How to play it
DO
Dodge Q sweet spot
Always dodge the sweet spot of his Q — use your Q to dodge it, or he can kill you if he overchases.
Punish his combo
If he blows his full combo early, backstab with Q and an E for good damage.
Respect his passive
Don't trade while his passive is up — wait for him to spend it on a minion, then E him and repeat.
DON'T
Never trade into him while his passive is charged — wait for him to waste it on a minion first.
