How to play it

Dodge his Null Lance
His Q shields and silences: dodge the damage with your W if timed right, then trade once the shield is down.
All-in with ult up
You win every all-in while your ult is up: play longer trades and punish him after he Qs the wave.
Watch his mana
His Riftwalk costs more mana every cast, so early he's often mana-starved with no way out: pay attention to it.
Never commit without your ult up: you win all-ins with it, but without it he'll chase you down.
