How to play it

✓

Don't Q his up Q

Never Q him while his Q is available: he Q's you or a minion to dodge your damage, and it can insta-cancel your ult.

✓

Play AD, press it

AD Kat outduels him until level 16 (unless he buys Frozen Heart) and wins side lane once you have two items.

✓

Dodge his E

Dash behind him as he casts E: he freezes for a second using it.

✕

As AP Kat, never try to win side lane against him: you can't; go AD to outduel him.
