Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1-2 are yours: you out-range Blitzcrank and hit 2 first, so poke with QW and W-EE from behind your caster minions where his Rocket Grab can't reach you. His lane is entirely gated on landing a Q — deny it and he's a stat-stick. Ward both lane bushes before minions meet so he has no fog to Flash-hook from, and never step into brush blind.
