How to play it

Don't die early
His Q poke is what kills you early: survive the early game and the lane is yours.
You outscale
If you don't die early, you win: play safe and let the lane come to you.
Steal his R
Taking his R gives you 60 seconds of ranged form, and you keep your empowered autos while in it.
Never take an early death: dying early is the only way you lose this lane.
