Q
collides with a wall, it returns faster.

's bonus armor stacks up to 8 times.

Strengths

A well-placed
W
can win teamfights.
Best with items that enhance his physical damage, life steal, and armor penetration.
Has high burst damage with
Q
and
R
.
Scales well and has a strong early game. Has the option to play aggressively and invade the enemy jungler.

Weaknesses

R
can be underwhelming in most situations past the mid-game, and is more commonly used for mobility over damage then.
Struggles against magic damage, as
E
only grants Armor.
