How to play it

Dodge his poke
Play him exactly like Lux, Morgana or Xerath: a long-range poke mage, so keep dodging his skillshots.
Step up when he whiffs
Same as those poke mages: weather the poke, then take your turn once he's spent his skillshots.
No special prep
There's nothing matchup-specific to learn here: the exact gameplan you run against Lux, Morgana and Xerath applies.
Never treat him as anything other than a poke mage: walking into his skillshots the way you would a melee is how you lose.
