How to play it

Ignite before his R
Make sure to Ignite him before he Rs: don't let his R come online in the middle of your all-in.
Pull him at 6
From 6, use your R to pull him out of his flight (E) to lock the escape, then all-in: Ignite first.
Trade from 3
Play safe and stay healthy levels 1-2, then start forcing heavy trades at level 3.
Never commit to a kill without Ignite ready: he'll R out and survive it.
