Fizz

Extreme

Fizz can one shot u all game

Viktor

Extreme

Outrange I recommend that you buy tear and sweep the past to farm in every stage of the game it can kill you you need to be especially careful

Akshan

Extreme

Disgusting character who roams a lot, watch out in early for one shot and play defensively and use a lot of pings

Veigar

Extreme

U can go outside he's e with ur passive but he can one shot u with r u can buy stopwatch

Lux

Major

Higher range and killing your w thanks to e can be troublesome recommend to buy tear and play beyond range lux e

Corki

Major

The new ap build for corki is a big obstacle you need a gank to play, daughters are killing your w using q, e, r I recommend to buy a tear

Twisted Fate

Major

The biggest counter to malzahara or roam, try to ping your team a lot and stop tf r with q

Kassadin

Even

The one who is better will win, you can shoot kassadin with r I recommend that the jungler help you in the early stage of the game

Qiyana

Extreme

I don't understand this champion kills you in a second buy armor quickly and use r on it whenever you can in a team fight

Vladimir

Minor

You both don't really hurt eachother a lot, he is slippery so it is hard to ult him sometimes. Pretty even in every phase of the game. Buy Oblivion Orb after your mythic or Lost Chapter, depending on how much of a problem he is and how much other healing champs they have. Build it into Morellonomicon as a third item or so.

LeBlanc

Tiny

Watch out for early fights and roam, when lb doesn't get frags early, after 1/2 items you can kill her calmly

Zed

Even

Fairly annoying, you can't match his roaming potential, and he can poke you down and easily dive you in lane. Take stopwatch in runes or buy it early on. You should build Zhonya's Hourglass as a second item. Don't stay in lane low, try to make sure he doesn't hit level 6 before you do.

Yasuo

Minor

He can't do anything against you in lane, you outscale him and your ult does wonders against him in teamfights, basically just a free matchup. Only thing that can go wrong is that he will get a bunch of kills on his roams, but you can still easily destroy him in teamfights.

Sylas

Minor

Be careful at the beginning, because he will want to fight with you, avoid his e and try to play him on the range buy anti treatment remember that your r is primarily supress so silas stealing it from you also immobilizes yourself and r does not beat too much of itself

Anivia

Even

Watch out for her q to lvl 6 easy line after 6 anivia one shots minions with r you can turn off anivi r with q

Yone

Major

Yone can kill u all game play very def

Vex

Major

Be careful because after 6 he can kill you remember that fear can turn off your r

Katarina

Even

Kata can kill u but if u play def its easy lane

Ahri

Major

New ahri its broken remember but u can r she and one shot

Diana

Extreme

A character called tank assassin is very hard to kill as malzahar I recommend banning or dodge the game, diana can kill you with e + r

Irelia

Extreme

u can't win can only no feed

Tryndamere

Major

A character that will stick to your towers after level 6 and kill you, save your r and use when you have a porch or tryndamere entered your tower

Cassiopeia

Major

Dodge cassio q or u die

Ryze

Minor

Easy game u don't need win only can farm

Azir

Tiny

Pretty easy matchup, he lets you breathe and scale up pretty decently, if he is bad you can even bully him a bit in lane.
