How to play it

✓ DO

Don't charge into Rupture

Never charge your Q while his Rupture is up — if you never eat it, this lane is basically impossible to lose.

Out-push and roam

He can't out-push you — hard-shove, then go bully mid or jungle with your teammates.

Don't over-roam

Look for roams, but never spend both ult AND TP on one unless it's a guaranteed double, or you fall behind on CS.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Charge your Q while his Rupture is up — that single mistake is how you lose this lane.
