How to play it
DO
Rush anti-heal
He does a lot of healing and burst, so an early Bramble Vest blunts his sustain — don't brawl him without it.
All-in once he's chunked
Don't fight him at full HP at 6 — wait until he's chunked by a turret shot or minion aggro, then all-in on your Sheen spike.
Free stacks pre-6
Pre-6, just stack Q and stall for Sheen — his Q shoves the wave to you, which is exactly what you want.
DON'T
Never all-in him at full HP right at 6 — make sure he's chunked by a turret shot or minions first.
