Really not that difficult. Dodge his E. When he tries to slam, pool and head back toward turret, hitting Q & E if he's far enough away to poke and still go without being hit.
Fiora
Fiora is a real pain. Try to stay near turret instead of being aggressive, as she can dash and close the distance when you go in to poke. Don't pool until A: She uses her ult (it does nothing. lel.) or B: You're legit about to die and there's no other option.
Cho'Gath
Try to poke him early with Q's while landing auto's for cs. Whoever gets the most gold first wins. His roar makes him difficult to outplay, and his spikes have a long range. Try to stay mid-short range.
Gnar
Gnar is easily poked with Q's. Around 5 early game could kill him. Poke with your Q and bully him away from minions. When his rage gets about 80, back behind your minions and poke whenever he gets close as Mega Gnar.
Darius
Watch his hook. If you're hooked, he can burst you and deal high damage; your pool protects you from auto's and abilities, but his blood will hurt you while you're pooled. You can W while he's mid ult to dodge it, but you have to time it perfectly, and he'll still be able to use it afterward when you come out of pool.
Garen
Q. Just Q. Whenever he runs at you, run away. If he's twirling, pool. You counter him. You know what to do.
Gangplank
He has a high sustain, and a Q with longer reach then yours. Really, he'll win this if you're both as good with your champions as each other. Hope he messes up his build, and focus on getting cs; poking won't work here.
Irelia
Irelia is insanely good at bursting. Her Q closes distance and allows her easy cs, so try poking her while she's using it. If you have higher health percentage, poke her. Keep your health percentage just a little below hers, and don't use abilities on her when it's getting close. Use them on minions so she doesn't burst you down.
Malphite
Time your Q's whenever he throws his rock at you, or whenever you need health. If he rushes you, poke and as soon as he gets close enough pool and move away. If he's coming at you when he's low, a gank is happening and you should run away.
Galio
Apparently this is a thing. Anyway, he has high MR, so try to outsustain him with spell vamp and keeping back. Q him whenever possible, but don't leave yourself out in the open, and DO NOT dive turret for him.
Kennen
This dirty rodent will stomp any untrained Vladimir. His Q and W combo will hit you from a range. Stay behind your minions; aggressive gameplay will result in failure. If he ults, pool as soon as you can and flash out. His burst is horrifying.
Mordekaiser
He counters you. That's pretty much it.
Whenever he has a shield, you can't poke him very hard. Build sustain and play on the defensive. Good luck here.
Nasus
Poke him with Q. If he slows you, pool when he gets too close. Use your E for minions, and keep him away from your minions.
Nunu & Willump
Hard poke, but his E is all he can do to you from a range. Q and E him to death. If you're low and he enters a bush, go to the opposite side of the lane and Q up. This should be a straight-forward encounter.
Riven
Holy annoying. Her E and Q close distance fast, so if you're going to poke, do it near your turret. If she activates her ultimate, run back under your turret. If she dives, Q, E, and then pool.
Zac
He has very high sustain, and will more then likely build MR right off the bat. Just go for cs; kills are wastes of time.
Maokai
Poke with Q. If he bursts you, just keep using abilities while moving away, or staying at max. range. When he uses his ult, wait for him to root you, then pool when it wears off. If you have very low health when he uses the ult, just run w/ pool.
Wukong
Poke with Q and E. If he stands still, he used his clone; start running back to your turret. When he uses his ultimate, pool. It outlasts his ultimate; like Fiora. Kind of depressing to be Wu in this scenario.
Sion
His sustain is high, and he has a slow and a stun. If you're slowed and he charges up his Q, pool and dodge. Careful of ganks; together he and the jungler can be VERY hard to outplay.
Teemo
His Q is long range, and he'll poke you pretty hard. Poke back, since your sustain is higher. If he starts popping shrooms while you're fighting, pool and move a distance away.
Tryndamere
Do I need to put anything here? Poke him. If he dashes after you, walk away and poke some more. If he uses his ult, run away, Q'ing him for health and pool when close to death, or under your turret.
Swain
Solid sustain, but drains mana hardcore with his ultimate. Watch his mana; as soon as it hits a quarter, he should be easy prey. Poke him with your Q for the duration of the matchup, and back off if his ult is up. If you get snared, pool immediately. Tethers are not cut if you pool while they are going on.
