How to play it

His E slows your AS
His E slows your attack speed to shut the trade down, extend it instead: E him as he tries to run and reset your autos with Q while you're slowed.
Zone him pre-6
You win outright until 6: play super aggressive and zone him off the wave, and if he drops below 50% HP at level 2-3, take the dive angle.
Your trade combo
Open E, auto, QQ, W; once he stacks armor or Steelcaps, lead auto, QQ, E, W and back off on top.
Never overpush the wave without vision: getting collapsed on by his jungler is the one way you lose this lane.
