How to play it

Sidestep his Q
Dodging his Q is basically the whole matchup: it has an execute, so top up on potions and never eat it low.
Ult his E
After 6, ult when he uses E or when it's on cooldown: that's your window, and you outscale him long-term.
W his gap-close
W his Q as he dashes in, land your burst before his shield comes up, then get out.
Never walk into his Q: the matchup is basically whether you can dodge it, and it executes you low.
