DO
Gold card + gank
Don't get caught by his Pick a Card while his jungler is nearby — trade into that setup and the game is over.

Play safe and roam
Play safe, shove the wave and roam — don't sit in lane taking risky trades.
DON'T
Never trade with him while his jungler is nearby — that's the fight that loses you the game.
