Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades through Q sustain and W attack speed, but Blitzcrank's E disrupts your Q healing and his passive shield absorbs early damage.
- Post-6 you dominate all-ins since R guarantees extended trades where your sustain and DPS overwhelm his burst.
How to Trade
- Look for extended trades after baiting his Q, then engage with your own Q to heal through his combo while your W attack speed lets you out-DPS him.
- Avoid short trades where his E-auto-R combo chunks you without allowing counterplay.
Wave Control
- Push early levels to build a minion advantage, then maintain a slow push to create large waves that make his Q engages risky.
- After 6, freeze near your tower to force him to overextend for farm, setting up easy R engages.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase through minions when he has Q available, as getting hooked into his minion wave while taking creep damage often results in losing favorable trades.
- Avoid using Q on minions when he's in hook range, as you'll be animation-locked and vulnerable.
