Kled owns levels 1-2 and beyond: his mounted health bar and W Violent Tendencies let him out-trade you in any extended fight, and his Q can root you from range. Don't walk up — last-hit safe, dodge the Bear Trap, and keep Sweeping Blade for escape. He wants to Q-pull you and ride in for a guaranteed kill.
