How to play it

✓

Respect R at 6

His R has huge kill pressure with a jungle gank at 6: once it's up he's very hard to collapse on.

✓

Poke before 6

Q-max and poke him out of lane early, especially if he builds bruiser or AP: your window is before he hits 6.

✓

E the Q poke

Use your E to dodge the Comet proc when he Q's you, and start Dshield if he runs Comet.

✕

Never keep trading in hoping to poke him down: he's too tanky and his R gank kills you.
