How to play it

✓

Close on his poke

His range is his only tool: dodge the poke and close the gap, because he's a weak duelist once you reach him.

✓

Punish overextension

If he overextends and you have Rocketbelt, you can easily solo-kill him.

✓

You beat him post-6

You beat him 1v1 and in teamfights at every stage after level 6: play for the all-in.

✕

Never just sit back and let him poke you from range: close the gap and he folds.
