How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge his E

His E is the main thing to dodge — predict the stun, and if you avoid it his damage isn't that high.

Taunt off-turret

Only taunt when he leaves his turrets at equal level, or taunt him under your tower and wait for a gank.

Block with W

Your W blocks his turret autos — your one saving grace when you're forced close to farm.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never taunt into his turrets — you can't contest that and you'll just melt.
