How to play it
DO
Dodge his Q
His Q is rather easy to dodge — sidestep it and you can close the range he keeps between you.
Dive him at 7
Chain e-minion-q-champion-e trades; land them 2-3 times and by level 7 you can even dive him.
Play even, out-skirmish
Don't stress about a lead — go even, since sidelaning becomes a big problem for him and you win the skirmishes.
DON'T
Never over-roam and hand him your turrets — he's one of the fastest tower-takers in the game.
