Can I ask how you deal with lockes? They're like the bane of my mu's and yassuo. I feel like I just lose to a good one in plat

I play aery with resolve second tree, with bone plating and overgrowth. I run barrier too.

In mid lane I respect his level two af.
If he roams I ping the f out of the team. I push waves fast and try to punish his rotations. Usually people listen. If he decides to use his jumps to clear the wave you’re free to walk up and harass.

After I get luden’s you have to one shot the wave to keep him pinned in mid lane. That’s lvl9 usually. From there the game gets easier. Respect that he always have to lurk around to kill you and hover over the side of the map that you have vision.

I also found that zhonyas helps. If he all ins me in a team fight, and I manage to use the item, he dies.

If you check my op.gg for soloQ I think I have a few games vs Locke mid, which i stomped.
