How to play it

Never eat her Q
Avoiding her Q is the entire lane: dodging it even lowers the stun if it clips you; getting hit clean loses the trade.
Watch her wall
She'll drop her W wall to trap you and land her Q: don't stand where the wall makes it unavoidable.
Rush T2 boots
Buy tier-2 boots ASAP to sidestep her damage; you can't win short trades early, so bait her Q under tower and wait for a gank.
Take short trades against her early: you can't win them.
