Skill Matchup. Start Q. Care for his Q W engages and poke, rush bramble.
Akali
Harder matchup, START Q. care for early q poke, once she has W she is very hard to deal with. She has alot of dashes that counter you because of your immobility. Freeze against her.
Camille
Camille can scale very hard late game, but early you can destroy her. Care for her W poke. If she E's on you pull her out of it. U win the all-in. If she wastes E on u, ghost. Care for her lvl 6 because she can dodge ur abilities.
Cho'Gath
Very easy matchup, punish him hard, he shouldn't be allowed to walk up for minions. Care for jg ganks.
Dr. Mundo
Very easy matchup as well, go either executioners or bramble. U can't pull him but u can e him for damage and stomp on his passive. He should just sit back early for farming with his q. Care for jg ganks.
Fiora
Extreme skill matchup. If she brings ignite it is a much harder lane. If she tries to q on, you can pull her to interrupt it. Try to dodge her parry or bait it because it slows ur attack speed and she can negate ur healing from Q, Ult Damage, and stun u from ur e. Bramble is a very good 1st item.
Gangplank
Poke matchup, you can phase if ud like but I prefer conq(depends on enemy team comp) He has alot of poke and can take u out unexpectedly with his ignite passive. If he gets too cocky you can pull him and ghost to all in.
Gnar
Gnar can poke u down and kite from u easily and all in u with jg ganks with Mega Gnar. Play safe.
Garen
Very easy matchup. Punish him for csing and u beat him 1-5. 6 can be different if he has ignite. Care for his all ins. U can pull him when he qs to disrupt his combo.
Jayce
This truly depends on the enemy player. Jayce is harder to lane against because of his poke and he can unexpectedly burst you down. He also can hit u away in his hammer form. Only all-in him if you for sure can stick on him. Care jg ganks
Jax
With bork he does crazy dmg but you can punish him early. If he tries to e stun you, you can pull him so you are both stun locked in a way. Care for his leap into ur q. Lvl 6 dont underestimate his dmg.
Irelia
punish her for farming early. try to not let her q. Slow pushing can be dangerous as she can easily stack against ranged minions. She can dash into ur q so try to E Q instantly for heals.
Illaoi
Do not let her hit u with her E. She has decent poke early but you should be able to beat her pre 6 if you dont get poked alot. If she hits you with E when she is 6, DO NOT FIGHT HER.

Cassiopeia
ranged matchup, hope for ganks. go phase play safe

Kennen
U can go phase rush or conq depending on enemy team comp. His poke can do alot and his all in can hurt. It should be an even lane or u destroy him. He excels in teamfighting, don't just let ur team die to him.
Kled
Dodge his q because it gives grievous wounds and can hurt ur Q heal. He has 2 dashes if he hits you with it but you can pull him mid dash to cancel it. Care for ganks at 6 with his ult.

U never see Olaf top but he is pretty easy to beat top. Ur all in beats him, you should just punish him hard for csing melee so he is force to cs with q care jg ganks

it really just depends on the singed player but ur all in and ghost matches his speed and destroys him. care for proxy and ganks
Shen
Shen is a team player but he can defeat u in lane. If he tries to taunt u pull him. Care of taunt flash for ganks. If he ws just walk infront of him so he cant get to tower. Pull him out of his ult if u can.
Shaco
Depends on the shaco, bring oracle lens early. He can just blink away and outsmart u but u can just all in him easily and his clone cant outsmart in fights because u can see ur bleed stacks on the original shaco.
Sett
Care for his all in early, he's one of the only tops who can match u in all-ins early. Dont let him stun u with E and try to avoid his true damage W. Dont trade with him because he will always out heal u but you can punish him for trying to farm and all-in him. He can pull u when u q or he can ult so you dont get heal. Try to bait his w before u kill with ur ult.
