How to play it

Dodge his Q
His Q is the single most important spell to always dodge in this matchup.
Hail of Blades window
If he takes Hail of Blades he's very killable early: but eating a Q costs your whole HP bar, so commit clean.
Track his ult
His ult is low-CD but he needs 6 casts on minions to stack: tracking that makes your all-ins far less stressful.
Never force a straight 1v1 once his stacking has taken over lategame: there's no hard CC on him to fall back on.
