How to play it
DO
Dodge his Qs
Dodge his Q and look for Grasp auto trades pre-6 while he's stuck last-hitting.
Kill pressure off Q
You have permanent kill pressure when he has no minions to dash away from your Q.
Ult his Q3
Ult him as he winds up his knock-up Q3 — his R can't follow, so it wastes his engage.
DON'T
Never commit to him while he still has minions to Sweeping-Blade away — your kill pressure only exists when the wave is gone.
