How to play it

✓

Don't hug minions

Never stand near minions: his Overload chains through them and cooks you; without Ring or Ignite you can't even kill him.

✓

All-in on Stormraider's Surge CD

When his Stormraider's Surge is down and he's around 60% HP, that's your only real all-in timer: otherwise he's insanely hard to kill.

✓

Ult-E combo trick

If you ult-E him he ults away before E2 lands: hit E only once he's already channeling his ult to keep the follow-up timer.

✕

Never take Doran's Shield here: it's unplayable; without Ring or Ignite you'll never have the damage to kill him.
