Don't waste your time trying to one shot him IF his passive is up, If not, go for the kill. Other than that he can out duel you so be careful.
Akali
If you get the jump on her with your E, you'll deal massive damage and she's quit squishy so she'll try to hide and that's when you spam your W or Ult for a kill.
Alistar
Just don't bother dueling him at all. Go for the squishes and help your team secure kills.
Amumu
Don't get in first and wait for Amumu to initiate since you'll counter his initiation with yours. Once he ults and his team comes in, E into his back line to disrupt their plan.
Cho'Gath
He gets quite tanky to duel so focus on their carries. He can't really kill you if you have your Guardian's Angel up or your Passive up.
Diana
Careful with Diana since she can burst you and chase you. If you see her don't engage and wait until she engages on your teammates to disrupt her flow of plans with your E and R.
Dr. Mundo
Mundo gets too healthy so don't bother focusing him. He can only focus on one champion so once he goes in with his team, aim for their squishes.
Ekko
Ekko is more of the harder champs to face since he can stun you with his W and get away with his R wasting all of your resources. So just focus on the squishes and back line.
Elise
Elise has percent damage and and is a very good jungler so don't bother dueling her. Instead catch her when she ganks your lanes with E to burst her down for your teammates. Wait for her to initiate and save your ult to protect your carry.
Evelynn
Eve ganks early and since you won't know where she's going and can't see her with regular wards, let your team play safe and try to out jungle her early and gain the uppper hand with damage.
Fiddlesticks
Easy to counter since you basically counter his abilities. Wait until he ults in and uses Zhonya's. After that's over, that's when YOU jump in with your E and burst down their back line.
Fizz
Fizz is tricky and can dodge your E jump. Wait until he goes all in to jump on him and use your E, W, R combo.
Gragas
Gragas get's pretty healthy and never initiate first since he can ult you away. Don't try to duel him one on one and just focus on farming and counter ganking.
Hecarim
Hecarim is another easy champion to counter since he can only go in by himself. As soon as he uses his ult, jump in with E on his back line and use all of your resources on the carry. After you have used everything, don't forget to Zhonya's to buy your team time and you'll have Guardian's Angel up and your passive up to be more annoying.
Jarvan IV
You can E out of his ult and his ult makes it that he can't escape your R unless he flashes or Q, E out which will waste his chasing resources.
Jax
When he jumps on you, use your E in a point blank jump to knock him up and R away. When he jumps on your ally, jump in with E and use all of your resources to kill him.
Kayle
Pretty hard since she can cancel out your kill combo with her R. Save your resources to keep your carry alive.
Kha'Zix
When he jumps in to kill you, use E at point black to burst him down and R to finish the job while constantly spamming your W.
Lee Sin
He can out duel you and kick you away if you were to jump in to kill him.
Malphite
He gets too tanky and can counter your ult. Instead wait for him to ult first then counter with your E, R, W combo.
Maokai
He gets too tanky to kill by yourself, instead keep your carries alive and when he jumps in, focus on his back line.
Master Yi
Master Yi is very squishy so after he uses his Q, you can E him more easily and finish him off with your R, W combo. Also you have 2 knock-ups to cancel his W.
Nautilus
Just don't focus him in fights and it'll be an easy win.
Nidalee
She is pretty squishy and is pretty easy to kill. Just dodge her Qs and you'll be okay. When she goes cougar form and tries to pounce on you, just jump in on her with your E and W combo to burst her and finish her off with your ult.
Nocturne
He get's annoying since he can block one of your main spells, which is your E. Only jump on him after he ults one of your teammates to counter him.
Nunu & Willump
You can easily counter his ult and get to his back line with your E and R combo. Don't focus him in team fights.
Olaf
This is one of the hardest match ups ever for AP Zac. Since he ignores all of your CC with his R and can burst you down.
Pantheon
When you see him jumping in on your team, just E in and R and you'll counter his initiation.
Rammus
Jump in on him as soon and he taunts your carry to counter his initiation and follow up with your R for his back line.
Rek'Sai

Rengar
When he jumps on you, just E point blank to burst him down and use your R, W combo to finish him off.
Sejuani
She gets too tank to kill so when she initiates, use your E for her back line to kill her carries.

You have a lot of AoE damage to kill him and his clone really fast so as soon and he tries to kill you with his clone and himself, just E onto him and use your R and W combo.
Shen
Don't jump into Shen with your E since he can taunt you. Instead, jump into his back line and he'll have no choice but to go after you. As soon and he goes in to taunt you, pop your Zhonya's and retaliate with your R, W combo.
Shyvana
She gets too strong to duel by yourself but a lot of Shyvanna junglers are squishy so if she jumps in with her ult, jump in on her with E and use your R, W combo to keep her away from your carry to kill her.
Sion
Don't focus him and when he ults in, wait for his team to fully commit before jumping in with your E,R and W combo.
Skarner
Skarner is quite annoying so don't jump in on his team since he can cancel your ult with his. Wait for him to initiate or when a team fight by both team is fully committed since there will be too much going on and focus on using your E on their back line of carries.
Tahm Kench
Don't bother with dueling him since he'll tank your damage. He saves his carry by eating them so as soon and he spits them out, try to followup with your E, R and W combo.

Just kill him with your E, R, W, Q combo.
Trundle
He can out duel you and his E is annoying if your around it with your ult. Try not to be around it when ulting and focus his back line.

You can jump in on Tryndamere and use your combo to burst him down. When he pops his ult, use Zhonya's and it will give you time for your abilities to cooldown to use again to finish him off.
Udyr
He can stun you while you're ulting and it'll be a big waste. Instead wait for your team to initiate and jump in on him if he goes after your carry.
Vi
She can go straight for your back line with your ult so when she does, jump on her to kill her immediately with your E, R, W combo.

His passive makes him hard to kill and he can kill you pretty easy. Wait for him to run in on your team and disrupt his team's plan by jumping in on them with your E, R, W combo.

Xin Zhao
He can ult you away if you jumps on your carry so save your E for when he ults to jump back on. Or Flash+R in to retaliate.
Hello guys! Luso here and this is my guide to playing AP Zac! He's pretty fun and scary being AP and I don't see a lot of people playing him that way. He is indeed squishy but he also has the potential to burst down the back line of a team with ease. Stick around and you might find this guide worth it.
