How to play it

Mind your spacing
Don't stand next to your minions early: he can melee Q onto you there and hard punish you.
Armguard wins lane
Beat him in early trades and rush Armguard: you should win the level 6 all-in pretty easily.
No rush on Hexcore
He has no strong early shove unless he burns every spell, so you don't need an early Hexcore rush.
Skip the early Armguard: that item is what wins you this lane.
