How to play it

Don't trade
into his damage: you'll lose the trades, so sidestep his poke and just farm.
Outscale him
There's no rush: late game you melt him, so farm safely and win on scaling.
Only fight super early
Trades only favor you in the very early game: once he has Tabis + Bramble there's nothing you can do.
Never try to trade with him: you'll lose it, and after his armor items there's no coming back in lane.
