How to play it

Avoid her Q tip
Don't get clipped by the tip of her Q: only the tip slows you, and that slow is what makes her all-in stick.
Level 6 spike
At level six she gains two damaging gap closers and the lane becomes incredibly difficult: respect her all-in.
Watch her energy
Watch her resource bar closely: it tells you when she has the energy to commit an all-in.
Never commit to a fight once she has her ultimate up: that's when her all-in turns lethal.
