How to play it

Dodge his Equalizer
Get caught in his Equalizer and his Q roasts you for a huge chunk: never fight while you're standing in it.
Outscale to items
You outscale him: reach your protobelt without falling behind and you start to beat him, with six giving your first real all-in.
Max Q, play far back
Max Q and farm from far back: you lose trades and early all-ins, and he ignores your Q poke with his shield.
Never fight him early or stand in his Equalizer: you lose the trade outright and his Q torches you.
