it's honestly easy as hell to dodge saplings. You don't need to outrun them, you just need to make sure minions are closer to them when they start chasing something, which is around half a second after they land, plenty of time for you to get the hell away from the minions you were right next to because you knew what the hell you were doing. If you follow this rule you'll only get hit when he either makes a mistake or you get snared by him, which means he's closed the gap between you. Which he won't do, because his saplings have been pushing the lane the whole time.
