Who Wins
- You win early trades levels 1-3 with Q stack management and passive shield, plus your W blocks his main poke tool.
- At level 6, the matchup becomes skill-dependent - you can outplay his R with proper W timing and E positioning, but he gains significant kill pressure.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is to stack Q on minions, then E through minions to gap close when his W is down, auto-Q-auto for short trades.
- Save W for his W-E-Q combo or his R follow-up, don't waste it on single Q poke.
Wave Control
- Look to freeze waves early to stack Q safely and force him to overextend for CS, making him vulnerable to jungle ganks.
- Avoid hard pushing unless you can crash and recall, as you're vulnerable to his W-E-Q poke when managing large waves.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W on single Q poke - save it for his full W-E-Q combo or his R engage.
- Avoid fighting without minions nearby for E mobility, as you'll be sitting duck for his full rotation without escape options.
