How to Play
- Never show your position before pressing R: play walls, bushes and crossed angles.
- Stasis Enchant is part of the kit: consider it as an additional spell.
- Pathing safe early, then accelerates on the first dragon with Crowstorm.
- Lay deep effigies to track rotations and create a permanent threat.
- Abuses river fog and bushes to threaten all-in on 6.
- Don't show your face when R is up: angle pressure is as good as an ulti.
Playing Against
- Buy Stasis Enchant/Banshee's and keep control to cut off its pipe.
- Ward off walls/corners before targets: Fiddlesticks lives from blind spots.
- Invade early with a duelist and place deep wards on his multi-pull camps.
- Force short, scattered battles to avoid Crowstorm.
- Keep a hook/knock-up to interrupt his W or take him out of his zone.
