Aatrox

Difficulty level 10/10 Start: Doran's shield SS: Flash + Ignite _________________________ PERSONAL OPINION: His healing is unbalanced so stay out of his range.. Aatrox is a laning phase bully.. Later on in the game he tends to have a harder time in teamfights because he has to use his brain for once. Go for a Lethal Tempo setup.

Akali

Difficulty level: 5/10 Start: Doran's shield SS: Flash + Ignite ______________________________ PERSONAL OPINION: If she goes tank the difficulty level changes to 2/10. Rush Mercury Threads into Essence Reaver -> Hullbreaker. You will already realise Mercury Threads does so much for you after the purchase. The magic resist + slow resistance makes it easy to walk out. Do not get hit by her E. Only way she kills you is if she all-in you by using W and you did not press your ultimate. The matchup gets easier the longer the game goes on. Just always walk away from her W.

Corki

Difficulty level: 2/10 Start: Doran's shield SS: Flash + Ignite ___________________________ PERSONAL OPINION: _______________________________ Run him down and autoattack him.. The only annoying part is his W. As soon as you have Prowler's you can run him down - don't let him farm. Ask your support or jungler to come top and dive him. Corki top is a trollpick - and you can't lose unlesss your team refuses to let you splitpush to victory. Try to be vocal to your team early on and let them know you can win this game in splitpush. The worst scenario is if he gets to free farm and it is gets to late game. He is stil squishy, but he can poke you down from afar. ____________________________________ Tips + Tricks _________________________________ 1. Try to get him low enough hp so you can R + ignite. They never expect the damage. It does a fair amount together. Remember to keep staying in range so your R still does damage. 2. Try to run up on him. Hide in the bush. If you get close enough he is a free kill everytime.

Darius

Difficulty level: 4/10 Start: Dorans Shield SS: Flash + Ignite _________________________________ PERSONAL OPINION: ___________________________ ITEMIZATION NOTICE: For this matchup you have to rush Ninja tabis as your first item.

Fiora

Difficulty level: 1/10 Start: Dorans Shield SS: Flash + Ignite ______________________________________ PERSONAL OPINION: This should be an easy matchup for you. Fiora is actually not that bad to face against. The only way she wins if she uses W - Riposte on your Ultimate. Then you will lose. For this matchup you HAVE to start Doran's shield, or a smart Fiora is going to take advantage of your low sustain and do small trades with Q. Also remember you can always Q her when she Q's you. You just have to be ready for it. _________________________________ Tips and tricks: 1. At level 6 you both have kill pressure. Usually Fiora uses W - Riposte a bit after she casts her R on you. So hold your R for a bit until she uses her W. 2. Also don't underestimate Fiora damage early game. If you missposition you can lose 1v1. Make sure to always walk backwards as you trade with your Q. You will outdamage her everytime. ___________________________ ITEMIZATION NOTICE: For this matchup you have to rush Ninja tabis as your first item.

Garen

Hail of Blades Difficulty level 1/10 Start: Dorans Blade Flash + Ignite _________________________________ PERSONAL OPINION: One of the easier and more fun matchups to play. The downside is his mobility to always escape with low hp. But the higher elo you get - being low hp is a major target on your back. Even though he has passive. Try work with your jungler if you are in the lower elo so you don't waste abilities + summoners spells with no kill. __________________________ Tips + Tricks ______________________ Early game: You can kill him at level 1. Walk infront of him and weave your autoattacks. Rush ninja tabi. Garen always rushes Berserk's Greaves because he needs the attack speed to waveclear. ___________________________ ITEMIZATION NOTICE: For this matchup you have to rush Ninja tabis as your first item.

Gangplank

Gnar

Difficulty level 2/10 Start: Flash + Ignite ____________________________________ With this setup you need to be very patient against Gnar. He can kite you until you have purchased Prowlers (2nd item). It should be easier after that. Just don't let him double jump. If you aren't patient opt for Conqueror setup and rush Blade of the ruined king first item.

Gwen

Heimerdinger

Difficulty level 10/10 Go for Conqueror setup. I have not enough matchups so I can not give any advice. I played against Heimerdinger once with Conqueror setup. He was a one trick in Diamond. I went Flash + Ignite, I started Dorans Blade and went for Null-Magic Mantle into Mercury Threads + Wits End. I had an easy time against him

Irelia

Jax

Kayle

Kennen

Difficulty level: 8/10 Start: Doran's Shield SS: Flash + Teleport _____________________________________ PERSONAL OPINION: This matchup is tricky. The matchup can be in your favor or can go very sideways. But if you have a jungler and you get ahead he will be very easy to deal with. On the other hand without any help from your jungler and if you are getting camped he is the worst champion to face. He is also a lane bully with his range. If you don't want to go for the splitpush setup you can opt for the lethal tempo build. Hey I get it. It is kinda frustrating to play against a range. It is players that tend to get rolled on in the botlane and now they are playing range top.. This is accurate check Quinn + Kennen players match history. Tell me they don't play adc / or used to play adc:). __________________________________ Early game: Hell Mid game: Ok Late game: Hell Kennen just has too much damage and sometimes Zhonya + R combo is enough to make him undiveable in any stages of the game. If you get ahead it is fairly easy and you can run him down as he lacks damage. But if you are 0-0 at 20 minutes same cs and think you are doing well. Think twice. You lost. Kennen will be way more useful in teamfights and a Kennen that can freely farm can carry teamfights easily. In conclusion: If you get ahead, you better end the game fast! If you are not ahead - play around your team!!!

Kled

Malphite

Difficulty level 10/10 Start: Dorans Shield Flash + Teleport _________________________________ Don't go Hail of Blades. Go Lethal Tempo to win this matchup.

Mordekaiser

Nasus

Difficulty level: 10/10 (Hails of Blades setup) Start: Dorans Blade SS: Flash + Ignite ______________________________________ Difficulty level 1/10 You need to go another setup to win this matchup. Conqueror for this matchup. First item is Blade of the Ruined king. Full build looks like this: Blade of the ruined king Ninja Tabis Trinity Force Hullbreaker *Wits End *Steraks Gate *You can always swap these items out for anything else that might fit better. But this build will let you 1v1 Nasus in any stages of the game. Tips: Try to ult him, when he ults. Runes: Conqueror Triumph Legend: Tenacity Last Stand Taste of Blood Ravenous Hunter Attack Speed Attack Damage Armor Personal opinion: You have kill pressure all day long. Test our your damage. If he has Ghost, you can kill him at level 1 if he oversteps to farm minions. Autoattack and walk infront of him. (Called Attack Move if you want to watch specific youtube guides for this)

Olaf

Difficulty level: 1/10 Start: Dorans Blade SS: Flash + Ignite ______________________________________ PERSONAL OPINION: This matchup should be fairly easy if you have ignite.

Ornn

Poppy

Quinn

Riven

Difficulty level: 1/10 Start: Dorans Blade SS: Flash + Ignite ______________________________________ PERSONAL OPINION: One of the easier and more fun matchups to play. You have more damage just make sure you always start the fights with Q. At level 6 you need your flash to dodge her R. But I highly suggest you to play aggro since level 1. Q her and walk away, her Q makes her walk forward if you walk backwards.. Test the water. This matchup should be easy until level 6 it can be tricky. Don't fight if you are not 100% hp. But I expect you to already be ahead before level 6 either in CS or in kills.. Or else you are doing something wrong..

Sett

Go for Conqueror setup. More information to come soon..

Shen

Hail of Blades Difficulty level: 7/10 Start: Dorans Blade SS: Flash + Teleport ______________________________________ It is not playable early. For me personally it is boring and I don't have patience to play with Hail of Blades even though later on in the game it should be easier to deal wit him. ______________________________________ Lethal Tempo Difficulty Level: 2/10 You should opt for Lethal Tempo in this matchup. Lethal Tempo outperforms way better. Shen's E - Taunt, triggers your Hail of Blades and if you haven't used Q on him beforehand it looses its effectiveness. Go for Lethal Tempo. ______________________________________ TIPS: 1. When you get to close to Shen, while farming minion, he will use his Q. You can bait it out by using your Q and walk backwards. 2. When Shen uses E - Taunt, Shen tends to use W when the Taunting is finished. Try to bait out his W by staying close to him and then walk out. When his W is down you can go for extended fights and you will win with Lethal Tempo.

Singed

Do not use Hail of Blades use Lethal Tempo and he should be easy.

Sion

Difficulty level: 1/10 Start: Dorans Blade SS: Flash + Teleport ______________________________________ PERSONAL OPINION: One of the easier and more fun matchups to play. The downsides though if your team is very far behind, Sion can hold his ground against you with a jungler. So even though you kill him in 1v2 he can still trade with his passive. The other downside is the matchup is not 100% won until you have Prowlers (2nd item). With 2 items you can run him down. If he stays on turret wait till you get Hullbreakers (3rd item) and he will be easy to dive. ____________________________________ Tips + Tricks ___________________________________ Early game: You can kill him at level 1. He is very squishy. Just walk infront of him and autoattack, as your attack speed (Hails of Blades) will wear out eventually. If Sion goes tank it is easy for you to just ignore Sion and take turrets. You can kill him right after with your ultimate. If he goes full lethality. He is very squishy. Be vary of his item Prowler. If you use E to interrupt his Q (as you should) you don't have anything to stop him in his passive "Glory in Death". Try to sneak up on him from behind when he use his Q on the minion wave. You will have your E saved this way to slow him in his passive.

Tryndamere

Hail of Blades Difficulty level: 1/10 Start: Dorans Blade SS: Flash + Ignite _____________________________________ Very easy matchup. You can kill him at lvl 1 if he doesn't have ignite (even if he has Lethal Tempo). During laning phase when he walks up to a minion use Q on him + AA if possible. Just be careful Tryndamere tends to bait by walking towards you and use his E to damage and retreat. But if you slightly walk backwards while you are attacking him his E will not do damage. Goal: Play very aggresive and get a lead early game.

Talon

Just dodge.. Hail of Blades will not work out with this matchup. I have not had enough games against Talon. But I lost 5 out of 5 games against Talon top. Laning phase is extremely hard as he tends to just do small trades and use wall jumps. If he is far away from a wall try to kill him before lvl 6. After lvl 6 do not fight Talon until you are tanky enough to survive his damage.

Vayne

Wukong

Sometimes he does alot of dmg.. And sometimes he doesn't? Pretty sure there must be a bug somewhere..

Yasuo

Difficulty level: 1/10 Start: Dorans Blade SS: Flash + Ignite ___________________________ ITEMIZATION NOTICE: For this matchup you have to rush Ninja tabis as your first item.

Yone

Difficulty level: 1/10 Start: Dorans Shield SS: Flash + Ignite ______________________________________ PERSONAL OPINION: One of the easier and more fun matchups to play. It is always going to be so much fun when they pick Yone into Trundle. Same as Garen - Yone will rush Berserks Greaves for waveclear. Therefore you can play it safe and go for Ninja Tabi rush. You will win all duels. Just be vary of Lethal tempo. Do small trades and walk out and back in again. - Also you can run him down at any level if you both start with Doran's blade at level 4. Just make sure he doesn't have Q1 else he is going to kite you - so fight him when he hasn't stacked his Q. ___________________________ ITEMIZATION NOTICE: For this matchup you have to rush Ninja tabis as your first item.

Yorick

Urgot

Difficulty level 9/10 Start: Dorans Shield Flash + Teleport _________________________________ PERSONAL OPINION: Urgot is not a fun matchup. He can rush Hullbreaker and as you rush Essence Reaver you will not be able to beat him. It is not like you had a chance anyway. Urgot has way too much damage. Urgot wins in all 1v1 duels from lvl 2 until you atleast get 5 items or full build.. You need a jungler's help for this one unfortunately..
