How to play it

✓

Respect his R

His R suppresses you: play around the channel, but you don't actually need QSS here.

✓

Break shield, steal ult

Break his shield with Q, then take his ult and use it at the same time to catch him off guard.

✓

Q clears voidlings

Your Q one-shots his voidlings, so they're free to clear away.

✕

Never waste a QSS slot on this matchup: you don't need it to deal with his ult.
