How to play it
DO
His Q executes
His Q has insane radius and is very hard to miss — it can crit and one-shot you if you're low.
Farm, don't trade
The early lane is rough — avoid trading, take your Q stacks under tower and call for jungle help.
He tower-dives
His E tanks turret shots, so he'll dive you with the enemy jungler — back below 1/3 HP.
DON'T
Don't stay in lane low on HP — his Q crit will execute you and his E lets him dive your tower freely.
