[COLOR="#cc8899"]Thanks for the post Will. A lot of that was the baseline information that I expected, but it's good to know that I was on the right track. I'm mostly working on perfecting my E bounces, especially in conjunction with Q to quickly skip it past caster minions onto an enemy champion. I've gotten it to work a handful of times and it's pretty satisfying when it works, even more so than comboing someone to death.
Next in line is working on saving up minion stacks to save myself from skillshots like Morgana's snare - a bit trickier, but important to his dueling/gank survival, I think.
Last hitting, of course, is always important too, especially without blue buff.
I'll try out Q first and avoid E'ing minions unless I'm harassing until lv 3 or so, as well as the minion prep on the fountain that you mentioned - I honestly had not thought of that. He seems really solid in a level 1 teamfight as a result of the free pet + AOE nuke/CC.
Overall I feel like he's got a lot of room for skilled/experienced players to seperate themselves from the players who use him solely for his ult. That's why I'm interested in him - I enjoy champions with good CC (AOE silence, 2.5 second suppress) and his kit leaves lots of room for strategy. He's also pretty rare to see, so if I can do well with him I can feel good about not using one of the same 3 mids that I tend to see every game (Ahri, Zyra, Morgana).[/COLOR]
