How to play it
DO
Dodge his Q
Everything he does starts with Q — sidestep the Sonic Wave and he can't dash in, which is how you survive his lvl 6-9 spike.
Fight in your wave
Take the 1v1 standing inside your own minions and you win it outright — don't chase him off the wave.
His E is gutted
He maxes E, but it was nerfed long ago and he runs no Dirk — it won't oneshot your wave, so he can't shove and roam on you.
DON'T
Never hand him free kills through your jungler or mid — a gank he wins off you is the only way he keeps pace.
