How to play it

Dodge his Q3
His third Q is the knockup that starts his combo: dodge the first Q to the side, the second from the inside, or block Q3 with your W.
E him mid-Q
He's immobile while casting Q, so land your E on him and all-in: he can't dash out of it once you're on him.
Q out of his W
Use your Q to dash out of his W chain-field before it drags you back: but don't burn Q with nothing to dash to.
Never fight him without your minion wave: his passive damage, regeneration, and 1v2 gank potential punish any solo coinflip.
