How to play it

Don't eat his E
Don't let his E hit you: it's a free trade for him, especially if he's running Hail of Blades.
All-in on missed Q
When he whiffs his Q, all-in: that's your opening, especially into the tank build.
Space his Q
Use your E to space out his Qs so his Rupture can't catch you.
Never get Feasted: his R is the execute that ends you, so don't be low into it.
