A very annoying matchup. Just try to farm until you outscale him. He can knock you out of stun range if you go in on him. If you don't initiate with Q you can jump back on him if he knocks you away. His poke is going to be a pain, so try to stay a decent distance behind minions.
Teemo
He can be extremely annoying pre-level 6. After you reach level 6, bait out his Q, get 2 stacks on your ult passive, and then all in him. (this works fine if you have trinity and boots)
Swain
He'll bully pretty much all game. The best way to deal with him is to try to bait out his abilities(especially his ult) and then go all in. If he ults, get out unless you're far ahead. It's very important to get treads in this matchup.
Vladimir
Vladimir can be pretty annoying if you let him get ahead. Watch out for the crazy Q damage. Scare him into using his W. You can bully him easily if this is on cooldown. Dodge his E by staying behind minions when he starts to use it.
Nasus
You'd think this is an easy matchup because your E counters pretty much all of his damage, but if he has farm and he can survive your E, he'll start destroying you. It'll be easier if you can get your jungler to get you ahead. A Nasus who can't farm is pretty much useless anyway.
Camille
This is a relatively easy matchup. You out-sustain Camille, so her ultimate isn't very useful if you have more or equal health. Just bully her with your Q, W, then ult passive AA after level 6.
Zed
This is an easy matchup. Charge up your passive at level 1 then go in. This can end up putting you ahead in lane. You also destroy him in pretty much any part of the game. Just press R if he tries to go all in on you and you'll come out on top.
Jax
Nothing to say here. Just a skill matchup.
Pantheon
You won't get hardly any farm in lane and you'll probably give first tower too. Just do everything you can to make it to the late game. Try to farm in the jungle a bit. Depending on the pantheon, you might be able to 1v1 him in lane after you get ult or at level 1. In most cases, you'll just have to leave him alone until late game.
Malphite
He's really annoying in lane because of the constant poke. Keep your lane warded, because you'll likely be killed during ganks. You can 1v1 him later in the game though, so farm as much as possible. You can't really stick to him because he can Q you and run away.
Yasuo
Very easy matchup. Don't fight him at level 1, but once you get sheen you destroy him.
Fiora
This is a skill based matchup that leans toward Jax with the new Fiora nerfs. Make sure she doesn't parry your E and burst her down with your Q, W, Ult Passive, Sheen, AA combo then E and either reactivate before fiora parries or bait it out and walk around for the stun. Watch out for the life steal on her ult. If you have E, you should be fine.
Tryndamere
You'll be in control until level 6. Don't waste your jump because you'll need it to get away if Tryndamere ults. If he wastes his ult, you can bully him until it's back up again. If you reach level 6 first, go all in.
Shaco
He isn't much of a problem to deal with. You just can't really kill him. Make sure you have a sweeper if you do plan on going in on him.
Gangplank
You beat him in most of the game. Your E also blocks his Q, so his only dmg when you have E up is his ult or barrels.
He'll Q you in the early game, which is going to do a lot of damage and put you behind. If you can get jungle pressure during this period, you should be good.
Rumble
Just focus on getting to level 6. After that, it should be easy. Fight him in the minions to make it a bit harder on him.
Darius
Darius bullies you so much in lane that you are pretty much guaranteed to get behind. Let him push you into tower and try to have a ward, minion wave behind you, or flash when you get farm so that you can back off if needed. Try not to waste your Q, as it is your escape. You can actually 1v1 him a bit later in the game if you build right and are able to cs enough.
Renekton
Can be difficult to deal with if he gets fed. Focus on farming and e if he dashes to you. Then fight him later once you have enough items.
Lux
Just try to make it to lv 6 without feeding, then you can zone her away from the minions. If she misses her Q, go all in.
Ziggs
This is a painfully bad matchup. His empowered AAs will put you behind early, then his advantage will make it almost impossible to catch up later.
Jarvan IV
He can be a bit tricky early, but you wreck him after sheen and especially at lv 6.
Xin Zhao
Don't waste your E early, or he can punish you for it. You should still destroy him easily since all of his damage is from auto-attacks(except ult).
Garen
Garen destroys you in pretty much any part of the game unless you build armor. Garen doesn't have much kill potential unless you let him kill you though. Try to farm it out since pretty much anyone is more useful in a group fight than garen.
Heimerdinger
You will barely be able to farm in the beginning(like a lot of other matchups), so try to build some MR early to farm easily. It is possible to go in on him later, but it's kind of risky. Avoid his stun and you should be fine.
