Take ghost and ignite/tp.
You can bully him before Lv6, and hopefully kill him with ignite if he messes up. But a good Nasus will play safe and max his E, and after Level 6, you will get stat-checked and lose every 1v1. Have your jungler camp him if possible, otherwise he just outscales HARD.
Tahm Kench
No winning vs this guy 1v1. Conq Scorch build with BORK Cleaver rush is best chance. Maybe get a serpent's fang late game (if you survive that long)
Dr. Mundo
You can dominate him early. Hide behind your wave and don't let him Q you for free. After Lv6, he will start dominating. Get early executioners. Consider building Mortal Reminder later.
Maokai
Rare Matchup, but he absolutely crushes you later. Just abuse him early before he gets tanky. Consider Cleaver and BORK.
Illaoi
This matchup is brutal. In lane, your one job is to dodge her E or hide behind your minions so she cannot hit it. If she wastes it, you can go in on her. Post-6, you literally can't 1v1 her. If she presses R, get away from her.
Zac
Rare matchup, but brutal. Winnable pre-6. Take PTA. You need antiheal and BORK. Get BORK first or second item. He will outheal and take negative damage from your kit.
Ornn
Tanks! You are screwed!
Save your E for his brittle proc on his autos. Rush Cleaver.
Yorick
Mr. Splitpush will make your life a nightmare. If he lands E on you, you get completely crushed. You will never be able to match his splitpush unless you have a big lead early. Try to save your W to escape his cage, but a good yorick will stand close to you so you remain trapped.
Gragas
Plap plap plap. He pokes a lot, can outmaneuver you, has sustain and his E cancels your W. Save your W until after he E's.
Gangplank
His oranges can nullify your engage on him. He outranges you and pokes better than you. Because of this, you will want to stick on him and commit to your engages. Save your E for his barrels.
Malphite
He will literally just stack armor and make your life hell. Rush Cleaver and take scorch. Keep spamming your Q on him in-lane and keep his passive shield down. Try to build an early lead. You will barely do damage to him if you don't get ahead. Mid-game, you will be useless vs him, but you do outscale.
Olaf
Take Ghost Ignite. You can stomp him hard pre-6. Try to get him as low as you can. Get Steelcaps and executioners. When he Ults at you, use your ghost to run and wait it out, and get ready to re-engage.
Fiora
A good Fiora will never lose to Panth. Her W parry counters your W, so you need to bait her to use it. Never blindly engage onto her with W, you WILL lose. Back off and reset your vitals if she will be able to easily proc it. When she ults, hug walls to stop her from proccing all 4 vitals on you. Mid-late game, if you don't have a massive lead, you will probably lose the 1v1 in the sidelane. Try to group with your team when possible.
Mordekaiser
Maybe get an early hexdrinker. Stand with your wave to not let his Q crit on you. Just poke him down. He will run you down with rylais and statcheck you after level 6,
Kled
This guy is a MENACE. THe goal is to get him to ALMOST dismount, but don't dismount him until all your abilities are up and you're ready to full combo. When you're ready, pop Skarl with your Q, and then follow up with your W after he's dismounted. Try to E his Empowered W-autos.
Karma
Consider taking ghost + tp. Get early Serpents. She will perma harass you in lane. Commit to your all-ins. You will probably lose 1v1 to her, so look for roam opportunities and beg your jungler!
Cho'Gath
Take ignite and hope to snowball early. He hard outscales you and counters your kit. If you don't get a lead early, its over. Get BORK and Cleaver.
Warwick
He heals a ton! Take ignite and get early executioners! Consider building Mortal Reminder later.
Cassiopeia
Her ground counters your W engage. Your W is also very predictable, she will ult you in the face while you are dashing. She will also perma harass you.
Sion
Maybe get an early cull if he starts proxying. Ingenious CD Build will work best. Get a BORK 4th item after eclipse+sundered+cleaver. He Hard outscales you, and he will make your life hell.
Swain
Rare pick, but he will get very tanky and be hard to kill. Get Antiheal and armor pen.
Wukong
Post-6, his R will cancel your W. Impossible to engage on. Try to build a lead pre-6.
Urgot
Just harass him with Q, and dodge his E flip. If you get flipped, you lose. Play with your range advantage. You can technically E his R, but that is impossible to predict.
Trundle
Take Ignite. You win early pre-6. You will be forced to match his splitpush, meaning you can't help your team much, otherwise your whole base is gone. Try to get an early lead. Build more burst damage than bruiser. He will win 1v1 vs you even if he's down a whole item mid-late game.
Poppy
She can cancel your W, and make it impossible for you to jump on her. Hold your W until she wastes her W. Never engage with W when you think her W is up.
Irelia
Respect her stronger Level 1. If she can easily stack her passive on the wave, you should probably back off. Dodge her E. Maybe rush steelcaps early.
Riven
She will take ignite, so you should take ignite to match her. You can win 1v1 pre-6 easily. Save your E for her Q3 or her ult. When she hits 6, be careful of her burst damage.
Udyr
Udyr is VERY strong Season14. Just harass with Q. Careful of his liandries and/or riftmaker powerspikes. He will probably build tank, if he does, rush cleaver.
Camille
Rumble
Tryndamere
Early matchup pre-6. Try to get a sizable lead. Rush Steelcaps. After 6, he will win 1v1 if you dont have a lead. He will Perma splitpush and try to take towers, so you will need to match him. Consider getting a GA to match his R, or just go bruiser build with Steraks and Deaths Dance to outsustain his R. Or maybe get a frozen heart or frostfire to make his life hell!
Volibear
Akali
Take PTA. Skill matchup, slightly panth favored. E her E2.
Aatrox
Skill Matchup, but slightly panth favored pre-6. Take Ignite.
Sidestep his Q1, W onto him on his Q2, and E his Q3.
Rinse and repeat. Be careful of his Lv6 powerspike.
Gwen
K'Sante
Your Q has more range than his. Just spam poke him. Be carful of his Lv6 spike. Rush cleaver. Easy matchup.
Darius
Just Spam poke him with Q. When he Q's, W onto him to avoid him healing and stacking. Post-6, save your E for his R.
Singed
Take ghost. Can be hard if he fights you in-lane. Start Cull and just poke him and hope he proxies so you can just farm. Just be careful of his tankiness post-6. Maybe get swiftness boots for his Rylais. You can also consider going phase rush build.
Shen
You can stomp him 1v1. Just keep poking him with Q and don't let him Auto you. Don't waste your empowered W on him, he will block it with his W. The issue is that his roams can have more impact than yours. You can try to follow his roams, or you can just take free platings if he ults anywhere.
Vayne
Ranged toplaners q-q.
Take PTA and Ignite. Get some lethality. Respect her level 1 and 2. After level 3, you can All-in. Use your E to block her PTA and passive proc. Her E can cancel your W, so keep that in mind.
Akshan
Garen
Keep poking him with Q to keep his passive down. Take scorch to help keep his passive down. E his R. A good garen will will Q-R instantly, not letting you E it.
Jax
When he E's and Q's onto you, do a non-empowered W on him and walk out of the stun radius. Don't auto him at all, just back off till it runs out. Don't empower W him when he has his E, he will block it. If you have full stacks and he E's onto you, use your E to block it and space properly.
Jayce
Kayle
Abuse her weak early game. Take PTA and ignite. If she scales to late game, she will be a problem.
Kennen
Quinn
Really squishy, you can burst. Waitfor level 2/3 to engage. Only challenge is that her E can cancel your W. COnsider Edge of Night early.
Renekton
Just keep poking. Really easy pre-6. Try to get an early kill. E his empowered W autos.
Sett
Respect level 1-2 and keep distance. He will outsmacc you. Keep poking him with Q. Save your E for his W. Don't let him hit you with his E stun, position so he cant, otherwise his W will probably connect since u cant E while cc'd
Teemo
Take PTA and ignite. Respect his poke. He can blind you when you try to empower W him, so make him waste it before engaging. Get early mercs and sweeper.
Vladimir
Don't W onto him when his pool is up. It will cancel your W. Keep poking and hide behind your minions. Dont let him Empower Q you.
Yone
Respect him level 1 and 2. Don't wlak up when he has his nade partially or full charged. Burst him Lvl 3. Take PTA and ignite. Make sure to proc his boneplating first.
Lucian
Sylas
Take PTA and ignite. CRUSH HIM! E when he chains onto you to block his whole burst combo. He has no combat ult to steal from you, so you can crush him easily.
Yasuo
Pop his passive shield with Q. Burst him with W while his passive is down. Consider getting Serpents if he builds shieldbow.
