How to play it

Never eat his W
The whole matchup is spacing his Qs and never getting caught by his W: that pull is what sets up his combo.
E after his dash
After he uses E, he's stationary casting Q: that's a guaranteed E grab for you.
W dodges his Q2
Space his Qs and W into him to dodge the second Q.
Never facecheck into his W: being chained lets him land his full Q combo on you.
