How to play it

Wall his Q
Keep minions between you and his Q (or Q-E): that's how he pokes you down at range.
Taunt at 2-3
Look for the taunt at level 2 or 3: land it at 3 and you win the all-in hard.
His hammer knock
After you taunt he'll knock you back with his hammer: if much healthier, kite between him and his tower so he can't disengage.
Never telegraph your taunt: throw it from the very edge of your range.
