How to play it

Dodge his Q
with E or W: a whiffed Rupture is a free flash or a kill for you.
All-in after 6
Hit 6, let the wave push into you, then all-in: you win hard, and Nashor's lets you 1v1 him even when behind.
Trade only with Q
Before 6 he out-sustains you, so only trade with Q and farm until your ult.
Never sit in a drawn-out trade before 6: his sustain wins it; poke with Q and wait for your ult.
