How to play it

Her ult dodges burst
Divine Judgment can wipe your stacked Q or R3: bait it out or Zhonya's through it.
Kill her before 6
Set up a freeze and call your jungler, or slowpush and dive her before she hits 6.
Short-trade level 1
She wins hard at level 1: only take quick trades until you have more levels.
Never take an extended trade at level 1: she wins that hard.
