How to beat Miss Fortune as Samira: the early game

Levels 1-2 lean Miss Fortune: her Double Up (Q) bounce and Love Tap passive punish you for standing near low minions, so respect her poke and farm carefully. Keep yourself off any line that runs through a low minion and her bounce has nothing to work with. Whirl swallows the Q if you time it to her cast. The slow field is her only way out of your combo, so draw it with a feint and dash on the second approach.
