How to play it

✓

Respect his barrels

His barrels hit hard early: W every one he uses on you, and be careful of his all-in when he's standing on a barrel with Ignite.

✓

Berserker's powerspike

Fight him early for a kill, and once you have Berserker's Greaves you can one-shot him from near full with Ignite Q E auto auto R.

✓

Take the lvl-1 bush

Run straight to the bush from base at level 1 to deny his barrel bush-cheese and punish his face-check.

✕

Never let him free-farm into the late game: you must fight for an early lead or he outscales you for free.
