How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge his Q

His Q (Decimating Smash) is a charged slam — sidestep the fully-charged knockup or interrupt the windup before it lands, since it's his only real setup on you.

Run him down

This is a hard-win counterpick — once his Q is committed he has no reset, so weave autos between your Qs and win the extended trade outright.

Q his Q

Use your own Q to trade back into his — space the sweet spot so you punish him while his slam whiffs.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never eat a fully-charged Q knockup — it's the one window that lets an easy lane trade back into you.
