His zoning is more difficult to do when freezing the wave near your turret, especially as someone with a  since you can effectively drag him into turret range. The freezing is feasible with once he has.

Moderate sustain from something like can mitigate tornado poke, so long as you aren't taking hits from  directly.

An all-in does sound like a mistake though. I don't see winning a duel early on against  ever. Rather what makes good in my eyes is his ability to bait. If just keeps his Spirit Blade near him as he farms, he can just use  to nullify any auto harass  might try to do to bully.

The thing about is his harass is great, but his poke is horrible. relies heavily on getting free direct hits on the enemy to actually whittle them down. You can use their desperation to do a dinky little poke to do a turret. In any case, getting hit by a tornado is fine, but getting hit by that small range is not.

These things are what I feel gives him an edge over most other tanks. However, I think in general, any tank who doesn't get is going to lose against him. The tricky part is figuring out someone who can handle laning phase that can get fairly early.

I think that criteria is filled by, but his early game isn't that great at all with his lacking CC. I strongly believe any champion who doesn't have a way to mitigate { harassment cycle is going to be ineffective.

A strangely effective one I can think of is. I don't actually expect him to pull off 3 stacks, it's more just the fact that he has two pokes at his disposal to remove his shield. On top of that gives him a lot of survivability if he ever finds himself in a duel.
 * Speaking of, this ability also largely mitigates any tornado harassment he does. Again, the mini- harass is still too much, but at least he has an innate way of healing through that pathetic poke of.

While I don't really expect him to pull off 3 stacks, it most certainly is possible if ever tries dueling him. I like the fact that actually serves a limiter to attempt at dueling. Even if he escapes after getting 3 stacks of, that's less damage takes. I don't see any other tank with the ability to scare him off from dueling.
