How to play it

✓

Dodge her E

Once she has E, hide behind your wave and start trades through minions while she farms: eating her E loses you the trade.

✓

All-in level 2-3

Slowpush and look for the level-2 all-in, then aim to kill her at level 3 and create a freeze after your first recall.

✓

Trade level 1

Trade at level 1 with empowered Q's, then set up the slowpush so you hit level 2 first for the all-in.

✕

Never let her shove you under your own tower: from there you can't win a trade unless you dodge every single E, which isn't realistic.
