People make the mistake of running away from him when he places himself in stick-in-the-butt mode, run towards him instead, and move violently to the side as soon as you see the line for his Q; after that, just circle him while autoattacking and he'll never hit you. As long as you keep moving, he'll have a hard time landing his utl, and the closer you are to him, the easier it is to dodge his Q.

That's one of the reasons they gave him a speed boost after cancelling Locus of Power; he's too vulnerable if a melee gets in range.
