Playing against Gwen
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
1
Her W doesn't protect her from attacks inside the zone: step into her mist to fight her.
2
Gwen is weak in early game (levels 1-4) — punish her before she gets her stacks and first item.
3
Grievous Wounds reduces her Q sustain (true damage + heal), which is her main survivability.
4
She's better in 1v1s and split pushing — force teamfights where she's less effective.
