How to play it

Respect his level 2
If he holds W (Rake) and hits level 2 first, his all-in is deadly: auto the minions from the start so you spike level 2 before he does.
Level-2 trade
If he wastes W on minions, all-in him at level 2: you can destroy him in that trade.
Level-up trick
Start E at level 1 and W at level 2 to catch him off guard: E1 > E2 > auto > auto > W > auto is your early combo.
Never let him reach level 2 before you: auto the minions from the start or he lands the first big trade.
