Ahri having passive up with a charm in your face is a death sentence. Learn to avoid standing behind 5 hp minions when ahri gains the opposition. (Same rule applies to your Q for the other side)
Akali
Anivia
Annie
Azir
Brand
Predicting opponents is all about understanding their main goal. Brand wants you to dodge his pillar of fire, so that you get misplaced, and he can stun you with the remaining two abilities only one of which needs to hit.
Always calculate both his pillar of fire as well as his conflagration ranges.
Cassiopeia
Hate her, Cass's pools outrange your W/Q combos. She will keep avoiding you and pushing the wave.
Most important tip, you can always destroy her ult by facing the other direction. Her hardest to handle skill is not her ult, but her suppression poison spit pool that keeps you from leaping out with E.
Lux
She use's max range singularity? Learn which way she overextends it and go the other way (if it's too long range, move towards her, and vice versa).
She tries to root you with her binding spell. You can almost W and E on top of her while dodging it.
Now her R is useless if you can properly juke.
Main problem is her shield, which if combined with barrier can really bait you into the worst dives or jungler baits.

Malzahar
Nuisance, free pushing from his side, shields for centuries, and little minions to block your Qs.
Orianna
Truly annoying, especially because of her shield. When she is patient with her ball moves and reacts to your movements, it will require a lot of concentration
Swain
Need to beat him early
Syndra
Wait for her stun to be on cd, otherwise a single hit will be the end of you. Your main tools are to be reactive and perceptive to her ball locations.
Talon
Avoiding his three knives is the most important skill in winning this match -up. Pretend to go in and bait them. He should never farm and harass with them at the same time.
Twisted Fate
You are a twisted fate yourself, just more focused on burst instead of control. He's much "heavier" than you, so deal with him by kiting better than he could ever dream of re-positioning. Always follow his ult with yours, and keep forcing the turret (your specialty).
Veigar
Really easy to get in or outside his event horizon with E and dodge his main combo. Very important to calculate your damage output precisely so you are not left with nothing against an R & Ignite - ready Veigar at 100 hp.
Vel'Koz
Annoying in his poking capacity, this is one matchup where you really need help. He pushes, he pokes with double-ground eruptions and if you , at any time, get too close, a single CC may end you. Nothing to do here except survive early game. He's squishy later ;)
Viktor
Hate his shield, hate his unpredictable ground lazers. His shield is the one thing making proper trades impossible. He pushes well, so your best bet is a jungler so that you can both avoid his unreliable cc.
Vladimir
Don't WE, try to learn how to manipulate his cooldowns to your advantage. Preferrable to WQ/Wauto entirely in this matchup.
Xerath
It's for some reason harder to dodge his cc than other types of ranged stuns/roots. You need to learn how to dodge, juke-dodge and juke-juke-dodge to keep him guessing.
Yasuo
Free inherent shield...Free dashes...Free anti-poke strike...Free wave-pushing tornados...Free windwall to block Q, W, E and R...Free ally-activated ulti...
This champion was designed to destroy AP ezreal, and it's really the only ban I focus on during any ranked play. I can never beat yasuo and always have to play around him. Can someone teach me how. Please? :3
Zed
If he consistently hits both shurikens during a forward-shadow-slash combo, then he's too good for you and you need to learn how to dodge at least one of them by moving diagonally to the shadow, or just rushing back to turret and...crying?
Ziggs
He pushes, and becomes vulnerable to nice bursts. Needs more dodging than others, but he's too slow if you take into account the landscape he creates.
Zoe
If you constantly get hit by her delayed stun, you will definitely be zoned out of lane in two combos. In this matchup, you can't really keep your WE combo until she tries to make you sleep, since her autos hurt a lot.
Instead, try to play around her combo, when she comes in from one of the holes to the other, you really really have enough time to poke her down if you predict it correctly. Send an R to the back hole as well. That didn't sound appropriate...
