How to play it

Dodge his E
Every E stacks his passive toward overheat: avoid it, because once it's full he pops it and runs you down.
Trade from level 3
Play wave and prio to hit level 3 first, then get aggressive: W into his Q and trade back with your Q, kiting out with E slow.
Kite his overheat
When his passive fills he deletes you with autos like a Sion passive: always be ready to kite it out with your E.
Never get close without Flash or Exhaust when his Flash and passive are both up: he'll run you down.
