My ban lately.
Bone plating in runes is crucial here.
Keep in my that he has two ways of dodging your Q, by his W and his E.
He reaches huge powerspike by lvl 6 so be aware of that.
Other than that it's just a very diffcult matchup so don't worry, I struggle with him too :)
Vayne
PLAY SORCERY WITH NIMBUS CLOAK.
BUSHES ARE YOUR FRIEND.
Play around them, farm safely.
Don't get poked too much as you will get doved.
It's totally okay to lose some minions, but it's important to get exp!
If u have managed to pull her, walk behind her immediatly, so she will E you into lane, and not your tower.
It's okay to ult early in this matchup.
If you struggle vs her buy Wardens mail and/or wait for your jungler.
Aatrox
Pure Skill matchup.
If he ever tries to poke you with Q under your tower just pull him in.
This works especially well with his Q2, just pull him in as he takes tower shots and run him down.
Most of the time you win an all-in if you dodge his Q3.
Akali
Pre-6 you beat her with good kiting.
Her lvl 6 is one of the biggest power spikes in the game, so if u want to kill her after 6, you want to ask jungler for help.
Akshan
Go for Celerity second with nimbus cloak.
I'll be honest most of the time akshan players are terrible at spacing, so when u manage to pull him in, just run him with ghost AND WALK BEHIND HIM, so you block his E path.
Always be aware of his roams so ping ss, when u need to.
If u struggle in this matchup, warden's mail is a great pickup.
Bel'Veth
If she runs ignite don't get cheese by her early.
Your ult deals true damage, so it deals 100% damage through her E so keep that in mind.
If u struggle in this matchup, warden's mail is a great pickup.
Briar
Executioner's Calling or Bramble vest are great options here.
Just walk out of her E if she uses it, other that than that, you just run her down.
Camille
Very simple matchup.
Do not start trades with E unless her grapples are on cooldown.
Be aware of her passive.
Do not get cheesed by her ignite (if she plays it).
Cassiopeia
I feel bad for you buddy.
Try to get as much exp and gold as possible and pray for your jungler to come.
Cho'Gath
You can go Demolish with bone plating here and abuse his plates, turrets or celerity with nimbus cloak to be moster at teamfights.
He can't do much vs you, just be sure to dodge his Q.
Buy boots asap.
Darius
You are trolling if you play Quickplay.
Get a life.
Dr. Mundo
EXECUTIONER'S CALLING FIRST BUY. ALWAYS.
I recommend taking second wind with demolish and just eating his plates.
Stand behind minions to dodge his Q's.
Take off his passive with your E whenever you can.
Fiora
Skill matchup.
This lane revolves around just dodging her W whenever u can.
If she misses it, you will win an all-in 90% of the time.
However if she doesn't waste her parry, you need to make sure to get 5 stacks on her, pull her and INSTANTLY ULT so she doesn't parry your ult damage.
You can block her vitals by staying near the wall.
Brambe vest is an amazing item vs her.
Gangplank
Ehhh... I'll be honest i hate this matchup.
You need to abuse his Early game so he doesn't get to late game with full build.
He outscales you very hard.
It's important in this matchup to destroy his barrels, either with your W or simply with autos.
Randuin's Omens is great 3rd item pickup if they also have crit adc on the enemy team.
Garen
Do not get cheesed by his ignite.
You win all the all-ins when above 70% hp.
Poke him with Q's whenever u can.
Gnar
Nimbus cloak is crucial here.
Most of the time you want to all-in him when he changes from his MEGA to mini form.
Be aware that he can jump on your head and escape.
If u are ever fighting him in his mega form, be sure to dodge his W.
It's okay to ult early in this matchup.
Gragas
If he runs phase rush, don't let him poke you to death.
Make sure to not stand in your minions so he doesn't Q you and the minions.
Gwen
Lately i have been running lethal tempo vs her and I win most of the time.
Lethal Tempo with bone plating.
Do not eat her Q's.
Antiheal is helpfull here.
dodge her R3 at all cost.
Heimerdinger
Pretty boring lane, there is nothing much u can do except try to dodge his E.
Personally, i would wait for jungler to help.
MERCS ARE A MUST HERE AS 1ST ITEM.
hexdrinker or spectre's crowl are great options if u struggle.
Illaoi
THIS WHOLE MATCHUP REVOLVES AROUND DODGING HER E.
IF U DIDN'T MANAGE TO DODGE HER E = YOU DON'T FIGHT HER AND U BACK OFF.
Very simple, if u dodge her E go all-in on her, if not back off.
Irelia
She is not allowed to take exp from first 3 melee minions.
Abuse her early, she can't do anything without her passive stacked.
If she has her passive stacked, make sure to not get hit by her E.
Bramble vest is a great pickup vs her.
WAVE MANAGMENT IS IMPORTANT HERE.
Jax
This whole matchup revolves around his E. Use your pull to kite it out.
Steelcaps are crucial.
It's okay to use your ult early, especially to keep your stacks up when he uses E.
Jayce
You either play with nimbus cloak or second wind with dshield and def.
Whenever you go all-in on him, make sure to walk behind him so he knocks you towards his turret.
plated steelcaps are great here
K'Sante
Second wind with demolish is great here.
I love running Black Cleaver first item into him as not only you lower his armors but also lower his damage.
With good spacing, you can make him lose first 3 melee exp from minions lvl 1.
Make sure to not use your Q's blindly as he will just E away.
Kayle
She is not allowed to take exp from first 3 melee minions.
Abuse her early, she can't do anything.
She is starting to outscale you lvl 11 onwards so be aware of that.
If you have trouble catching up to her you can go for swifties.
Kennen
NIMBUS CLOAK IS CRUCIAL HERE.
RUSH MERCS.
Make sure whenever u all-in him, to slow him down with W or E when he uses his E.
It's okay to ult him early in this matchup.
Kled
Bone plating is very good here, but if u feel greedy u can go for nimbus cloak.
Plated steelcaps first are great option.
When he has you on the leash, make sure to use your Q on him before he pulls you in.
Always try to dodge to the side whenever u feel like he's gonna go in on you with his E, so that he will also miss his Q, if that happens he is 95% times dead.
Malphite
Second wind with demolish is great.
Black cleaver first is amazing.
Whenever he tries to Q you, there is a small window when u can pull him in - abuse that. Keep in mind that he can always use his ult to escape so keep track of that.
Maokai
U can go for inpiration tree 2nd or resolve tree with demolish it's up to you.
Do not start trades with your pull as he will just Q you away.
Mordekaiser
I like to run nimbus cloak in this matchup as it allows you to dodge his Q's inside realm more easily.
You should try to play more aggressively pre-6. After his lvl 6 just try to dodge his spells inside his ult (it's very easy when you are close to him and you pop your ghost)
Nasus
He is not allowed to take exp from first 3 melee minions.
Abuse him early, he can't do anything.
Auto attack him to death, when he is about to run out of your range use your W or E.
Olaf
Nimbus cloak is crucial here.
Either Plated steelcaps or swifties are good choices.
Best case scenario is when u have lvl advantage over him and you all-in him lvl 6 while he is lvl 5.
Altough I would say with good spacing, you can beat him more easily pre-6.
If he misses his axe and can't grab it, it's a good window to make a trade with him.
When he pops his ghost and ult on you, just wait it out and then all-in him.
Ornn
Demolish with second wind is good here.
Black cleaver is also a good option.
Try not to start trades with E.
U CAN ALWAYS CANCEL HIS ULTIMATE WITH YOUR PULL.
Pantheon
Bone plating.
Steelcaps are great option.
Keep in mind that he can always E your ultimate, so either pull-ult him or just wait until he uses it.
You can also flash behind him when he uses E so that you deal dmg with ult.
Poppy
Be carefull whenever you play around her tower, don't be greedy.
Do not waste your E.
Other than that it's just a free matchup.
Quinn
Go Phase rush page.
Go warden's mail or steelcaps first.
If you manage to pull her in and interrupt her E, all-in her.
PING SS WHEN SHE IS MISSING.
I would honestly just wait for your jungler as she is very easy to kill 2 vs 1.
Renekton
Skill matchup.
Bone plating is amazing here.
You can zone him from exp for the first 3 melee minions (if he has no furry stacked!).
Do not waste your E.
try to start trades with auto-W.
Whenever u want to go all-in on him make sure to go to the side of him so that he doesn't double E to his turret.
Rengar
bone plating is amazing vs him.
Keep track of his passive stacks.
Whenever he jumps on you, auto-W him immediately. Do not waste your pull early.
Riven
Bone plating and Steelcaps rush.
I like to run Stridebreaker into her.
Keep track of her abilities.
You can always pull her as she Q3.
Do not use your Q blindly, as she will just dash into you.
If at the start of the trade you manage to auto-W her, It's a good window to all-in.
Rumble
Keep track of his passive and play around it.
Don't eat poke too much.
Stay behind minions.
If u struggle vs him, hexdrinker first is very good (sell it later when u would want to buy sterak's).
Ryze
Very boring lane.
I'll be honest there is not much you can do.
Do not waste your pull and save it when he is about to ult away.
Ask jungler for help.
Sett
Skill matchup.
Bone plating and steelcaps rush.
If there are no minions nearby, you will 90% time beat him in an all-in.
Try to start trades with auto-W.
DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO DODGE HIS W.
Shen
inspiration secondary or demolish with bone plating.
There is nothing much he can do vs you.
Try to always dodge to the side.
Do not get taunted under his turret.
PING YOUR TEAMMATES HIS LVL 6. JUST DO IT.
Always interrupt his ult with pull.
Whenever he tries to play agressively and all-in you for no reason, it means that he wants you use your pull and tp to his team.
Don't get baited by this and observe what is happening around the map.
Singed
Nimbus cloak is a must.
If u notice that he is going rylai's first item, u can go for swifties.
Stridebreaker is good option.
Walk with your wave lvl 1 so he doesn't proxy.
DO NOT USE PULL WHENEVER STARTING A TRADE.
Stay near your melee minions and just auto-W him whenever he tries to walk up.
if he does and he flips you, pull him immediately.
Sion
This matchup is very annoying.
Be aware of his lvl 1 Q in the bush.
Cancel his Q with pull, then auto attack him to death and use W when he is about run out of your auto attack range.
WAVE MANAGMENT IS CRUCIAL IN THIS MATCHUP.
Tahm Kench
Second wind with demolish is great.
Stay behind minions.
Start trades with auto-W and use your pull to interrupt his W.
Do not get swallowed under his tower.
Teemo
Either be greedy and go for nimbus cloak or play it safe with second wind and dshield.
U can pull him when he pokes u under tower to get a great all-in window.
There is not much u can do.
Don't eat poke for free, as you will get dove.
Get sweeper.
Wave managment is crucial here as u want to freeze the wave in front of your tower.
Mercs first are great choice.
Trundle
DO NOT FIGHT HIM IN HIS ULT.
You can try to play lethal tempo into him, however I would still go for Conq.
You can try to fight him pre-6 if u are confident you're gonna win.
Kite, kite, kite.
Steelcaps are great option into him.
Tryndamere
Make sure to get onto lane as soon as possible and don't let him stack his fury. Start trades with auto-W and save pull for later.
Do not fight him with his fury stacked.
If you're both lvl 6, It's totally fine to ult him immediately after you get 5 stacks on him as it will make him waste his ult faster.
PLATED STEELCAPS AND RANDUIN ARE GREAT ITEMS INTO HIM.
