How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge his ball

Always be ready to dodge his ball — he can even fake a roam just to shoot it at you.

Win the side lane

Your window is items in the side lane — AP Kat wins it at 3 items, AD Kat at 2, so scale toward those spikes.

Farm and wait ganks

You cannot trade him, so farm as well as possible and wait for ganks — this is a losing lane.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never try to trade him in lane — you flat-out lose the trade, so just farm and play for ganks.
