How to play it

Respect his ult
His R can one-shot you lategame or let him carry the fight off one jump: never be caught out of position.
Dodge the poke
When he lands his Q, move to the opposite side to slip his comet and deny most of his poke.
Stay above 70%
Keep your HP high and just free farm: a perma-stun combo can one-shot you, especially if he's AP, so scale from safety.
Never let him catch you out of position lategame: one ult can one-shot you and win the fight alone.
