How to play it

Bait his E
Counter Strike (E) dodges your autos and hits back: auto him until he pops it, then stop attacking and E out so it whiffs. Eat two E's in one all-in and you lose the fight.
Kill before 6
With his E down he can't fight back: that's your all-in window. Hit 6 before him and dive, ideally with jungle, before he scales out of reach.
Make him jump
Past level 2, don't E in to start a trade: he'll follow your dash with Leap Strike (Q). Force him to jump onto you, then auto and spin out.
Never all-in while his Counter Strike is up: if he lands two E's in the fight, you lose it.
