You are insanely dependent on auto attacks ranged top laners are going to be difficult for you because of a lack of an easy gap closer. also because of this youre also venerable to cc and items like thornmail and any other items that build off of wardens mail. you are difficult to build aginst because you do a lot of mixed damage and most people cant think for themselves when buying items so they dont build to counter your specific damage. you are also still a tank so tank shredders can be an issue if you cant stun or eat them in time. mobile champs are also an issue because youre optimal combo relys on a sill shot that is useless if it dosent hit.

try to doge it. if its a point and click you just have to hope you can survive long enough to pop youre e or stun/eat them. if youre in a fight with 2 or more stuns leave. stuns prevent you doing anything and a quicksilver sash isnt as usefull to you

Most of the damage of this build comes from the passive aquired taste. the best way to build stacks on an opponent is to slap them with your tongue as fast as possible. after you have all 3 stacks on your opponent your q stuns them and you are able to eat them as well as doing extra magic damage to them. the reason you start with dorans shield is to make up for your lack of early sustain. the same reasoning goes for second wind. until you get your e at level 3 you dont have a lot of regen to make risky plays and live.

You can all in at levl 1 aginst most champs. After you get your stacks on them q them for the stun then slap them to death. this works best before the minion waves but if they are leashing or just being a coward and waiting under tower make sure to hit them as theyre getting cs. if you can get 2 hits in go in and make sure youre in a position where minions wont block youre q so you can get youre stun.

Youre insanely tanky remember that. Between doran's shield and second wind you have a lot if in fight sustain early on. try to not use youre health potion unless youre super low or youre ganked.

if you get ganked focus youre laner stun them, auto them while theyre stunned, then eat them and begin to auto the the ganker. by this time youre q should be back up so you can get another stun then depending on the situation you can pop you can stay and pop youre e when youre low or just escape and get the regen from the passive on youre e.

make sure to roam after you get kills. once you get youre spirit visage youre sustain is majorly increased so you can normaly roam mid or help youre jungler if theyre in a pinch.

because youre in a solo lane youre ult can ne used as a way to get to lane faster. almost like a second teleport. youre ult is also usefull if youre ganking an want to pop up on an unsuspecting enemy who is pushed or if youre oposing laner is split pushing and youre in range to pop up behind them.

if you lost lane or are losing over all you can always split push. demolish along with youre obscene amount of health and attack speed makes you a tower taking menace. to maximize youre minions you can use youre tongue lash and devour to clear waves between autos that way you can live longer while you hit the tower. remember the golden rule of split pushing youre life for the turret. youre innate tankyness will allow you to stay long enough to proc youre demolish on the tower even if an enemy is attacking you. Its also not all that hard to escape with youre life between youre e and the slow on youre q.

if the enemy team is occupied and their nexus is open grab an ad based ally and ult into base to take out the nexus. or you can tp/ult in alone to chunk it down as much as possible. the advantage to youre attack speed based build means you can do a decent amount of damage to inhibitors and the nexus alone. keep in mind like with any backdoor get youre team to distract while you back door that way youre opponents are torn between killing youre team in a 4v5 and losing an objective/the game.

you build health not armor so percent health does hurt a bit. armor penetration, letahity, true damage isnt as impact-full to you but burst damage hurts a lot. if your opponent has electrocute play safe but dont be afraid to take risks after lvl 3. even if youre opponent comes out on top you have a lot of regen and 2 teleport spells if you need them
