How to Play
- Cycle push→roam thanks to W: every priority mid can become a threat on the sides.
- Create angles: place E first, then channel Q while staying within safe range.
- Don't force trades before your first back mana/haste; aim for priority then roam.
- Against assassins: Exhaust + Stasis Enchant, defensive R guard.
Playing Against
- Take MR early (Mercury's, Null-Magic) and Quicksilver to get out of E; R knock-ups don't clean up.
- Cut his roams: pings after each push and deep wards on W trajectories.
- Avoid narrow corridors where E+R lock the area.
- Interrupt the Q channel with any crowd control, even a light displacement.
