Yikes. Armour = meaningless
Try to take advantage of her poor laning phase - unlike top lane you don't have to face her yourself
Morgana
Annoying as spell shield will nullify your engage. Her root is disgustingly long and she has easy poke (although not that powerful) with W. Should be BANNED.
Xerath
Oppressive Poke. Terrible to lane against. BUT at least he is immobile. Bait out his abilities and take advantage of his lack of escape. Once you get on top of him it is over. Rush merc treads.
Vel'Koz
Oppressive Poke. Terrible to lane against. BUT at least he is immobile. Bait out his abilities and take advantage of his lack of escape. Once you get on top of him it is over. Rush merc treads.
Neeko
Nasty - CC and good burst. Once she gets 6 it's going to be tough to engage. Engage only if you are going to all in and know you will kill her, but try to find these windows of opportunity pre-6 to get ahead.
Pantheon
Pantheon support is stronger than you think. Point and click stun-engage that far outranges yours. His E is great protection for both him and his ADC. Great map pressure after 6. Does pretty good damage as well. DO NOT get stunned with his full stacks. Good thing is, once you get 6, your 2v2 is better your ult is more relevant. Play safe until then. Prioritise engaging onto his ADC.
Lux
Decent CC and damage that are pretty easy to land. Bait them out and get on top of her and you are good to go. Her poke is not as menacing as Xerath or Vel'Koz and her Q is pretty slow. This lane depends on your ability to dodge her roots, if you do you can pressure her and you would win. If you don't...
Alistar
Mess with the bull....and you'll probably be fine. You outdamage him so if he engages on your ADC, engage back on his. Most likely you will win the trade, especially since you can E out after your full rotation, but he cannot. If he engages on you...then he is dumb because you are way too tanky to one-shot (at least you should be), and once you've landed after being airborne you will win the fight. The only thing is...he scales pretty well so take advantage of your favourable lane and snowball as much as possible. Don't engage onto him...obviously.
Blitzcrank
Block his hooks for your ADC and you should be fine, especially if you manage to turn to his ADC after. He does NOT want to hook in a big boy like you. Ideally you both dodge it though obviously. He only wins if he lands his hook onto your carry. Otherwise, your all in is stronger early so take advantage of this.
Brand
Strong pokey/burst mage, so if you get hit by his spell rotations...ggs. BUT he is very immobile. His range is not as oppressive as Xerath and Vel'Koz although his burst is something to behold so watch out. As long as you bait out his pillars, you should be set. Get on top of him and cya later alligator.
Braum
Just don't engage onto him. He is very good at protecting his carry so always keep that in mind. BUT unless he is paired up with Xayah or Lucian, is kill potential is very low in lane. Even still, it is not that high. Don't get hit by his Q and there's not way they will kill either of you. Lock down their ADC, even if you can't quite get the kill, you can always E out (before you are stunned) and take a winning trade.
Fiddlesticks
Play aggro. Otherwise you'll just be poked down. Jump on him and win. Simple.
Pyke
The hell is he going to do? Hook you? Block his hook for your ADC and you win the lane. It is that simple. If he hooks you, you can E out to safety if you are not looking to fight. OR you can E to reposition and turn the fight to your advantage. You are Pyke's nightmare. Every time he looks for a hook, he knows that if he lands on you, he could be shooting himself in the foot. As such, you can be the aggressor, jump onto either him or his ADC (preferably ADC of course) and you'll win. He is melee as well, so you won't be poked down (unless you count his Q as a poke). Easy lane.
Thresh
Thresh's utility always makes him a threat. His flay can help prevent your engage with E and his lantern can either be a saving grace, or help his roamers gank you. However, he is squishier than you think early, and guess what, you are very strong early. Block hooks for your ADC and play around his flays. Feel free to engage onto him before he gets tanky.
Nami
Point and click W for heals and trading tool. Good CC as well. This lane is won by dodging bubbles and getting on top of her. Force all ins as much as possible, she is immobile and squishy. If she looks for a trade with her W, be prepared to E in and all in. Otherwise she'll just take free trades and walk away with more health.
Yuumi
Her poke is dodgeable and manageable. Team fights...she's annoying asf. In lane, should be straight forward. Look for hard engages and you'll win.
Soraka
Most important thing is to dodge her Q's. Once you do that, the engages are pretty straight forward. Don't get poked out, and if you are trading, prioritise her over her ADC (her self-healing is weak...relies heavily on landing Q). When engaging, be wary of her silences, but you should have enough mobility with your E to outplay this.
Zyra
Really strong burst mage. Her root goes through minions so be careful. Her poke with her plants are really strong. It will be a rough lane if you don't manage to dodge her combos. But if you do, then engaging on her or her ADC will be easy win. You can outplay her ult with your E to reposition as well.
Senna
Stupidly long range Q and autos. Apart from that once you get on top of her, there is little she can do. Her root is slow and her E only works on ranged champs. Play around vision and look for hard engages as much as possible.
Leona
Walking CC. You both play very similar roles, but you outdamage her while she out CC you. Her lvl6 power spike is scary so be wary. It is a little risky engaging on her, BUT, you do have the advantage of disengaging with your E. So you CAN engage onto her, but she cannot engage onto you (unless she is inting). The lane is won by small margins, and will most likely depend on you managing to engage on to her ADC first and burst them down with your superior damage. If she goes onto your ADC, you can quickly E to safety and will win that trade because of her lack of damage and lack of escape. If she tries to go onto you to protect her ADC, then your ADC is clear to deal damage.
Nautilus
Tanky with good CC, don't engage onto him. He does not want to hook you either so block it for your ADC. Your W deletes his shield, though so turn on him if he wastes his hook onto you. You will win that trade. Unless he's low enough, do not fully commit and E out to take the winning trade, he is likely too tanky to burst down from full HP. Otherwise, look to engage onto his ADC and you'll win.
Draven
Really strong all in. We all know how could of a laner he is, you two will be a menacing threat with high snowball potential.
Tristana
Good follow up with her jump.
Lucian
Nice all in, early game ADC for you.
Jhin
Good follow up to your engage, especially if he can root after your stun.
