Malphite

Tips: Scaling page with Conqueror always + TP. Ive had succes with black cleaver rush and LDR rush but its one of the worst matchups possible regardless. Ideally Dodge specially if your team is full AD. You could ban it if Malphite is played a lot in your elo. If you do decide to play it focus on W'ing Q's and rushing Armor pen / Bloodthirster. No bloodthirster = death in every ult specially if AP Malphite.

Hwei

Tips: Very hard matchup, too much range and can fear you when you E in. Would recommend taking TP, rush a bloodthirster and just try and scale and play for mid game fights/lategame. You can W most of their kit but W'ing stuff that isnt ult gets you a free ult in the face. (usually = death when they have 1 item) Would only go for early game kills up to like level 8 unless you are stomping. Once they get 1 to 2 items E'ing in and not w'ing ult = dead.

Viktor

Tips: Must ban in current meta. One of the worst matchups you can possible face + pick rate is fairly high. If you decide to play it, TP + scaling page/second wind dorans shield or Electro + ignite and play very aggro and pray they let you E in. Always rush a bloodthirster to keep up with his poke. His ult cancels your ult. When you E in aggressively start moving away from him to avoid being stunned by his W (AOE circle on the ground). Your only W value is W'ing his Q but he will still get the shield regardless and will be able to empowered auto attack you.

Cho'Gath

Tips: We have no tools to counter health so there isnt really much we can do vs Cho. Prio getting bloodthirster and LDR. Conquerer always + scaling runes as you dont ever intend to ''win'' this lane. Focus on side stepping q's. Dont get baited by rushing anti heal, he heals off the wave not by fighting you.

Yasuo

Tips: You can hit through windwall with MELEE Q/Auto Attack. Focus on hitting him once to get rid of his shield before going for a full trade. Long trades tend to be bad if they have lethal Tempo. Ideally wait with ult until they used windwall. You can W his ranged Q. You can E towards him when he EQ's you to swap places and avoid knockup.

Vex

Tips: Rush a blood thirster, wait for them to waste fear then go in. Can W her Q E and R focus on w'ing the fear ability. Either conqueror scaling page or electrocute to win lane. Free if they waste fear, otherwise you are legit doing nothing waiting for them to use it.

Ahri

Tips: Play this matchup VERY aggressively. E on her or use minions to gapclose, W the charm or q ideally the charm and you already won that trade. I often EQW in and just do a sidestep after if she didn't throw charm yet. Very good lane pre level 6 so go for early game kills.

Aurelion Sol

Tips: The only way to lose this 1v1 is by standing in his laser beam for the full duration. Short trades is key here. Take Electrocute, E Q W auto and walk away behind minions so he cant laser you. Minions are a safety point. Q him when he lasers as its a free hit. Use minions to gapclose. Would rush a BT to be able to tank more of the laser and get more favorable trades. Would heavily suggest playing aggro early letting an asol scale for free is not good.

Katarina

Tips: Avoid standing on daggers always unless you are baiting her to go in. Avoid standing near low health minions so q doesn't hit you in the face. Can W a q to get a favorable trade. If she jumps you and presses w (the dagger on the ground) EQ onto her to get away from it while still damaging her. You usually just outdamage her 1v1 making this matchup very favorable. Can also W like half her ult in teamfights or just in 1v1's to make it an easy 1v1 kill. Always Electro + ignite.

Taliyah

Tips: Not that bad of a matchup 1v1, but the taliyah E that stuns you when you dash is going to be annoying throughout the whole game. Agressive electrocute + ignite try to kill pre level 6. E onto her, sidestep the knockback and W q while you are on top of her. Can often kill her from 40% with a flash combo, shes very squishy.

Akshan

Tips: Electrocute + ignite and play agressively. Focus on W'ing his Q (boomerang) and try to avoid being hit by third auto's for press the attack procs. Can also W his hook to deny him escapes or just block it with your body to keep him in range to 1v1 him.

Akali

Tips: Heavily focus on W'ing her E (the shuriken that lets her dash on you) it does an insane amount of damage. Can W Q's. Matchup is mostly short trades and trying to get ult stacks BEFORE she gets in shroud. So that when u ult her you hit her even when shes in it. Once shes in shroud you cant build stacks. Play cautiously you dont win a straight up 1v1. Bloodthirster rush and Electrocute.

Lissandra

Tips: Not very playable 1v1. You can W her E (the one she uses to reposition herself) making her very immobile. If you are getting a gank try E'ing on to her and Wing this E so she cant escape. Dont stand behind minions as she will extend her q range by hitting them.

Anivia

Tips: Not that bad of a matchup but early game you will rarely have the damage to kill her egg. Can W her Q and E but prio Q. Short trades pre level 6 while w'ing her Q can get you kills. Electro + ignite. Collector or BT rush are both fine here.

Annie

Tips: Rush a BT always. Can win and kill early game but once she gets items she WILL one shot you. Always Electrocute. Can W her Q but it does not actually consume her stun. So she can still can still stun you with her W despite you having blocked the ''q stun''. Keep in mind that after killing her tibbers becomes aggro and runs at you and might kill you. Could opt into barrier + BT rush if you wanna play very safe.

Aurora

Tips: Can W her q's. Bloodthirster Rush + Electrocute always. E Q onto her when possible and W her q. Try to avoid being hit by her passive (i think its a 3 stack ability) Is very fast when she goes stealth very rarely worth chasing.

Azir

Tips: Can W ult but its inconsistent so dont rely on it. Electrocute + BT rush. Would play this very aggro with short trades. Try to avoid long trades if they have lethal tempo. E Q in Auto W and start walking back while auto attacking. Repeat until low enough to all in. Can body block his dash to sometimes stop him from escaping.

Cassiopeia

Tips: Cant E while you are on her E. Can W her E and Q but E will still just fall on the ground underneath her. NEVER trade when u are hit by a Q unless you can kill. Hit by cass q = Walk away. Focus on sidestepping ults. Could take cleanse but id prefer to rely on sidestepping and just take ignite or TP. Can rush BT for safety and sustain or collector and go for all ins.

Diana

Tips: You kinda dont really out damage. Would recommend playing safe mostly unless you got a really good trade. Can W her Q's . Bloodthirster rush to survive. Boneplating is an option but you have to heavily focus on dodging Q's to not waste it. Try to proc their bone plating, watch their passive stacks so u dont go in when its up and dodge/w q's.

Ekko

Tips: Highly depended on what runes they have. If electrocute W'ing Ekko Q makes it hard for them to proc passive. They E on you or you on them W the Q and kite back. Repeat. Hail of blades makes this matchup a lot worse as they can proc passive with just auto's. Would always take Electrocute + Bloodthirster. TP/Ignite both fine. If they have hail of blades E on them to get ''some'' distance and try to avoid getting hit by all 3 hail of blade autos.

Fizz

Tips: Can use your E to get away from his E by E'ing towards minions. Dont ever EQ in if he hasnt used his E yet (the dash that drops down). Try to bully with q's and autos and punish when he wastes E. Can W his ult which makes him lose ALOT of damage. Bloodthirster rush always. I like ignite but u could just take TP or barrier as well. Fizz players will often Q to a minion and ULT mid q to surprise you, be aware of that.

Galio

Tips: Ive had some success with bone plating into Galio. Would always take conquerer + TP and boneplating secondary. Try to avoid being hit by q's (you can w them). Mostly you are just avoiding getting into his taunt range. If he does E in and taunt you. Fight back. Most damage is gone. BT rush into LDR could be fine if their team is very tanky. If squishy team apart from galio BT into collector/IE/LDR is fine.

Irelia

Tips: You have ranged advantage so make sure to auto as much as possible. Be VERY careful when she has max q stacks or close to max, you do not ever really want to fight her when she has it up. Very winnable you can W her E (the root) as long as you are not on the starting point of it, and you can W the R. Would take ignite always and get Anti heal LDR later on. Could opt into bone plating aswell. Would prefer Electrocute but Conqueror is fine too.

Jayce

Tips: They have a lot of damage and can knock you back very easily with their E making trading very hard. Would kinda not play the lane and try to just farm and scale. BUT if you want to play the lane focus heavily on W'ing their E Q combo. Conqueror always and TP + BT rush to stay alive. His Melee Q is AOE so be careful standing close to minions.

Karma

Tips: W her empowered Q's. Often you will EQ in she will W you (the root) and THEN do her empowered Q so dont use W too early. Shouldnt ever really be able to kill you tho specially if you rush BT. Could go aggressive electro + ignite. Or TP / scaling page.

Kassadin

Kayle

Kennen

LeBlanc

Tips: BT Rush always and Electro. Focus on W'ing their Q before they w in, or W'ing a chain to get favorable trades. Keep in mind they get stealth procs when they get very low HP making it very hard for you to kill them. Mostly focus on surviving.

Lux

Tips: Can w everything in her kit besides ult. Would play this lane very aggressive with electro + ignite. E towards minions to get you in melee range with lux and start trading. W'ing their Q or E is usually a decent trade. Can also E towards minions and gap close timed with lux's E so it doesnt hit you, if you then w Q she has 0 spells to hit you with. Bloodthirster rush always to keep up with the poke. Could go collector if you feel like you can just stomp. BUT then you will die in one Q if she has 1 item. If you E in aggressively and W but she doesnt throw Q into the W be ready to try and sidestep it after doing your trade. Very often the trade looks like this: E to a minion, Auto her Q her, W her E, walk up or down to attempt to side step the Q if sidestepped keep auto attacking.

Malzahar

Tips: Decent pre level 6. Can play safe with TP or go ignite and try and kill. Personally would go ignite. Bloodthirster rush always as it lets you sometimes just survive his ult. Try and get rid of his spellshield first with a Q or auto <heavily focus on this. His shield lasts 0.25 seconds after breaking it and gives him 90% damage reduction meaning that if u dont break it before hand and EQW in, you just did 10% damage with EQW. Quicksilver Sash later into the game as a 4th item or earlier but ideally let your supports get Michaels as the item is pretty bad to get. Dont delay core items by buying it.

Mel

Tips: You can actually only half W the ball she sends flying at you. Meaning u wont get hit by the center because you make the ball disappear but the edge of the ball will still hit you no matte what, slowing you and dealing damage. Agressively E in if possible, dont ult if she hasnt used her reflect or you will be hurting yourself more than her. Would rush a BT always and take TP + Scaling page. U dont intend to ''win'' this lane just survive and play for teamfights/late game. Actively look in fights if shes used her reflect ability or not. Can one shot her if its down if u have items.

Naafiri

Neeko

Orianna

Tips: Bloodthirster rush. The biggest part to winning this matchup is E'ing aggressively forward while tanking an Orianna Q. Then W'ing the ball on the way back when she E's herself so you deny her the shield. Keep in mind Wing her q's only STOPS the ball where it hits windwall it doesnt remove it.

Pyke

Tips: Love playing into pyke supports, MANY pykes will agressively dash into you not knowing you can W their dash trail. They will have no mobility left making it a free kill usually. Always prio W'ing E over Q unless being hit by the q puts you in a REALLY bad spot.

Pantheon

Tips: Would recommend starting cloth armor into armor boots into BT rush. This is not a lane you ever win unless they are extremely bad. Focus on surviving and scaling. If you wanna play the lane avoid hitting your combo into his shield. If he wastes Stun and E you can actually win. Can W ranged Q's.

Qiyana

Ryze

Smolder

Tips: Agressively E in and W his Q or W. Can W his ult which is massive value. Would recommend playing aggressively with electro + ignite. Could rush Bloodthirster if you dont feel confident otherwise Collector and try to snowball before he can scale up.

Swain

Tips: Conquerer always as he becomes very tanky. Bloodthirster rush feels very good into Swain. Focus heavily on W'ing his E or just doding it, if he just missed one its time to go in pre level 6. Hard to lose 1v1 when he only has q to press. Get antiheal LDR as a third or 4th item.

Sylas

Tips: Both conqueror and ignite are fine, i always take ignite for antiheal and to win 1v1's. Focus heavily on W'ing his E(the chain) it does the most damage. Can also W his attempt to steal ults from anyone on your team. Dont worry too much about him having Samira ult it barely does any damage on him.

Syndra

Tips: Would play very aggressively with ignite + Electrocute. E start and try to trade level 1, 2. Rush Bloodthirster so you dont get one shot. Can W her E (knockback) but its very inconsistent so u cant rely on it. Wait for her to use E then go in ideally or attempt to W it. Can also W ult defensively. Would go Electrocute + cookies + magical footwear secondary.

Taliyah

Tips: Not that bad of a 1v1 but E hard counters Samira and will be bad for you throughout the whole game. Cant ever really E in if taliyah E is on the ground. Would take Electro+Ignite and play aggressively early. E in, W'Q and try to sidestep their W (knockback).

Twisted Fate

Tips: Straight forward matchup, focus heavily on w'ing his empowered cards (99% gold cards). Electrocute + ignite always and play very aggressively, E start + E in level 1 if possible. All builds are fine into TF would personally go for max damage so Collector into IE.

Talon

Tips: Bloodthirster rush + electrocute/ignite to match aggression. Heavily focus on W'ing his W(the shuriken's he throws) he will have one less passive stack = better trades. Avoid letting him proc passive at all cost. After level 6 prio W'ing his ult. If you are ahead/the aggressor try and get ult stacks before he goes stealth so you can actually ult. Save W for ults and you should most of the time be able to 1v1 him.

Vel'Koz

Tips: Somewhat playable if they dont have barrier if they do i wouldn't recommend trying to win the lane. Rush a bloodthirster. Take scaling page or electro + ignite if you wanna try and win. Can W everything Vel'koz has except ult but would prio his E (the knockup).

Vladimir

Tips: You dont outscale so id play to win the lane early game. Rush a bloodthirster. Take electro + ignite. Dont let him empowered Q you ever. E in when its not empowered. W his E proc electro and walk away or all in if you feel like you're winning. Antiheal LDR as a third item ideally.

Xerath

Tips: Longest poke mage in the game meaning you should rush a Bloodthirster take Teleport/scaling page/second wind/dorans shield. Personally i would still take electrocute and TP and go for an agressive conquerer/domination page so i can atleast still try to win. Focus on Wing his E (the root) or do a sidestep if you used W in the trade after you e'd onto him. Use E on minions as a gap closer if u cant directly. Avoid standing behind low health minions so he doesnt hit you for free while CS'ing. Force him to choose between poking you or last hitting.

Yone

Tips: You can W his Q knockup if you are at the edge of it. (many yones wont expect it) You could also turn that into a trade back W his ranged Q into your own EQ + w hitting him. Try and avoid long trades. If he e's towards you run, last second do a quick short burst trade before he teleports back. This matchup is all about short trades. E Q W in aggressively and run for your life. You dont win a standard 1v1 with lethal tempo + his E + his w shield.

Zed

Tips: Play agressively early game specially level 1 with E start. Focus on dodging q's and Wing if you feel like you are about to be hit by w q's. Hold W when hes 6 to use for q's. Ideally save E aswell when he you think hes going to ult you so you can E away from him. Bloodthirster rush / electro + ignite.

Zoe

Tips: Would be a good matchup but there is a W bug potential where it just doesnt work on Zoe E. Play agressively or insanely passive, focus heavily on W'ing the E and try to avoid standing near walls or in the open. Zoe Q doesnt go through minions but does AOE on impact so dont stand too close to your wave. Electrocute always. If Zoe has 1 item and you dont have BT you die 100 to 0 in one combo.

Morgana

Tips: Rare midlane matchup but a very good one. Focus HEAVILY on W'ing the Q and you should never get 1v1'd. BT rush and Electro. Play as aggressive as possible. Gameplay should be E onto her or a minion to get in rage W her Q (if she didnt use it, do a sidestep). Burst trades with electro until shes low enough for you to kill her.
