How to play it

Dodge his Q
The amount of Qs you dodge basically determines the lane: stay behind minions so he must Q through them.
All-in on Sheen
You can't engage until Bramble and Sheen: first back Bramble, second back buy Sheen and all-in.
Cut his healing
Buy Grievous Wounds in this lane or Aatrox regens forever off his passive.
Never engage before you have Bramble and Sheen: you cannot trade with him early.
