How to play it

Cancel his Q
Use your E2 to cancel his Q: his charged knockup is his one trade threat, so interrupt it before you commit.
Trade on the cancel
When you want to trade, E2-cancel his Q first: that's your opening in an otherwise slow lane.
Just farm
It's a boring lane: farm up safely and don't force what isn't there.
Don't commit to a trade without E2 up to cancel his Q: that knockup is his whole kill threat.
