How to play it
DO
Answer his Wither
Wither is his only real setup — the slice says E him whenever he casts it to keep the trade in your favour.
Bully level 1
Start W and bully him at level 1 — this lane is a win, so press your early advantage.
Adapt your max
If he's competent at dodging your Q, take 3 points in Q then W max instead.
DON'T
Never keep fighting him on the side lane once he's stacked — he outscales you there most of the time.
