MaokaiExtremeYou counter everything she does. Your E keeps her from bushes, your W dodges her, and your CC out sustains her.

MilioMajorYour ultimate cleanses her stunlock and your Q cancels her linear E. Out sustain and peel, staying safe from her all in.

BlitzcrankMajorCancel her E with your Q and hook her out of position. Punish her whenever her engage is on cooldown.

JannaMajorOutpoke her and cancel her ultimate channel with your own. Bait her Q, then disengage and shield your carry.
