How to play it
DO
Don't get engaged
If he engages first with his R you die — he now has multiple spins, so never get caught out of position.
Engage first
You must land your Q on him first — going in first chunks him before his passive armor stacks and forces out his R.
Scale with stacks
Don't fight before 6 — with Sunderer and stacks it's winnable, so don't fall behind on early kills.
DON'T
Never fight him before level 6 — and even then not before the 12-minute mark without an item lead.
