How to play it

Block his R burst
Collateral Damage (R) is his kill burst: block it with your W, or dodge the line.
Play the minion wave
Stand behind creeps and keep moving when he trades: his autos pierce minions, so a static screen won't fully save you.
Don't whiff your E
Only use E after he's used his, or when you'll surely land it: miss it and he runs you down.
Never miss your E into him: whiff it and he chases you down with no way to fight back.
