How to play it

✓ DO

Respect his lvl 2

He's strong at level 1-2 — if you can't hit the wave for free, keep your HP high, give him the push, and respect his level 2 all-in.

Your lvl 2 all-in

If he's late to lane and you get free wave hits, trade dragthrough for his Q's and play for a level 2 all-in.

Sidestep his E

He spams E coming out of your taunt — predict it and run sideways as it ends to get around him, then punish his W by pressing Q+W while he's airborne.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never try to out-fight him at level 1-2 — he's stronger, so keep your HP high and respect his level 2 all-in instead.
