How to play it
DO
Dodge his Disdain
His E chunks about half your HP — start E level 1, never E into him, and hold your E to dodge his E.
Trade Q then out
Always trade with just Q, then E out — hold the fight any longer and you lose it.
Play for teamfights
Once he has Black Cleaver you lose the 1v1, so look for 5v5 plays instead.
DON'T
Never use your E to dash into him — hold it every time to dodge his E, or you lose half your HP.
