How to play it

Block his Q stun
His Q ramps to a stun as he chases: block it with your W and only trade when he wastes it on the wave.
Trade only on CDs
Only trade when he burns his Q or E on the minions, and keep it short: he's not killable if you're even and without Ignite.
Farm and roam
This is a survive-and-farm lane: sit back, hope your jungler comes, and roam once you have items.
Never full all-in him: 5+ short trades at most; he outright wins any commit if you're even and without Ignite.
