Take Celerity as one of your runes. and consider swiftness boots. Stay behind minions and treat every bush that's unwarded as if he's there. If he can't land a hook he's uselless.
If it looks like he'll reach level 2 before you immediately back off from the minions and ping for your ADC to do the same, better to give him wave control than to die to him.
Alistar
Take Guardian. Really strong engage but if you keep him at range with your poke he can't do much. If he engages onto you try to bubble his ADC.
Amumu
Alistar but scarier. Ward well and try to not let him get in the middle of your team if you decide to teamfight. Take Guardian.
Ashe
Annoying poke bot with strong engage post 6. Can't W you behind your minions. Aery with celerity is a safe bet.
Bard
Either he's a god or he's garbage. Consider Guardian. Ward well and ping when he vanishes. Try not to stand too close to your ADC or he might stun you both.
Brand
Not really scary if you know how to deal with him. Aery or electrocute with celerity. He's weak level 1, try to bait his W out then poke him. If he can't combo you and you get the bounce from W you'll win basically every trade. Don't facecheck things when he's around or you'll be incinerated.
Braum
He really can't do much. Aery or Guardian are both fine. If he's with a Lucian then 100% take Guardian. Careful of him surprising you with an all-in with his W. Wait out his E before ulting.
Janna
Really annoying poke and slows. Aery or elec with celerity work well. She's mostly a disengage bot though. Do your best to dodge her tornados.
Karma
Really strong poke with decent engage and peel, Aery or elec work well. She can't Q you if you're behind minions.
Leona
One of the closest things Nami has to a counter. Take Guardian. If she's going to hit level 2 before you, back off and ping ADC to do the same. She can't do much to you if you're under your turret. Always respect her engage power and try to stun her ADC if she goes for you or yours.
Lulu
annoying *** hamster
Aery or Electrocute.
Really good peel and buffs, no sustain though. Poke her *** and try to juke her Qs.
Lux
Good poke, annoying burst. Don't facecheck **** and ward well. Aery or Elec with celerity. Don't stand too close to your ADC or you'll both get hit by her spells.
Maokai
AP Maokais are useless. Guardian. If he starts E level 1 poke the hell out of him and his ADC. If he picks Q do the same but be cautious about it. If he levelled W, respect his engage threat. Other than that he's more or less Treeona. CC his ADC if he engages.
Miss Fortune
Annoying poke bot. Aery/Elec with celerity. Don't stand behind low HP minions if you can help it. High damage but 0 sustain.
Morgana
If she can hit Qs she's a problem. If she can't then she's a poke bot with a shield. Pick runes according to your preference/ADC, consider taking Celerity.
Like a mix of Leona and Blitzcrank. Guardian. He can't hook you if you're behind a minion. Good Nautiluses will still E you though then try to hook you. Take celerity and dodge his Q's if you can. Post 6 be careful of his ult. CC his ADC if he engages.
Pantheon
PURE ****ING HATRED
Take guardian.
Ward lane brush.
Play VERY defensively and cautiously. If he can't get a kill early he'll be a stunbot late.
Concede the wave and lane to him if needed, better than letting him kill you.
Spam ping when he goes missing, when he hits 6 and if you see him ulting. Helps to ping danger if you think he's going to ult somewhere.
Pyke
Not actually that scary. Guardian with celerity. Ask your ADC to take exhaust/ignite while you take the other. Ward lane brush.
If you see him charging up a hook after level 2, bubble him.
If he successfully hooks one of you, bubble his ADC and exhaust-ignite, you can turn it around and potentially even score a double for your team. Respect his execute post 6. Spam ping when he roams.
Rakan
If he's with Xayah he's a major threat, otherwise he's not too bad. Guardian with celerity.
Respect his engage power and be very careful to not misposition in lane, if you go too far and he's good you'll be seeing grey a lot.
Don't stnad too close to your ADC or he can easily hit you both with his W.
Rell
Leona with a horse, less scary though with how telegraphed her engage is. Guardian. CC her ADC if she engages.
Renata Glasc
Mommy? Sorry. Mommy? Sorry.
Aery/Guardian with celerity
She's got good poke with E and decent engage with her Q, otherwise not that scary tbh. Be wary of her W.
Senna
Not a fan of her.
Aery/Electrocute with celerity.
She's got good CC, can't hit behind minions with it though. Good damage she can hit behind minions with, try not to let her proc her passive.
Sett
Leona with more damage. Guardian. Consider celerity to kite him. Respect his E. Poke the **** out of him and dodge the center of his W. Try to not let him ungabunga you into his tower with flash ult.
Shaco
It's free real estate.
Any runes.
Take smite with flash.
Run to lane brush, start recalling at 00:52. Place ward in middle brush when your recall is nearly done. Swap wards for lens and leash if needed. If he tries ****, sweep and smite.
Sona
Really annoying poke, can't do much if you get W bounces though. Aery/Electrocute.
If you can stun her she's as good as dead. Careful of her ult post 6.
Soraka
If she's good she's going to be extremely annoying. Aery/Electrocute with celerity.
She can't heal her ADC level 1, take advantage of this.
No hard CC outside her E root.
If you stun her she's most likely dead. Poke her out of lane then poke her ADC, otherwise she'll just heal them.
Seraphine
Sona but with more damage. Aery/Electrocute with celerity. Respect her E level 2 and try to poke her. If you can aovid teamfights then do so.
Swain
Edgar Allan Paininthe***.
Guardian with celerity.
His E can't root you if it blows up on your minions first. CC his ADC if one of you gets rooted. Stay away from him after 6 if he ults.
Tahm Kench
Very strong engage and annoying poke for tank standards. Otherwise not much of a problem. Guardian with celerity. If you see him using W try to evade. If he does engage, CC his adc.
Taric
Outrageous. Aery or Guardian, consider celerity. Kite him and he's useless.
Thresh
Very skill based. Guardian with celerity. Left click him level 1 to check if he levelled Q or E. If he levelled Q then poke him from behind your minions. If he levelled E poke him using the lane brush and be wary of him possibly flashing to E you towards him. Don't facecheck things and be careful if you see him seemingly randomly throw his lantern into fog of war, might be calling his jungler.
Twitch
annoying *** cheese rat.
Aery or electrocute.
Don't take extended trades with him. W then walk away. Spam ping if he roams and buy lots of control wards.
Veigar
Skilless. Aery/electrocute with Celerity. Poke his sustainless *** out of lane, try not to get bursted. Respect his ult's power.
Vel'Koz
Lux with even less utility. Aery with celerity. Dodge his ****, bubble him and get him lit.
Viego
Isolde isn't here you ****
Xerath
See Vel'Koz
Yuumi
HEY MA THERE'S A WEIRD LOOKING CAT OUTSIDE
Aery/Electrocute, consider celerity.
Can't Q you if you're within minions. If she tries to proc her passive on you, poke her back with W before she gets the chance. CC her ADC and she'll be in trouble. CC her and she's dead.
Annoying heals lategame. Respect her ult.
Yasuo
If you're not used to playing against Yasuo bot you could be in trouble. Don't fight him within your minions as he'll be able to easily dash around and auto you to death. Wait for him to use his windwall before you ult or Q. Pop his passive shield with autos. Let him and his support get control of the wave level 1 if necessary.
Zilean
Either a god or trash. Any runes with celerity. Try to not get double bombed. If he does stun one of you, try to stun his ADC. Wait out his ult if he uses it. Careful of his point and click slow.
Zyra
Very, VERY strong poke.
Aery or elec, consider celerity.
She has no sustain and is very squishy, W her if you can. Extreme threat if she has electrocute. Respect the root or become plant food.
Draven
Misposition for a moment and he's 300 gold richer. Be very careful with positioning. Don't trade autos, you'll never win, only trade with W then back off. Aim your bubbles where his axes will land and he'l leither have to lose some damage or get stunned and possibly die
Akshan
Loves to take short bursty trades. Good to take elec with. E him and wathc the enemy adc die.
Aphelios
If he's good you're most likely going to win. If he's bad you're down an ally.
Ashe
Her slows make it nice and easy to land your bubble, and you've got a nasty cc ahin with your ults and your bubble.
Caitlyn
You're both extremely good at trading. If you bubble someone she can follow up with a trap. If you see her channeling ult, E her. If an enemy mispositions, E her and run them down.
Diana
Not likely to see her as a botlaner, but your E combines with her..basically everything is very storng, especially with mandate.
Draven
Halal Draven like E
Halal Draven like burst
Halal Draven good with Electrocute
Halal Draven very oppressive with Nami
If you bubble someone they'll die to him
Fizz
Fizz and Nami, rulers of the sea.
If you've got a FIzz bot, respect the fact he isn't a champ til level 3 and do your best to help him farm. Good with electrocute.
Jhin
He keeps it taco.
Try to buff his fourth shot.
If he ults E him.
If you W someone he can easily follow up with his W, leading to an easy Q and most likely a kill.
Jinx
Lots of damage, likes enchanters and your E can help her run people down. Remember her main goal is to proc her passive, so help her focus someone down.
Kai'Sa
Absolutely lethal if she's good. Buff her if you see her about to fire W. If you can stun someone she'll probably melt them.
Kalista
Your E works really well with her. If she's bad you're missing a teammate though. If she ults you can throw yourself into the enemy team and also ult, leading to an easy engage.
Kindred
Don't really see her bot. But her mobility combined with your E can lead to her very easily mowing people down.
Kog'Maw
Protect the Kog'maw, watch him Pog'maw. Your E works well with his ult and let's him keep people in his W range for longer.
Miss Fortune
She has a lot of poke, you have a lot of poke. E her when she Es. Post 6 your kill potential with your ults is DISGUSTING.
Nami
🐟
Nilah
She likes champs with heals a lot. The slow from your E can help her keep people in her range.
Quinn
Unlikely to see her bot, but your E combined with her E makes for nasty burst trades.
Samira
You can really easily start an all-in, whcih she absolutely loves. Buff her with E and she'll be a monster.
Senna
Only champ I'm not really a fan of laning with. Still good though. Her Q slow can make it easy to land your Q, especially if you E her beforehand. Good cc chain with W too. E her if she ults.
Sivir
Her Q hurts a hell of a lot more with your E. She can protect herself with spellshield too. Combine her W with your E and that's a lot of aoe magic damage.
Tristana
You stun them, she guns them. Your E works nicely with her too.
Twitch
Disgusting with electrocute. E him and watch him melt someone.
Varus
Buff him whenever he casts an ability. Really good poke and good cc with his ult. The slow from his E combined with yours can lead to some easy bubbles.
Vayne
Your E goes well with her 3 hit passive. You can also peel for her quite well.
Xayah
You e her, she autos people, they get slowed. She roots them, you stun them, you kill them.
Yasuo
He can ult off your Q, and you give him the sustain he needs to actually do stuff in botlane. Buff him when he dashes in.
Zeri
She prefers shields rather than heals. Your passive is good for her though.
Ziggs
E him when he casts an ability. You've got disgusting poke together.

Zeri

Ziggs
E him when he casts an ability. You've got disgusting poke together.
You can E yourself to make landing your Q easier.
You can throw your Q on top of someone you ulted for a guaranteed stun.
If you want to damage multiple enemies with one W cast, make sure you W an enemy.
If you want to heal multiple people with one W cast, make sure you W an ally.
Your W stops getting weaker on bounces once you have 200 AP.
If you're struggling to land Q try aiming slightly behind your target so they might walk into it.
Make sure to be AAing people when you're tradinng/all-inning, it's not much damage but it can mean the difference between a won trade/a kill and a lost trade/a death.
Don't rely on only W for poke or you'll quickly go OOM. Make use of your Es and autos too.
You can selfcast E and hit yourself with bubbles to move around the map faster.
If you or your ADC get engaged on, try to Q the enemy carry. They'll usually walk forward.
If you cast W on yourself it'll have a slightly higher range for its first bounce (to an enemy)
Nami's Powerspikes
Nami's powerspikes are at level 1, 2, 3, 6 and mythic.
Level 1 - Nami has one of the strongest level 1s of any enchanter with her W. You can poke AND sustain yourself with one ability.
Level 2 - Nami's all in power gets big once she has Q. If you level E instead then you have stronger trades.
Level 3 - With all 3 of her basic abilities unlocked Nami is extremely good at both trading and all-ins. She can E herself to make her trades stronger or slow someone so she can stun them with Q, or she can E her ADC to help them deal more damage and potentially run someone down.
Level 6 - Nami's ultimate is extremely strong, it can be used as both engage or disengage. As soon as you level it you've got added kill-threat in lane.
Mythic (Mandate) - With Mandate Nami can enable her allies to do ridiculous damage by buffing them with E.
Mythic (Shurelyas) - Infinite speed.
Mythic (Moonstone) - Not as big of a powerspike compared to the other 2.
Mythic (Luden's) - A lot more damage.
Mythic (Everfrost) - Even more crowd control.
Jungler Tracking
To track the enemy jungler for their first few camps to tell if they're going to gank you or not:
Look at their champ, are they an early ganker like Shaco, or a farmer like Fiddle?
Look at top lane. Is it Melee vs Melee? If yes, the enemy jungler is more likely to path up to top.
Is it ranged vs melee? IF yes and the ranged champ is on your team, the enemy jungler is more likely to path up.
Does the enemy jungler cast a lot of spells? if yes there's a decent chance they'll start blue and path towards their red buff.
Look at the botlane matchup. Is the enemy duo something esay and good to gank for (like Samira-Naut) or will ganking for them likely not lead to much? (like Vayne-Soraka)
