How to play it

✓

Your window

He's very weak early: all-in at level 2/3 and abuse him. Let him push, then jump the wave and reset on him.

✓

Deny his setup

Kill his Voidlings on sight, and don't stand next to minions about to die to his E: the passive spreads to you.

✓

His ult (R)

After 6, respect his point-click suppress ult: give him prio unless you've tracked the enemy jungler and support.

✕

Never dive him post-6 blind: his ult locks you in place and hands the enemy jungler a free kill.
