Heavily unfavoredPre-6 HardPost-6 HardTake Ignite

How to play it

Respect his 6 all-in
His ult all-in at 6 is what kills you: respect it hard once he buys AP.
All-in at 6
Save your kill for level 6 after your Dirk recall: that's your one real window on him.
Don't trade early
His passive shield and armor make AD trades a loss: take Doran's Shield or tear and just farm up.
Never keep trading into his passive shield pre-6: his armor makes AD trades a losing game.
