How to play it
DO
Dodge his E-Q combo
His E-Q flag-and-drag is the knock-up that starts every kill — dash it with your E.
Counter-gank him
Counter-ganking can lose him the game — you're his worst enemy after mid-game, so track and punish his ganks.
E out of his ult
Save your E to exit his R — the dash escapes his Cataclysm arena, so don't blow it early.
DON'T
Never take an even 1v1 — at the same item count he wins.
