How to play it

Don't charge into Rupture
Never charge your Q while his Rupture is up: if you never eat it, this lane is basically impossible to lose.
Out-push and roam
He can't out-push you: hard-shove, then go bully mid or jungle with your teammates.
Don't over-roam
Look for roams, but never spend both ult AND TP on one unless it's a guaranteed double, or you fall behind on CS.
Charge your Q while his Rupture is up: that single mistake is how you lose this lane.
