Blitzcrank

Extreme

Annoying champion with grab combo.

Pyke

Extreme

Easy matchup until his level 6. Watch your health!

Lux

Extreme

Cancer champ with cc, no cooldowns and a lot of damage. You will win if you dodge her Q and land yours.

Brand

Extreme

A lot of damage + cc. Do not let him get ahead!

Nautilus

Major

His cc combo is annoying, but too obvious, so just watch out.

Morgana

Major

She has cc, but the real threat is her shield. Try to engage when she has cooldown (around 20 seconds).

Senna

Major

Her W is broken and possibly will go through you (riot fix plz), but still she has decent damage and heal. Also watch out for her R when you are low health.

Thresh

Even

Just watch out for his Q to deny his combo.

Yuumi

Tiny

Nami

She can easily engage and has a nice combo with your Q or R.

Jhin

Ideal

Your stun can lead to combo with his W. Also you can help Jhin to secure a kill with his R ulting low health enemy (of cource if Jhin knows perfect timing for a shot)

Ashe

Ideal

Thanks to your R she can easily land her R and make a cc combo with your Q.

Yasuo

Ideal

Your stun is a perfect present for a good Yasuo player. Also your R will help this kamikaze survive dive under enemy turret.

Aphelios

Ezreal

Low

He needs clear shot on enemy to land his Q, but in the same time you need minions to land yours Q. If you see ezreal better pick another support.

Jinx

Kai'Sa

Miss Fortune

Tristana

Better pick Rakan.
