How to play it

Respect his 6 all-in
His R at 6 drags you into his realm: you can still win it, especially if you E his abilities.
Poke pre-6
Start Q level 1, stack it, and poke: he is weaker than you before 6, so take priority.
Short trades only
Take only short trades, don't tank his passive for free, and never dump stacked Q or R2/R3 into his shield.
Use your W before he has ulted: it will not follow you into his realm.
