Tips to maximize your impact

Don't run too early at low health
Don't run too early at low health: Berserker Rage (passive) gives you attack speed and life steal based on your missing health.
Pick up your axe
Throw Undertow (Q) close to you or just behind your target, then pick up the axe: its cooldown is reduced, or fully refunded if you pick it up late enough.
Reckless Swing between autos
Weave Reckless Swing (E) between your autos: its true damage ignores resistances, and each auto lowers its cooldown by 1 second.
Ragnarok as you charge their carry
Cast Ragnarok (R) as you charge their carry: you're freed from all CC, nothing stops you anymore, and each hit on a champion extends the effect.

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

Dodge his axe
Dodge Undertow (Q): it's his only slow, and without a dash, he can only reach you on foot.
Trade while his axe is away
Take a trade when his axe has landed far from him: until he picks it up, Undertow (Q) keeps its 9-second cooldown.
No long trades when he's low
Avoid long trades when he's low on health: Berserker Rage (passive) gives him attack speed and life steal based on his missing health.
Save your CC for after Ragnarok
If you have CC, save it for after Ragnarok (R): while it lasts, no CC stops him, and it has a 100 to 80 second cooldown.
