How to Counter Dun — The Hook, The Shield, and The Engage

Dun does exactly one thing: hook someone, knock them up, and hope his team follows up. His entire value in a teamfight is that hook. If he lands it on your carry, you lose the fight. If he misses it or hooks the wrong target, he's a walking HP bar with no impact.

Countering Dun is about three things: dodging the hook, punishing the miss, and not letting him engage on your carries.

Dun's hook has a distinctive wind-up animation — he pulls his arm back for about 0.3 seconds before throwing. If you're watching for it, you can dodge it on reaction.

Tips for dodging:
• Walk perpendicular to Dun, not away from him. The hook is a straight line. Moving sideways makes it miss.
• If you have a dash, save it for the hook. Don't dash aggressively when Dun has hook up.
• Stand behind minions. The hook hits the first target. Minions are your shield.
• In teamfights, don't clump up. If Dun hooks one person, that's bad. If he hooks three, the game is over.

Dun's hook has a ~12 second cooldown at rank 1. When he misses, you have 12 seconds where he is just a meatball. This is your window to:

• Poke him down. He has no way to engage on you without the hook.
• Engage on his backline. He can't peel without the hook.
• Take an objective. He can't contest without the hook.

Good Dun players will hold their hook until they have a guaranteed hit. Bad Dun players will throw it on cooldown. If the enemy Dun is throwing hooks every 12 seconds and missing, he's a bad Dun player. Punish him.
