Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range, Q poke, and disengage tools, making it difficult for him to find meaningful trades.
- Post-6 becomes more dangerous as his R can catch you even through your E, but your R provides strong counter-engage and self-peel options.
How to Trade
- You want to constantly Q poke when he goes for CS, then use W-E combo to disengage when he tries to E forward onto you.
- Look for extended trades with W root into full combo when his E is on cooldown and he can't gap close effectively.
Wave Control
- You should maintain distance and use Q to both poke and clear waves efficiently, keeping the wave in a neutral position where you can poke safely.
- Avoid hard pushing unless you have vision as you're vulnerable to ganks, but don't let him freeze as he becomes more dangerous in longer lanes.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your E defensively too early in trades as it's your primary escape tool against his all-in potential.
- Avoid using W aggressively when his E is available as he can easily dodge it and punish you during the cooldown window.
