How to play it

✓ DO

Respect his Hop

He can Hop away, so you can't really all-in him — build an HP lead with short trades instead.

Run him down

If he walks up too far, E him and run him down with Ghost before he jumps out.

Trade to poke

Poke with Q when he goes to auto you, and trade E+Q+auto+W to build an HP lead.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never blow a full all-in on him — build an HP lead with short trades since you can't kill him outright.
