How to play it
DO
Punish his E
Look to punish every E he throws — when he walks at you, hit E + Q and cancel the Q early to either land damage or stun-cancel his E completely.
Bully him early
He hard-outscales you, so make the early game hell — be as aggressive as you can and force damage before he comes online.
W start, max W
Start W and take 3 points in Q, then max W for the shield and sustain to weather his all-ins.
DON'T
Never try to 1v1 him in the side lane late — he hard-outscales you, so match him with your best waveclearer instead.
