How to play it
DO
Don't drag the fight
He's dangerous once a fight goes long because his Q stacks — kill him quickly or don't fight.
Invade at 3
Invade him at level 3 and kill him if his clear is sloppy — very common below Master.
Root cancels ult
If you root him he can't ult — key when you're snowballing and looking to assassinate him.
DON'T
Never let the duel go long — his Q ramps and he'll out-damage you.
