How to beat Lillia as Dr. Mundo: the early game

Lillia owns levels 1-2: her Blooming Blows (Q) out-ranges everything you have and every hit gives her speed to stay out of your Q Infected Bonesaw range, so she pokes your green health bar for free. Don't force trades — just farm, hug the minion wave to deny her poke angles, and accept you'll be down some HP.
