Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page
Fiora is very scary, she's unkiteable and does four times the damage you do. You accept that you've lost lane and you should never fight her.
Camille
Fiora 2.0.
Poppy
Tank meta OP. She wins. There's nothing you can do about it, accept that you've lost lane.
Riven
Fuck this bitch. she's more mobile than any other top laner, while still doing three times the damage of a late game Rengar and tankier than a Braum. You lose . Accept that.
Jayce
Jayce is scary, but not nearly as scary as the people above him, as tough as it is, it is still possible to win against him, just be careful never to fight him without certainty of the outcome.
Nasus
This match up totally depends on the skill of Nasus, you can either get a braindead Q stacker who you'll have a lovely time going 10/0, or a 45% CDR Nasus with a literal perma-slow. You should know what type he is quickly in game and adjust your play style accordingly.
Kennen
Kennen is scary, play super passive and you should have an alright laning phase before you toally destroy him late.
Irelia
Irelia is a high damage, high mobility tank. While she is monstrously over powered, don't give up hope yet, just don't get within ~225 range of low health minions or if you're super behind any minions at all. Reducing how quickly she can get to you is key to wining lane.
Renekton
Renekton is a difficult match up. You can beat him without a problem late and possible mid game if you're fed if you can keep him off you, but just because you can beat him late doesn't mean you can abuse him early, if he gets a lead early, which he is almost certain to if you don't accept you're worthless against him early, he can snowball crazily and beat you well into late.
Maokai
Eh, he's a top lane tank, just don't let him get a lead early when he's strong and he'll have just as hard of a time killing you as you do him.
Pantheon
Panth is the same story as Renekton, refuse to fight him early and remember it's okay to let a few Qs land so you can get some CS, but never get in his W range or you're almost certainly dead. If he gets the tiniest lead early he'll roam around one shotting any squishies, you included.
Dr. Mundo
Don't fight him, it's a bad idea. Unless one gets a big lead over the other you have a hard time killing each other.
Yorick
This a fun lane, just farm early and completely destroy him the moment you get frozen mallet.
Darius
You can kite him easily, and because you dominate him so hard you can get your tank killer items relatively early and destroy him, but just because he can rarely catch you doesn't mean he can't kill you, because if he does E you you're almost certain to die early and maybe mid if either he's fed or you're not.
Garen
he's much, MUCH scarier than people make out this match up to be. Unless you can double E off something his Q catches you even if he doesn't have boots and you do, it's similar to Darius but he can catch you a ton easier.
Karthus
Easy lane, he's immobile and can do basically nothing to you, with frozen mallet and phage he'll want to die, which is coincidental enough because you should've killed him 6 times the time you have those.
Alistar
Total skill match up.
Diana
Diana's another scary one. She does stupid high damage while almost being tanky and limiting your mobility, you won't vs her top lane, but you'll die from her ganks a lot.
Quinn
It's like a Kalista vs Vayne matchup. In this case Quinn is the vayne and can two shot you mid game, but it isn't totally impossible to beat her. Just close to it.
Akali
She can easily dominate you or you can dominate her. I've rarely played this match up so more tests are needed.
Read the notes there's a lot of information there.
So you've played a few games of "good" ole' tank Gnar? Had some success with that? What's that? No, because you have low mobility, low attack speed and no kill potential? Oh well that's mighty convenient this guide's here.
Will finish tomorrow (20/2)
