Mhm, I am trying to picture the situation. You were on the red team side, right? I see, positioning yourself among own minions leads to degeneration of most possible triangles for, which is indeed good for you whenever your is up.

However, if there was at least one other minion near the sliced-through one after the successful dodge of, why didn't he just dash right back to safety (maxed has s CD..)? Also, if you positioned yourself here at that point, he could just EQ back directly through you from 475/2 distance.

"Since he's on my side, he wants to duel me next to my minions."

That actually sounds horrible. Firstly, he shouldn't want to openly duel you at all (the 'slap-fight'). Secondly, if so, not next to your minions (the aggro). As you said, he's got there by dodging your, hence it opened him a time window when you had it unavailable, and thus he could safely poke via at that point, possibly maintaining his distance with. One more such poke, and he could even use the to make his comeback to own lane side easier (he could even achieve that by ignoring you and stacking  on your caster minions..).

is so if he drew the minion aggro, he must'd autoattacked, which he should resort to only during the all-ins.

The above tactic also explains how was my aforementioned poke meant: I was aware of the superior range of, but the idea was to firstly lure it out / dodge with. That opens the time window for the poke itself. One more reason to not go into the AA-range as the refreshes from 'd reduce such window (even more cuz you'd already bought ..).

's slow is yet another reason why to avoid the slap-fights with you.. now, if you even had a upgrade.. .-.

I am coming to the same conclusion.. it wasn't enough that he was skilled as a player, cuz he had no experience with laning against  and lacked the ability to adapt to the new situation on the fly.
