How to play it

✓ DO

Don't get caught

Respect his root — get locked down out of position and he combos you, so the whole game is about not getting caught.

Outrade him early

He has almost no HP early, so you outrade him in lane — bully him now that he's quite a bit weaker earlier since the nerfs.

Punish his recalls

He often recalls early for tear and TPs back to tower, so match his tempo and don't let him get a free lead.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never let him catch you out of position — locked down, you're the one who gets blown up.
