Camille is a highly damaging, physical damage robot assassin-fighter champion. She's mobile and brings a fair amount of crowd control in the form of knock ups, slows and the ability to anchor enemies to an area with her ultimate. Even with all of these features, she is still more or less another mobile assassin champion, and thus, shares many of their weaknesses. Weaknesses we'll learn to exploit today.

You can stay out of her range, and crush her from outside her ability range, and when you land enough poke, jump in and punish her for having low health. He can also peel her off of him.
Garen
His damage isn't prevented by being anchored to an area, if she tries to take advantage of the extra damage he takes from her autos, she has to stand in his Judgment, and in his ult range. He can also stave off the extra damage with his W.
Illaoi
If she jumps on Illaoi, Illaoi is going to hurt her very badly. Pulling her soul out, then ulting, and then continually slamming her with tentacles.
