How to play it

Respect his R
His R is the main threat: level 6 is a huge powerspike where his W-R-Q can chunk or kill you, so don't fight it head-on.
Punish a missed W
Before 6, if he misses the outward or the return hit of his W, you can freely W onto him and win the trade.
Dodge his W
Most of his damage comes from his passive: dodging at least half his W denies it; if W lands he Qs on and procs it for big damage.
Never let his W land into a Q: it procs his passive for massive damage.
