How to play it

Save E for his ult
Don't burn E on his Q rock: you won't dodge it; hold E to avoid his ult.
Dodge his E
You can avoid his E (Ixtal's Impact) with good footwork as long as you see it coming first.
You can't kill him
Once he buys a single tank item you can't kill him, so focus on not feeding him.
Never W near him: his dash shuts you down and gives him a prime point to hold his ult.
