How to play against Locke

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

In lane and in teamfights

1. Poke heavily at level 1 before he unlocks his mobility tools to establish an early health advantage.
2. Force trades immediately after he misses his Q to deny him the bonus burst damage from consuming marks.
3. Place vision over walls in the river to spot his roams, as his E allows him to bypass standard lane brush wards.
4. Base and heal before contesting neutral objectives to deny his missing-health passive damage and R execution threat.
5. Hold hard crowd control for the exact moment he commits his E teleport into your backline.

Where Locke is weak

Exploit these in draft and in lane.

• Locke's damage peaks against wounded targets and marked enemies, so entering fights healthy and disengaging before his execution window denies his burst.
• His E commits him into the backline and his W trades current health for delayed healing, so hard CC and focused burst can kill him before he escapes or recovers.
