How to play it

Concede level 1
His level 1 is really strong: give CS and let the wave crash until you hit level 3.
Trade on his Q
Watch for him to use Q on the wave, then short-trade with W while it's down.
Dodge his ult
He wins the all-in pre-6, but dodge his ult at level 6 and it's a free kill.
Never go for an all-in before 6 unless he's low: he wins every all-in pre-6, so poke first.
