How to play it

✓

W his Q

He wins like a mage, off Q poke and cooldowns: use your W to eat his Q (or his E/W if he maxes those instead) and deny the free damage.

✓

Respect his armor

Once he buys any armor after his first back, stop taking extended fights: his shorter cooldowns and W statcheck hard-win them.

✓

Fight after your item

Early just farm and gain prio; once your first item is up your lower cooldowns and sustain flip extended fights back, so R in to start skirmishes for the team.

✕

Never take extended fights once he has armor and items: his shorter cooldowns and W statcheck hard-win them until your first item.
