Strategy Guide
What To Do
- -Smolder is an easy matchup top lane. Like Kayle, he wants to scale to 225 stacks - your job is to make that process as difficult as possible for him.
- -Contest/deny every stack of Q and be hyper aggressive from lvl 1. Deny exp, slow push and freeze when wave bounces back.
- -His E is his only way of escape, so when it is down or if you canceled it with E, you have 24 seconds to abuse him as hard as you can.
- -Do not let him scale for free and call jg for dive when possible - he is very vulnerable to ganks without a support.
- -Late game - if he somehow scaled up, prioritize landing Q on him - you can kill him easily if you do he will not be able to retaliate for 1.75 seconds
Level-by-Level
L1
He is extremely weak until he gets his stacks. Play extremely aggressively to deny his stacks so he cannot scale. Freeze when you have the opportunity to do so and fight him away from the wave and zone him from exp.
