How to play it
DO
Don't get W-rooted
Her Ring of Frost root is the one thing that beats you — stay spaced so she can't land it.
Trade and extend
Trade aggressively and extend every trade — you out-damage her outright and destroy her in lane.
Sidestep her Q
Dodge her Q — it's her main poke and easy to walk out of.
DON'T
Never walk into her W root — it's the only opening she gets on you.
