Who Wins

  • You win early trades with Q poke and can pressure him pre-6, but post-6 becomes extremely dangerous as his R makes you a free kill if you're caught out of position.
  • The matchup heavily favors you in the laning phase but requires extreme caution once he hits 6.

How to Trade

  • You want to poke with Q when he goes for CS, then use W to either secure kills with gold card or escape with blue card if he tries to trade back.
  • Avoid extended trades and focus on short poke patterns, as his E-W combo outdamages you in sustained fights.

Wave Control

  • You should look to shove and roam with R to gain advantages elsewhere, as you can't safely stay in lane post-6 without jungle pressure.
  • Use your superior early wave clear to build roaming windows and avoid giving him solo kill opportunities.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • You cannot afford to get caught by his R without flash or teammates nearby, as it's almost always a guaranteed death.
  • Don't greedily stay in lane with low HP post-6, and avoid face-checking brushes or overextending without vision of his position.
