How to play it

Avoid his tongue
Don't get licked: his Q slows and heals him, then he dives onto you to combo; stay inside the minion wave so it can't reach.
Force the lvl 2 all-in
His level-1 damage matches yours, so don't play early: get the minion lead for level 2, then force a trade and win it.
Max fish = stun
His autos stack his passive; at max fish stacks he can stun you with Q and then eat you with R, so back off before it fills.
Never try to make a play at level 1: his damage matches yours and there's nothing to gain, so wait for your level-2 spike.
