Who Wins
- You win short trades pre-6 with Q poke and auto-attacks, but lose all-ins once he gets passive stacks.
- Post-6 you must respect his R engage range completely, as being isolated removes all your kiting advantages.
How to Trade
- Poke with Q through minions and auto-attacks when he goes for CS, then immediately create distance.
- Never allow extended trades where he can proc passive or land multiple Qs on you.
Wave Control
- Maintain a slow push to keep minions between you and him, using the wave as protection for Q poke.
- Avoid hard shoving as this leaves you vulnerable to ganks and all-ins in the long lane.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't greed for souls or CS when he has E available, as getting pulled guarantees a losing trade or death.
- Never fight him in his R realm as you lose all positional advantages and cannot utilize your range.
