How to play it

Wait out his stun
His aoe stun is his kill setup: wait it out and never fight into it.
Commit stun-down
Your only window is after he's burned his stun: before that, don't commit.
Save E for his jump
If you're close to him, hold your E to dash out of stun range right after he jumps onto you.
Never jump onto someone else while his stun is up: he'll jump on you the second you commit.
