Champions are still targetable inside

E

's tunnel -- displacements will push them out.

Strengths

Excels at roaming and trading, especially with more

P

's.

Can guarantee

Q

's stun as

R

's effect ends.

Can set up ganks by walking out of vision and using

E

on a wall to gapclose with his ganking teammate.

His gank assist and teamfighting become even stronger after unlocking

R

.

Synergizes well with

,

, and

. Can opt for

,

, or

when needed.

Weaknesses

E

has a longer cooldown of 22 seconds at rank 1. Once used, he can be punished.
