How to play it

Dodge his Q
His Q (Decimating Smash) is a charged slam: sidestep the fully-charged knockup or interrupt the windup before it lands, since it's his only real setup on you.
Run him down
This is a hard-win counterpick: once his Q is committed he has no reset, so weave autos between your Qs and win the extended trade outright.
Q his Q
Use your own Q to trade back into his: space the sweet spot so you punish him while his slam whiffs.
Never eat a fully-charged Q knockup: it's the one window that lets an easy lane trade back into you.
