How to play it

Dodge her E
Do not let her land a great E: dodge it even if you have to flash it, it sets up everything.
Win levels 1-2
You're stronger early: hard push and fight her before your creeps get low; with ignite you should destroy her at level 2.
Ping-pong lane
You each get short alternating windows: abuse yours and don't play in her strength.
Never get frozen: don't let her under tower without a real advantage or the lane snowballs against you.
