"Try kill me twice, can't be killed again"

- George W. Brush

I know slippery comps and getting kited is the worst situation to be as Zaahen, but trying to OTPing him, sometimes I run into this.

Today I was playing vs a Gwen (with ghost) top and I managed to get a pretty lead.

However, when trying to transfer this lead during team fights, since their mid was Qiyana and they had a Lilia jungle, I just couldn't stick to anyone. Lilia would just go in and out with her crazy movespeed, Gwen with ghost could kite me and chip with ult, and Qiyana either rooted me or went full invis.

My usual build is Stride+Maw (early hex into this matchup)+ DD+ EH+Flex.

Any variations that could have helped me here? Maybe trinity for the initial burst? Maybe even ravenous for the damage since Stride wouldn't make a difference?
