How to beat Miss Fortune as Tristana: the early game

Level 1-2 leans to Miss Fortune — her Double Up passive and higher base auto damage let her out-poke you before your jump comes online, so respect her early harass and don't greed CS into her Q window. Take the safe farm and wait for level 3. Her base damage beats yours before your jump comes online, so respect the poke and take the safe minions. Never share a line with a low creep. Stack the bomb from range and detonate on her walk-up, and keep the jump for escape until your support can hold her in place.
