How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge his W

every time — it's the one ability flagged to sidestep in this lane.

Short trades only

He's a tankier Yasuo — take short trades or none at all, never anything extended.

No kill pressure

Ignore ranged minions and look for roams — you have no kill pressure here without ganks, and even those are dubious.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never let him get in range to Q you — don't ever give him that opener.
