Rush zhonya's, try to farm under turret as best you can and scale up. Care that he doesn't roam and get fed in bot or top lane, and you will outscale pretty well. He will almost always have kill pressure on you though so try to avoid this matchup.
Ziggs
Another casual poke lane, just dodge his Q's by rushing boots early, and try to trap him in your E, he's very squishy and his jump an't get him out of the cage without getting stunned.
Yasuo
Hard matchup, he can dash everywhere to avoid skillshots and can just windwall your ult and Q. Try to farm safely and trap him in E if he goe aggressive.
Xerath
Poke lane, just buy Banshee's Veil after your Lost chapter to avoid his stun, and take refillable to stay in lane.
Vladimir
Very annoying lane as he will outsustain and out damage you early game. Late game he will still out sustain you but your burst will be better. He can dodge your ult with W though so try to bait that out first.
Viktor
Low mobility, he has a bit of burst but if you go Banshee's you should be fine.
Vel'Koz
Very annoying poke lane, he can use W if you stay in minions or Q if you don't. His all in from afar is a real threat as he outranges you by quite a bit. You can try to E him during his ult though if you have enough HP, then proceed to burst during stun.
Twisted Fate
If he's in range to auto, you're in range to use all your abilities, don't overpush because of the easy gank setup, and you should be fine.
Talon
Same as zed, very hard matchup
Taliyah
You are very immobile, so easy to catch with taliyah W into E. Care early and you should outscale. You can match her roams with TP.
Syndra
Very hard matchup, rush banshee's aftr your Lost chapter, and consider buying zhonya's after that if she's fed. Late game it's a question of who bursts the other fastest.
Swain
Very annoying lane, tanky and high dps. Farm safely early and either rush morello to prevent his healing, or banshee's if you think he has the damage to kill you.
Ryze
Should be an easy enough lane, just beware his deceptive burst from spamming E Q.
Orianna
She outranges you and will poke you pretty hard early, but you outscale her very hard and will be able to burst her post 2 item spike.
Malzahar
Annoying lane, you can consider buying a qss just to dodge his ult, or just stay away from him, and respect his flash ult engage
Lux
Good poke, good burst, good range. She beats you on a lot of things, just play safe and call for your jungler to camp her as she is immobile. Get banshee's and tier 2 boots early so you can avoid her q.
LeBlanc
She has a strong burst potential, and the second part of her W can get her out of your E without being stunned. Play safe early and place your E before she uses W as the first part will get her stunned.
Kayle
Annoying, just farm and roam to avoid her.
Katarina
High kill pressure, can avoid your stun easily and has tons of mobility. Play very safe and prevent her snowball.
Kassadin
Pre 6 he can use Q to dodge most of your damage, that is if you're not 100% focused on farming. Post 6 he will one shot you and avoid anything you throw at him. Gank him early, try to out farm him and group up fast, as he'll struggle to fight you 5v5 without dying himself pre level 16.
Karthus
Rarely see him anyway, but he has no mobility, is very squishy and will not out damage you. Just be careful of the passive, don't die for no reason.
Heimerdinger
Mostly a farm lane, he might try to poke a little but you can just stand behind minions. Post 6 you have the kill pressure, he has strong burst, but yours is stronger and is easier to set up.
Galio
A mid lane tank. Just farm up, avoid ganks that galio can easily set up and roam to help your team.
Fizz
He hard counters you. Nothing you can do against his ult, he can avoid any spell with his E, his burst is insane, and he has a lot of mobility. Ban him, swap lanes with top, or just sit under tower and hope he doesn't dive. Zhonya's is a must.
Ekko
Difficult matchup, but can be won if you know what you're doing. Same as Leblanc, your E blocks the first part of his E, but not the second part. Safest way to win is E on yourself when he wants to engage, combo him and ult him after he uses him own ult if you can. Otherwise he will avoid your ult.
Corki
You have more burst, just farm until 6 and then try to burst him. Try to avoid extended trades with him.
Cassiopeia
No way to get out of your E without flashing, avoid her poison and you should be fine, play safe pre 6 though as her level 2 spike hits hard.
Brand
Annoying lane, lots of poke and burst potential. Buy refillable and zhonya's and try to burst him before he bursts you in fights.
Azir
Post rework, his poke won't be as reliable, as it will leave him in range for your combo. His all in and the shurima shuffle can kill you easily if he plays well though so play safe.
Aurelion Sol
Immobile and needs to be close to you to deal any damage, easy to burst him down. Buy Banshee's Veil to avoid his burst post 6, and warn your team whenever you can't see him.
Anivia
Low mobility, but lots of burst. Can punish your own lack of mobility easily, so buy tier 2 boots fast.
Ahri
She can't dash out of your E, and her burst requires her to be near you, easy to burst her down. Avoid her charm, or buy a Banshee's Veil (or both) and you should be fine.
