- Don't roam without killing him first, as he can quickly take towers
- Watch for his Bouncing Bomb (Q) - his main poke tool
Strategic Counters:
- Force direct fights instead of allowing him to poke
- Catch him out of position before objective sieges
- Deny blue buff to reduce his poke effectiveness
- Engage quickly in teamfights before he can wear down your team
Key Power Spikes to Watch:
- Level 6: Increased kill pressure with ultimate
- Early-mid game: Sorcerer's Shoes + Luden's = Fast wave clear

Remember: Focus on shutting down his wave clear and tower-taking ability early, and force direct engagements rather than allowing him to poke from a safe distance.
