How to play it
DO
Wait out his E
Never Q into him — save your Q and E for whenever his E runs out.
Box the dive
When he Qs onto you it's easy to trap him in a box; if he crashes a wave, a box to prevent the dive can get you the kill.
Boxes behind you
Place Jack in the Box behind you and get him to jump on them — clone-baiting him is usually easy.
DON'T
Never Q into him — save Deceive for the window when his E has run out.
