How to beat Zyra as Milio: the early game

You lose 1-2: Zyra's root and plants out-range and out-damage your kick, so give ground, E-shield the poke, and never eat her E line. Her root and her plants reach past your kick and out-damage your heals, so give ground and stop contesting. Keep the campfire behind your minions, hold the kick for the moment her root is spent, and shield your carry preemptively rather than after the plants have already fired.
