How to play it

Respect his Wither
Don't walk up without Stormraider's Surge: he can Wither you, and with Sheen at 6 he'll run you down.
Punish under tower
Shove waves and poke him under turret: post level 4 with two points in Q it's brutal for him.
Deny his healing
If he's healing too much, let the wave push to you so he can't farm his passive off minions.
Never keep forcing the 1v1 late: he outscales you, so push the sidelane and rotate to teamfights.
