How to play it

Dodge his cannon E-Q
While his weapon is in cannon form, sidestep the E-Q combo: that poke is how he beats you.
All-in on his cooldowns
Commit once he's used an ability or two; even his hammer E can't knock him out of your Q range.
Survive the poke
Doran's Shield and Second Wind let you eat his poke: play the wave since minions block it (splash still hits).
Let him poke you out: without constant pressure this lane slips away.
