How to play it

Dodge his taunt
Save your E to dodge his taunt in early lane: with ignite his level-2 all-in can kill you.
All-in after 6
After 6, if he taunts onto you with no jungler near, all-in him: you win hard.
Don't trade empowered Q
When his sword glows and he gains attack speed, don't trade: his empowered Q does a lot of damage.
Never trade into his empowered Q: the glowing sword and extra attack speed mean he wins it.
