Master Tier Analysis

Your Win Condition

You must secure the extended trade. Your goal is to gain full control of the wave throughout the lane. Rushing Ravenous Hydra helps you ignore his damage.

General Strategy

Use D-Blade. Run Ghost and Flash, or TP and Ghost if the enemy team has mostly melee champions running towards you. Do not go for a big level one all-in; he is an 'unkillable brick wall'. You need to play for good tempo recalls.

Trading Patterns

He wants short trades; you need long trades. Get a level two versus one advantage if possible. If you all-in him, be careful, as he can cut you out with his high mobility (W/ultimate). Always try to use your ultimate on his W.

Wave Management

You want to get priority early. A two-wave crash into a proxy can be a great strategy if you know where the enemy jungler is. Rush level three before him. Crash wave two, quickly crash wave three, and then crash wave four for a recall.

Their Win Condition

K'Sante wins by utilizing short trades. He can also win by utilizing his mobility and recently released kit to 'cut you out' of the fight, preventing the extended trade.
