How to play it

Dodge his W
Path Maker has a long, telegraphed windup: you can W it, but it's better to not get hit at all.
Win the early all-ins
You can win every all-in early as long as you dodge his Q3 knockup; you can even Q him when he throws Q3.
Save your cooldowns
Don't let him ult you with your cooldowns down: save burst even while you tank his hits, ult+Ignite alone often isn't enough.
Never let him ult you while your cooldowns are down: that's when he kills you.
