How to play it

Bait out his Q
The lane is one-dimensional: while he holds Q you can't trade, engage only once Bear Trap whiffs or is spent.
Outscale with armor
Once you have items and some armor you stat-check him even in the side lane, so long as you're even.
Ask for early ganks
He's hard to kill early with combat summoners, so hold the wave on your side and ask for ganks.
Never trade while Kled still has Bear Trap up: wait for him to whiff or use his Q first.
