How to play it

✓ DO

Respect his scaling

Your base stats crush his early, but once he hits 6 and his core items he takes over — win before then.

Punish exhaust downtime

He can win the 1v1 only with exhaust up — when it's down, punish and kill him.

Pressure before 6

Place aggressive wards and land early ganks before he reaches 6, or you'll struggle as the game goes long.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never play passively and let him free-farm — without early pressure you'll struggle once he scales.
