first and look to duel or counter-gank him.
Invade same-side
You can only invade him same-side early — an opposite-side invade is too slow without a giga leash.
DON'T
Never duel him early while his Q is fully stacked — he wins that 1v1 before your first item; wait for Dirk and evolved Q.
