How to play it

Dodge his W return
Never let him proc his passive: avoid the second part of his W above all, even if it costs you some prio at level 2.
Punish his Q dash
When he Q's onto you you get a free E: E him and ult through him so your reveal tracks him; only fire E2 once he's dead or your E is about to expire.
Body-block the wave
Stand between him and the minions so from level 4 he has to fight you if he wants to farm.
Never underestimate his damage: he's meant to be behind, but if the lane goes even he can still fight back hard.
