RANGED MATCHUP (Wait for lvl 6). Proxy angle, nothing else to say.
Aatrox
After he uses his E (dash) try to be more agressive and deny as many cs as possible. If he hits you once with Q, he can then do full combo and you can do nothing, you can mostly only flash from his W then. So if he used his 2nd Q and hits W, you have to use your shield (W) to reduce incoming BIG DAMAGE.
After lvl 6 you can try to all-in him with Flash/Ignite.
Darius
With these runes you cant win against him early (also depends on how good enemy Darius is). He will zone you from Gold and XP from minions so be ready for that. Good Darius will start against you with his W (slow), you have to start Q for cut the slow, so when he starts AA-W, you have to AA-Q and run back (if possible you can proc Phase Rush by the another AA--> so AA-Q-AA-RUN). Otherwise Bad Darius player will start Q so you can take your E and take the first 3 minions like him and just wait for lvl 6.
The best scenario for you is when Darius does: E-AA-W-Q, so you can easily dodge his Q by doing: letting him E-W you, then you just do basic: Q-E-Whip (or AA), then run him down or run away for the short trade.
The worst scenario on lvl 3-6+ is when Darius starts W and AAs you: you have to AA-E for some dmg but dont proc Phase Rush! Just wait for his next move, if he after his W try to Q you, you probably have to use W (NOT YOUR Q!!!!!!!) If he then uses his E which also a bit slow you down, then you have to use your Q and proc Phase Rush.
You just basically cant trade with him like this--> AA-Q-E (ye that procs Phase Rush but when the silence ends and you will run away from him, he will just have enough time and range to use his E and run you down, since you'd already used your Q and dont have ready Phase Rush you are mostly dead).
Wait for him to make HUGE mistakes like when he hasnt ready his Q or E.
Just also so much depends how good the opponent is. Dont be scared to play against this shty champion. Try first-picking at NORMAL GAMES, first-picking because the opponent will try to counter-pick you like with Darius, Kayle, Morde, Teemo, etc. At normal games you can improve the playstyle against these disgusting champions. You have only one Ban while banning phase, so use it wisely.
Or the trading with him can be like this: he AA-W-Q/ you can then: dodge his Q with your: Q-E-then run back and if his silence is about to be off, you have to use your W to block incoming dmg bcs he will E you, after he Es you then you can proc phase rush to run away safely (DONT PROC PHASE RUSH WHEN HIS E IS READY! YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RUN AWAY BCS HIS E RANGE IS BUSTED) this could works.. i hope -_-
Camille
Very hard matchup, also good to ban.
At lvl 1 what im doing is that I will immediatelly AA her to force her AA on me so she will lose her passive (shield) which makes you a window to trade with her. She will probably start W to poke you, so you can start E to clear + poke. At lvl 2 you can start W, since she is a lane bully and she will zone you = pushing towards you, she will have lvl3 much earlier than you, so without your W she will use her E and jump on you with insane burst. But as usual depends on opponent skill, when she is not that agressive and letting you to take cs you can start with Q and E for lvl 2 and try to poke her a bit.
TRADE ONLY WHEN SHE HASNT HER PASSIVE READY!!!
Her 2nd Q is a MASSIVE dmg to you, never trade that long so she can 100% hit it. Just do short trades until lvl 6, after lvl 6 when she will engane you with her E and wastes her passive, you can just run her down.
Also good proxy angle since without the ignite and R ready you much cant even lane against her, so you can try to proxy when you dont have spells and R ready.
After first item when you have Stridebreaker and she has Divine/Trinity she is just MUCH stronger then you, at this point she can kill you into like 4 seconds and fully use her passive, since she has ult you cant run away from her, she will kill you in her ult. Very good to ban since she is also much better in roaming, teamfights on sidelanes post game, she is just better overall.
Cho'Gath
He is a late-game monster, in teamfights and while objectives you can try to silence him before he will secure Dragons or Heralds/Barons for his team by his R! Always be in teamfight when is this champion in the game! Or you can force your team to fight 4v4 when is fight for Drake and both of you are on the Toplane and he is about to TP to help his team, you can Silence him (that stops his TP) and he will not be in the fight to secure Dragon, which is insane thing you can do.
While laning-phase he can be pretty strong (especially when he has Hail Of Blades=he can hit one Q then he will Silence you a do huge burst dmg with this Rune and Es)
When you in some situation know that you are gonna be hit by his Q (like if you are stunned by someone and he slowed you by himself) use your E and maybe also W so you will reduce his incoming damage and with your E you will poke him.
If you saw him using his R to minions for stacks just be more agressive, deny cs, xp, just make pressure.
In late-mid game depends on how strong he is... if he is fed, you can stay with him on the lane and block his TP for drake with your Q, its worth forcing 4v4 because fed Cho'Gath would do SO MUCH MORE in teamfights.
Dr. Mundo
Very good matchup, try to be agressive since beginning so he will be forced to start with his Q, at lvl 1 you can take the first 3 minions and then if possible asap AA-Q-AA him, that will burst him also procs Phase Rush so you can just run away, since he has Q he cant poke you because you will be behind the minions and you will let your passive to heal you so much. When you are healthy you can do it again. Very good thing is, that you can just simply deny cs or even cannons just standing in the direction he would Q them from range, if he will go for the cannons into melee range, you can burst him so much-> its almost every time win-win situation. Run Ignite cuz his BIG healing from ult. If he is fed build Stride into Mortal Reminder for (Mortal Reminder for Anti-heal, 30% armor penetration and ofc Crit and some AD. Very good item overall).
Also when is Mundo fed that much you cant even lane, the proxy is so good, since its almost impossible for him to stop you-> you can clear the wave before him, if he will few steps folow you, you can proc Phase Rush by doing: AA-E-Stride/and his coming slow from his Q you will cut by your Q and you can continue doing proxy.
Jayce
Very hard matchup, very good proxy angle, since he hasnt much mobility to stop you, if you are in a good spot for proxying, try to do it. After first item its much better because you can slow him and even he will use his E to push you back, you can mostly run him down with you Phase Rush, Stride, Ignite and Flash if needed.
If Jayce while laning phase has Phase Rush like you, you can wait to lvl6 in a good scenario he will waste his Phase Rush to poke you and then you can run him down with all the stuff you have. So you can: Flash-Q-E-Ignite-AA-R. (ofc you can add the Stride if you have him).
I dont recomend doing the extra one AA before your Q (while all-inning him) because that can give him chance to reacted with his E and your combo is ruined.
Its just ranged matchup against a ranged champion who can transform (with his R) into a melee champion, which is so annoying.
