How to play it

✓

Respect his empowered Q

His empowered Q (Transfusion) is his heal and poke: don't trade into it while it's charged.

✓

Trade when Q is spent

The instant he uses his empowered Q on minions, go for a heavy trade: his sustain is down and you win the exchange.

✓

You win the level-9 spike

Take Ignite to cut his healing: at level 9 you both powerspike, but you're the stronger one, so look for the fight there.

✕

Never trade into his empowered Q while it's charged: that's his heal and poke; wait for him to spend it on the wave, then all-in.
