Below is the exact page the OTP runs — runes, skill max order, summoner spells, item build and the four tips that decide the lane, plus a quick quiz before you lock in.

How to play it

✓ DO

Respect his engage

His Q lets him run you down and stick to you — never get caught alone for a straight 1v1.

Win it late

Late game you outscale him aggressively — playing patient early buys you the fight you actually win.

Play slow, ask ganks

Be patient and call for ganks — you don't beat him solo, so don't force the lane.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never try to solo him in lane — forcing a 1v1 is how you feed this unplayable matchup.
