How to play it
DO
Bait his E
Respect his E at level 1 since he stat-checks you — from level 3, short-trade to bait it, and if you dodge it you run him down.
Short trade from 3
From level 3, short-trade and bait his E — dodge it and run him down, and even if it hits you still win the all-in with an HP lead.
Freeze the lane
Keep it frozen — he can't walk up to you, so you just stat-check him and call ganks since he's easily abusable.
DON'T
Never fire your E while he's using his E — it cancels yours; wait and grab him the instant he jumps.
