How to play it

Wait out his ult
Under his ult (Fury of the Sands) he 1v1s you far more easily: wait it out before you commit.
Abuse him early
Your kill window is pre-6: trade level 1, challenge every CS, freeze, or call your jungler for a dive.
Roam once he stacks
He outscales you over time: once you can't stop him stacking, prioritize roaming and 5v4 the map.
Never let him free-farm and stack unpunished: abuse him early or roam for value elsewhere.
