How to play it

✓ DO

Predict his R engage

You can predict his engage — throw your W on the teammate you suspect he's about to R onto.

Fight when ahead

Whoever's ahead wins the 1v1, so take the duel when you hold the lead.

Even fights favor him

At the same item count he wins the 1v1, so don't duel him even — and note he's off-meta right now.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never 1v1 him on even items — at the same item count he wins the duel.
