Who Wins
- You lose early 1v1s levels 1-3 due to K'Sante's superior base damage and Q poke range advantage.
- At level 6, you still struggle in pure 1v1s since K'Sante's R provides strong all-in potential while your R is primarily for map plays.
How to Trade
- Your best trades involve Q-empowered autos when K'Sante steps up for CS, then immediately W to block his Q return damage.
- Extended trades favor K'Sante due to his sustain and damage output, so keep exchanges short and use your W strategically to negate his key abilities.
Wave Control
- Focus on freezing the wave near your tower to force K'Sante to overextend for CS where you can punish with short trades.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you're looking to recall or roam with R, as K'Sante can easily freeze against you and zone you from farm.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your W reactively after taking damage - anticipate K'Sante's trading patterns and use W proactively to block his Q or empowered autos.
- Avoid using E aggressively for trades as it leaves you vulnerable to his full combo and potential jungle ganks.
