How to play it

✓ DO

Respect Q+R burst

His Q + R combo can burst you and cancel your Q mid-cast — don't channel it where his cask can punish you.

Kill pressure all lane

You hold kill pressure the entire lane — take your windows when his key cooldowns are down, but stay wary of ganks.

His max decides it

The lane depends entirely on his max: if he Q-maxes, bully with a Tiamat rush; if he E-maxes, play with your minions and never without them.

✕ DON'T

⛔

When he E-maxes, never fight him without your minions around you.
