How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge his E root

Don't charge Q while his E is available — the root lands your whole channel on him.

Roam or split

You lose lane, so hard roam or hard split to make your impact elsewhere.

Swifties ASAP

Rush Swifties so you can actually dodge his E as often as possible.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never try to out-lane him straight up — he's a ranged version of you, so roam or split instead.
