Champion Build Guide
What I do most the time against melee matchups is I take Q. This is because when they walk up for a CS I can auto Q auto them while they last hit the minion. Sometimes, I will auto-Q and back away and they will chase into me to try and trade back, this is when you go for your elec proc with the third auto. Remember that your Q takes 30% armor off your opponent and most players don't know this. We hard win level 1 in these scenarios.
My goal in 90% of melee matchups is to look for level 2 first. This is the first wave and one melee minion. Just auto attack minions faster than your opponent, but not so much faster that you shove the wave in. We want to be able to trade right at level 2.
The second we hit level 2, take your E (or Q if started E) and E-auto-Q instantly and back away. You'll chunk for massive damage. Once elec comes up again, normally one more E-auto-Q ignite and maybe one more auto should kill.
If we don't hit level 2 first, wait until they use their main damaging skill or gap closer to trade. Once we are level 3 we can E-auto-Q and W away for safe trading. Just know without clone you need to play safe for that 18 or so seconds. Moreso, in melee matchups we generally don't need to W out unless we are outplaying and baiting them to trade into us so we can all in. Normally, hold on to it for all ins.
Similarly, if we hit level 2 first and they have no CC, E-auto-Q back away. This will deal so much damage they will respect you more and allow you to farm more in fear of the combo.
Level 6 is where we strive in ranged matchups. Let them push you under tower, wait or bait their cc, then E-auto-W-auto-Q-R-auto/Q-R with ignite. This should kill.
