How to play it

Dodge her W-E combo
Her main threat is her W shove into E: sidestep the W and you avoid the follow-up damage field.
Trade once you have items
As you get items you win trades: land your poison and dodge her W-E combo and she loses extended fights.
Space her Q range
Her Q outranges all your abilities (1000), so space outside it unless she overextends or is on worked ground.
Never force your ult on her: she faces whatever direction she's displaced toward, not where her Q points, so it slips off.
