Sett is one of the champions that i hate in the game, %60 of the games i ban him.. there is nothing much you can do to him. You poke him, he regenerates health, you all in him he deals massive true damage... You ult him he absorbs your ult dmg with his shield.. he will mostly win all trades. all you can do is to stay safe under tower and beg your jungler to gank you. You can also try trading him shortly. E+W+AA+Q run away, i recommend taking phase rush if you will Short-Trade him, but if you won't just go with conqueror. ALWAYS dodge his "W" as it's easy to dodge, he can't deal you much dmg without his "True Damage" Try not to die him more than 2 times in early game as, he will snowball so hard and you won't be able to do anything to him. Do not trade him early-on. Sett is one of the most broken champions in the game so be careful.
Vayne
This is matchup depends on your oponnent, if ur oponnent is good at vayne you can't do anything to her, you can't trade her, you can't all in her. if you get stunned by her "E" you die. if you can't make 5 Stacks on her Before she activates ult you probably die.. The fact is that you can start trading or even all-in her if you finished Stridebreaker. use Stridebreaker then use your e immediately.
If You Haven't finished Stridebreaker and you want to trade her (not recommended) make sure to use your e if she used her Q and immediately activate ghost so you can easily kill her before level 6 she will probably e you but ghost gives you enough MS so you can reach her.
Tahm Kench
Eh... Not Gonna Say Much. He has a freaking slow which stays for millions of years, he has a freaking movement speed which stays for millions of years, he is so tanky that you can't even damage him. He uses his shield to absorb your ult damage, He is just too annoying, he makes 3 stacks and he eats you. then deals huge damage. Stay under tower and beg your jungler to gank you as much as he can...
Quinn
Quinn is one of the early outdamage champions in the game. Stay safe till level 3. E her as fast as you can when she uses Vault (E) on you so you can pull her. and get an easy kill. She can ult and get back to lane easily at lvl 6 so don't even try to get plates when she is alive. When you see her respawned, just get back and recall because she will use her ult to get back to lane fast.
Akali
She is a threat if she knows how to use her W. You can't just attack her because of her W. she will win all trades that she used w since you don't have any Area Damage. All you can do is to go into the middle of the smoke and q there, but you need to do this fast as smoke will start spreading
Teemo
Who Designed This Champion, For Real... He will just poke you poke you and poke you till you die xd. You need to play safe till you buy "Stridebreaker" then you can dash to him with Stridebreaker pull him and kill him. DO NOT W HIM IF YOU ARE BLINDED as your "W" won't deal any damage or slow. If you see him waste his "Q" go trade him. If you hear him used his "W" sound immediately w him so he can't escape. Make sure to buy ORACLE LENS. Also buy Control Wards much at this matchup.
Aatrox
If your enemy knows how to play aatrox, he can just outdamage you.
Pushing the lane won't work since he has AOE damage (Q) he will just push lanes faster than you. Ask your jungler to gank early game. If you kill him 1-2 times, you will just snowball so hard. Start with "W" first if you wanna trade with him in early. but trade him early if you think you can dodge his "Q" or he will win trade, however even he wins trade if you make "5 Stacks" you will just kill him. He doesn't have Omnivamp at early game. Just his passive so use this advantage. Make sure to build "Executioner's Calling" or "Bramble Vest" at this point. I recommend EXECUTIONER'S CALLING because it works with your bleed.
Darius
Depends on who misses his skills first & who uses "E" better. If you see him waste his Q on minions just go trade him. His early damage is "Q" and without his "Q" you can easily outdamage him.
Ornn
He is just King of Tanks. Black Cleaver is a MUST for this matchup. Take Black Cleaver after Stridebreaker, and also buy "Mercury's Treads" Avoid hiting by his "W" or he will deal huge damage. Easy to dodge his "W" When he uses his "W" just move away and use your "Q" to start trading. With early power of Darius. You can kill him early game and dominate the game. You can harras him everytime he tries to push the lane.
Garen
You probably will win the lane, since you are the counter champion of Garen. but if he gets 2-3 kills first with the help of his jungler or by himself, he will just snowball and dominate your lane so be careful about it. You can start with Doran's Blade and "W" for early progression and even early kill or first blood. He can't do much in early game. You are one of the champions that is so powerful at Early Game. You can just outdamage him. Make sure to use your "W" if he used his Q or he will just use his Q and run away. But if you have apprehend and if he used "Q" to your "W" just pull him. If he used his "E" for minions, trade him or even all-in him. One of the Easiest Lanes for Darius.
Zed
He has burst damage so be careful.
Try to kill him before lvl 3. You can start with "W" for an early kill but he'll probably run away. If you kill him once before level 3. You can easily dominate the lane. Build steelcaps before Hearthbound Axe to reduce his burst damage.
Irelia
Yea, she is just too Mobile, You need to build some Armor before your Core Items after your first recall. So I recommend buying "Bramble Vest" since it gives you enough armor and Grievous Wound. Dodge her "E" or she'll win the trade. Whenever she tries to take CS with her "Q" use your "E" and punish her. she'll mostly go with short trades with you if she knows how to play against Darius. But if she doesn't you can kill her. Before 6 you have high chance to kill her. And beware that she is a snowball character. So If you die to her 1-2 times and if you don't have any kills (if she has more kills than you/if she has gold difference/level difference), do not trade her. Ask your jungler to gank you. Do not try to trade her near your minions as she will be jus too mobile so you won't even reach her. Also NEVER EVER trade with her if her passive is active, as she will just kill you so easily you won't even make 5 stacks. Whenever she activates her passive, step back and wait her passive to be ended she'll probably push the lane. So you can freeze your lane undertower and make free kill for your jungler.
Yuumi
She gives heal, she gives speed, she doubles your power. you can easily chase enemies and even get a pentakill with yuumi. You Can Easily win teamfights or even 1v5 enemies (Technically 2v5 since there is also yuumi xd)
Lulu
She is just ok. She gives speed, attack speed and shield which is pretty good. She'll help you win teamfights.
Yasuo
Eh, You pull and he ults. nothing special xd
If you pull 5 enemies at Teamfight and if Yasuo ults there, you will probably win the teamfight.
Ivern
Ivern jungle goes very well with Darius since Ivern has Hard CC while having skill set to keep you alive.

Zed is a Major Threat if you are going to troll build. He can just oneshot you (Except tanky Builds)
Check how to deal with him at the another page (Standard Page)

Can kite you so hard since you won't have any mobility. However you can oneshot her if she wasn't at your lane. Check how to deal with her at the another page (Standard Page)

She's a major threat if you are going to build Troll builds or go with troll/oneshot runes. Since she has invisibility she will kill you and you won't even be able to touch her.
Check how to deal with her at the other page please.
