Playing against K'Sante
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
1
Avoid standing near walls: his R pushes you through walls to isolate you.
2
In All Out mode (R), K'Sante is squishier but deals more damage — burst him quickly in that form.
3
His W is unstoppable but predictable (visible charge) — reposition laterally.
4
Punish him between Q stacks: if he doesn't have the 3rd Q, he has no knockup.
