Who Wins

  • Pre-6 you dominate with Q poke and superior range, and post-6 you maintain advantage through E-Q stun into R burst combo.
  • Your ability to zone him from farm with Q placement gives you consistent control throughout laning phase.

How to Trade

  • Use Q to poke when he goes for CS, then follow with W if he tries to trade back - your range advantage lets you get damage without taking return damage.
  • Save E for his engage attempts or to set up kills with E-Q stun combo.

Wave Control

  • Push waves with Q to create roam opportunities and deny him farm under tower where he's vulnerable to ganks.
  • Keep 3+ spheres on the ground when possible to maximize your R damage threat.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste E defensively unless he has W root available - without his root he cannot gap close effectively to threaten you.
  • Positioning too far forward without vision makes you vulnerable to his post-6 flash-W-E-Q-R all-in potential.
