How to play it

Dodge his barrels
Dodge his Powder Kegs with E (or W if E is down): a connected barrel is where his burst comes from.
All-in after 6
After 6, dodge his barrel then all-in: if he has ignite, wait for your Nashor's spike unless you've already poked him down.
Survive to 4
Let him push level 1 and sustain his poke until level 4, then start trading.
Never fight him at level 1: let him push and sustain until you can trade at 4.
