Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades through superior range and burst potential, as your E outranges his Q and your full combo deals more damage than his.
- Post-6 the matchup shifts slightly in his favor since his R gives him global pressure and pick potential that you cannot match.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is E-auto-Q-auto when he steps up for CS, using your range advantage to poke safely.
- Always look to proc your passive with autos after landing abilities, as this maximizes your damage output in short trades.
Wave Control
- You should push waves early to deny his roaming opportunities and force him to use mana clearing under tower.
- Maintain vision control and communicate his R cooldown to your team, as preventing his roams is more valuable than perfect CS.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use your Q aggressively without vision of the enemy jungler, as you become extremely vulnerable to ganks without your primary escape tool.
- Avoid standing in minion waves where his Q can hit both you and minions for waveclear while also trading.
