How to play it
DO
Dodge his Timewinder
From level 7 his combo oneshots you — dodge his Timewinder poke and don't feed him free trades.
All-in his E trade
When he E-trades he's predictable — if he doesn't proc his passive on you, he's all-inable; hold E2 for when he ults back.
Level-1 Hail of Blades
His level-1 Hail of Blades trade is his best window for lane control — consider Bone Plating and don't take too much damage.
DON'T
Never let him Q the wave for free — fight him while he's trying to CS, just like against Ahri.
