How to play it
DO
Respect his flag combo
The electrocute lethality J4 bursts off his flag-and-pull — respect it before you hit Sheen.
Punish his commit
Post-6 with Sheen, all-in when he flags toward you or wastes his escape ability.
Ping his roams
His main way to win is getting fed off the map — ping missing whenever he leaves lane.
DON'T
Don't let him roam free — getting fed outside lane is one of his only ways to win.
