How to play it
DO
Dodge his Q chain
Dodge into his Q1 and Q2, then either double-W the Q3 or walk straight out of it — Q3 is his guaranteed damage.
Bait his E
by dodging toward him after his Q1 — once he burns it you can commit; if he holds it, save your empowered W for the Q3.
Never run diagonal
If his W chains you, don't run diagonally — walk straight to the side, or cleanse and run straight away from him.
DON'T
Never fight him inside his R — he'll likely outheal you, so disengage with your own ult instead.
