How to play it

✓

His Q cancels your spin

His Q knockup cancels your E spin if timed right: start trades with an auto or wait until he Q's minions, then spin.

✓

Long trades post-Q

He wants short trades; you want long ones: commit whenever he's used his Q and you still have E, and you win the 1v1.

✓

Save spin to stick

When you dive, hold your spin to stick onto him, not for damage: move between autos to stay between him and his turret escape.

✕

Never open a trade with your E spin: his Q knockup cancels it, so lead with an auto.
