How to play it

Dodge his bind
Sidestep his Shocking Orb (E): dodge the bind and you can force his Flash.
Shove and roam
He deals no damage: shove him in and roam to make plays elsewhere.
Don't fear death
You won't die here: just farm and push the lane.
Never play passive out of respect for his damage: he can't kill you.
