Playstyle

You’re operating as a tempo-control support: win lane by creating threat windows with E zoning and W displacement, then convert that pressure into roam KPIs (mid ganks, river control, objective setup). Lane plan: poke + posture with Q, hold E to deny engages/dashes, and only commit W→E when you’ve got a clear angle (no minion/body-block risk). Wave & roam: once the wave is stable, rotate first—your passive movement + terrain play lets you show up early and force numbers advantages. Teamfight role: you’re a pick engine + chokepoint controller. Use E to “turn off” dash paths, W to isolate a target, and R to segment fights / cut escapes for clean conversions.

When to Pick

This build spikes when your draft wants playmaking + AP threat + map acceleration from support. Pick it when: Enemy bot lane is immobile or relies on dash/engage patterns you can punish with E zoning. Your ADC can follow CC instantly (e.g., burst/trap/skillshot follow-up) and you want to play for lane priority into roams. Your comp needs objective control and chokepoint leverage (dragons, baron setups, river fights). Avoid / de-prioritize when: You’re into extreme long-range poke that denies your setup angles, or Your team already lacks frontline and you’d be forced into low-margin face-checking.
