Lolol, I guess none of us were helpful then. The last time I 1 v 2'd a lane with her, I was stuck against a Mordekaiser and a Yorick (post-buffs). We had a leaver. It was really really tough. I did my best to last hit minions, but I never went for ones that would leave me too vulnerable to getting ganged up on by the enemies. I tried sticking traps in the bushes when I could. The Mordekaiser pretty much didn't care about the damage from them, so he just walked all over them, but at least it revealed him so I knew he was there. Once they pushed the minions close enough to the turret for me to safely attack minions from a melee distance, I would switch to cougar and burst the minions down. I had to be extra wary of the Mordekaiser since he could easily ignore tower damage and dive me. I kept traps in the little jungle pathway that goes behind the first turret because the other team also had a Fiddlesticks who could easily gank me from there. There were a few times where they got careless and kept playing aggressively while they were at low health, and I made them pay for it with some kill shot spears, but they learned quickly to be more careful about that. Unfortunately, my allies lost the other two lanes, and then the whole enemy team showed up in mine. I died, the tower went down, and from there the game was just lost. If I'd had a full team, I probably could've gotten an ally to come gank my lane or something, but 4 v 5 is just tough.

When I share a lane with someone, I do some light jungling now and then to get some extra money. In the middle lane the bushes are far enough away that it's hard to gank from them unless the person getting ganked is pushing the tower really hard, so I just never move far enough out to get ganked unless I know the locations of all the enemies who could possibly gank me. I'm more afraid of getting ganked from the little jungle passages between the river and your turret, so I stick traps in there.

Hope that helps. Honestly, I hate soloing top because every time I've had to it's been because there's a leaver, and I get stuck against strong laning champs like Mordekaiser+Yorick, Heimerdinger+Janna, and Morgana+Miss Fortune. :\ (Although the Morgana+Miss Fortune wasn't nearly as bad as the other two)
