How to play it
DO
Avoid his stun
Sidestep his W — stay out of the stun field and he can never lock you down.
Root his dive
When he goes in, root him and kite out, then re-poke with EQ on your next rotation.
Poke every time
Poke him constantly — chip him down every time he steps up to farm.
DON'T
Never get stunned — it's the one thing that turns this easy lane into a real fight.
