How to play it

Dodge his grenade
If he throws his grenade and misses, that's your all-in signal: unless he has a good turret setup and his ult prepared.
W/E in, Q out
Quickly W or E in, auto-Q out with the Electrocute proc, and whittle him down until you can commit to the all-in.
Farm and gank
Worst case, chill and farm under tower and set up a jungle gank with your R: you don't have to win lane.
Never all-in him into a full turret setup with his ult up: dodge the grenade and pick your window instead.
