How to play it

✓

Dodge his Q pullback

Don't get hit by his Q pullback: it hands him big damage buffs early, and that's what flips a trade against you.

✓

All-in at 6

Level 6 is your all-in: his ult does nothing in lane, so once your R is up, land E and Q and run him down.

✓

Time your W

Save W for when he taunts you (E) to eat the damage, or to wait out his W zone before you re-engage.

✕

Never eat his Q pullback in the early trades: it gives him big damage buffs that turn the lane in his favor.
