: Good early, god like late.
Any tips on counterplay for melee? Since his barrels chunk half you health (rendering 
useless ) , slows you and give him move speed, any option that isn't one shot him (that is hard since he has a get out of the jail orange for CC)?
You cant engage because he will chunk you. If you don't he will poke you with his Q.

Tohob1 voteshe runs out of mana early. dodge barrels early on and pick someone with good early sustain like 
and then he'll be out of mana and you'll be full hp. then you can bully him all you want.
tplegs07081 votesi personally think shens oKKAAAYY into him... just be patient with ur timing and try to cut down his singles 1 proc barrels if he goes for the 2 barrel method which he will later then taunt out of the range as he goes for it the shield (w) helps against the early parlays too along with dorans shield almsot nutralizes all the damage also shen allows for crssmap help just like his ult but also gives the more bodily threat only downfall to shen is most likely ull lose on the farm game and be pushed in... which isnt TOOO bad if u land ur taunts and ask for some ganks to help the gp down
Chibi Templar1 votesBan him. Beating him in lane isn't "hard", because he has mana problems early on, its stopping him from getting ahead from kills on the other side of the map.
If you end up being forced to fight one, any ranged top laner can contend with him(Quinn, Teemo,ect.), Kayle can also very easily get ahead of him and can contend him toe to toe when she has her ult. Snipe his barrels before he can get to them with his Q, don't try to trade with him when his passive is up.
