How to play it

Bait his Q
His Q is his gap-closer and his dodge: hold your key abilities until he's burnt it, then commit.
Punish under tower
While his Q is active, jump back under your tower to force him to eat a turret shot.
Ignite his heal
Ignite him to cut the healing and damage reduction he gets from his W.
Never blow your important damage into his active Q: he'll just dodge it and get away.
