You're over exaggerating. Her Q doesn't take half your health at level 1, despite it being auto-targetted, it's not a very high-damaging spell.

It's the empowered autoattack she gets from her passive that hurts. She needs to get into auto-attacking range to hurt you. It's also easily indicated on her as bright blue colours would surround her persistently. So just keep away when that happens.

Anyway, since you're having trouble with her poke, I suggest getting the resolve path as your secondary runes and getting the MR rune.

If not, buy Mercury Threads or Mikael's Crucible, Locket of the Iron Solari, Athene's Unholy Grail. Those items are support items which grant MR.
