How to play it

✓

Beat his 3 stacks

Disengage before he stacks you 3 times: block his Q (Tongue Lash) with your W so it can't land the follow-up.

✓

All-in at 6

At level 6 the all-in is easy: with stacks up he has no laning ultimate to answer or turn it.

✓

Short trades

Take short trades to get him low, and disengage before his stacks come online; a CP/Doran's start suits the lane.

✕

Never sit in a trade long enough for him to reach 3 stacks: disengage before that follow-up.
