How to play it

✓

Dodge his E pull

Dodge his E: you should never get hit by his W as long as you sidestep the E pull first.

✓

All-in when he's low

Post-6 you can all-in when he's low, and before that you can repeat short trades as long as you dodge his E.

✓

W his Q, dance around

Use W to negate his Q damage, then E and Q around him to dodge everything else: but do mind his Q poke.

✕

Never get hit by his E: the pull is the setup for his W and his whole kill threat, so dodging it takes both off the table.
