How to beat Lulu as Senna: the early game

Levels 1-2 are Senna favor: Lulu is a peel enchanter with no lane threat, so your Q out-pokes her and your range zones her carry off farm. Grab the early tempo, deny CS, and start building souls while she can only shield and slow with Glitterlance. Her poke plus the familiar out-chips you early, so hold position and take the free wraiths instead. Heal your carry through it, hold the root for the moment her polymorph is spent, and let the range you accumulate rather than a poke war be what turns the lane.
