Tips to maximize your impact

Grow the right plant
Cast your spells on Garden of Thorns (passive) seeds: Deadly Spines (Q) grows a Thorn Spitter that fires at 575 range, Grasping Roots (E) a Vine Lasher that slows.
Seed the path of your spell
Cast Grasping Roots (E), then right away place a seed in its path with Rampant Growth (W): the target is rooted, and the plant that grows hits them.
Enrage your plants
Cast Stranglethorns (R) on your plants in the middle of the fight: enemies are knocked into the air 2 seconds later, and your plants, renewed, gain health and damage.
Seed the brushes
Place seeds with Rampant Growth (W) in brushes and near objectives: a champion who steps on one is revealed, and you can grow a plant there.

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

Dodge his fireball
Dodge Ultra Mega Fire Kick (Q): it knocks you back, then explodes behind you and slows you.
Back off when the campfire's up
Back off when Cozy Campfire (W) follows his carry: they gain attack range and restore health over time.
Save a CC for after his R
If your team has several CC spells, save one for after Breath of Life (R): it cleanses disabling and immobilizing CC from his nearby allies.
Go for Milio first
If you can reach him, go for Milio first, especially away from his allies: he has no dash or leap, and without him, his carry loses shields, heals and range.
