How to play it
DO
Don't duel him solo
You counter him in lane, but don't give him an isolated fight — respect his R and match his sidelane instead.
Win the lane
You hard-counter him in lane — bully him early and bank a CS and health lead.
Sidelane all game
He's annoying past lane: you're condemned to sidelane against him to stop backdoors and tower one-shots.
DON'T
Never rotate off your sidelane without Teleport up — he'll backdoor and one-shot a tower.
