Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1 is skill-even before he stacks turrets: you can look to trade or CS freely while he only has one turret down. Level 2 briefly favors you as your Phosphorus Bomb plus autos out-damage a single turret and his early kit, so punish him before the turret wall goes up, but respect his grenade stun and don't over-extend into a support-CC setup.
