How to play it

✓

His suppression ult

His R suppresses you: using your ult just before his lands can cancel it, but it's not super reliable.

✓

Perma-charge him

Perma-charge at him: he's very weak to your engage and you destroy him in most trades.

✓

Aggro rune swap

You swap to Press the Attack here instead of your usual Lethal Tempo: it rewards the all-ins this matchup wants from you.

✕

Never rely on your ult to cancel his suppression: treat it as a bonus, not the plan.
