How to play it

✓ DO

Cancel his Q

Use your E2 to cancel his Q — his charged knockup is his one trade threat, so interrupt it before you commit.

Trade on the cancel

When you want to trade, E2-cancel his Q first — that's your opening in an otherwise slow lane.

Just farm

It's a boring lane — farm up safely and don't force what isn't there.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Don't commit to a trade without E2 up to cancel his Q — that knockup is his whole kill threat.
