He's a hard-to-ignore tank with lots of CC, but a real threat only when he's meta: which is almost never.

How to play it

✓

Dodge his Q

His Q into R is his entire engage: dodge the Q and the combo falls apart.

✓

Punish his engage

In fights stay off your team until he engages with Q + R, then dive the enemy backline.

✓

Even items favor you

At equal item count you win the 1v1: and if you're ahead it isn't close.

Never clump tight with your teammates while his Q + R engage is up.
