Lands charm = death
Stay behind minions and poke until you can give a solid engage. EWQ combo then back until you can finish kill.
Akali
can land abilities in smokescreen, poke pre 6, then make sure you play back and farm from a distance unless you've gained a large lead. your range> her burst.
Anivia
Easy lane, hard to kill. poke to death. stun when she ultis to deny cs
Annie
if you don't use your range you die. Stay away.
Aurelion Sol
EZ. just poke and engage, when stars go wider, get in close, your cd's are lower so you take as little damage as possible while minimizing an escape from him
Azir
Soldiers give azir close to equal range. always get out of range of soldiers. W when he dashes to you and run out of soldier range before using E. Outscales you.
Brand
crazy burst damage and hard to gank post 6. if you get an early lead it's gg but same goes for him.
Cassiopeia
no range loses to massive range. Easy win.
Cho'Gath
poke out, avoid q
Corki
poke out, keep range.
Diana
High mobility high damage. play safe and wait for ganks, farm your self to power poke pre lvl 3 to give yourself a small safety net.
Ekko
high mobility, stun/shield/ high burst damage, huge heal potential. Absolute cancer. a good ekko will win lane but lose late vs a good Xerath. A bad ekko will lose game for his team pre 6.
Fiddlesticks
poke so he heals on minions, then poke after heal to negate the heal. You have better mana sustain and better cds
Fizz
Not a real champ, riot literally trolling by allowing this champ. Dodge.
Heimerdinger
no damage without turrets, poke him and kill turrets, you'll be fine. farm to win
Irelia
you dominate this matchup, your poke outmatches her early and she won't be able to compete if you dodge stun.
Karthus
your range > his range
Your damage > his damage
Your scale > his scale
Your poke > his poke
His ult = your ult.
don't get close and enjoy your free win.
Kassadin
game goes post 30 mins and every kassadin turns into faker, win early or dodge.
Katarina
Dodge. Not a real champ.
Kog'Maw
enjoy your free win.
LeBlanc
her mobility is also her engage, if she uses w to cs, q her return spot, free poke = free win in xerath lanes.
Lillia
xerath is low mobility, you go to sleep you die.
Lux
even matchup, just poke and avoid poke you have better mana sustain she has higher burst.
Malzahar
keep the shield down with constant poke and you'll win lane.
Morgana
dodge q win lane
don't dodge q, w q e and walk out of pool and her ulti
win lane.
Neeko
her cc is detrimental to you and she outscales you. play safe.
Nocturne
bait spell shield with w and then poke with q or stun with e. Never stun as he ults as it will be blocked, w yourself then e
Nunu & Willump
high heal high speed high damage. New nunu is cancer nunu. Poke and get ganks from jungler.
Orianna
spells hurt and have good range, she can out damage in trades if your not careful. Bullying can be difficult. farm and poke when you can.
Qiyana
high mobility and damage with an invis. poke and keep safe.
Pyke
he lands q post 6 = watching a grey screen. he can heal most of your damage with his w and he is perfect against your low mobility. if he falls behind pre 6 he isn't behind post 6.
Ryze
outscales you. can poke out but a good ryze will sustain and match you. Farm lane
Syndra
your dodging spells in this matchup as much as they are. dodge q dodge stun. If more than 2 orbs on board/ back up. Don't get bursted by her ulti. Early zhonya's is a must
Twisted Fate
you can follow without following post 6. ulti from jungle to support, you'll do just as much damage as tf.
Veigar
if you don't get stunned and can dodge w you win. play aggressive pre 6 if veigar falls behind he can't catch up.
Vel'Koz
poke vs poke. better sidestepper wins.
Viktor
dodge laser you win. you don't you lose. better sidestepper wins.
Vladimir
annoying sustain but can easily outpoke to force a back. full combos after he q's early can help you win lane easily.
Xerath
better sidestepper wins. goodluck
Zed
you lose post 6. dodge.
Ziggs
poke and win. easy lane.
Zilean
lands double bomb a couple times and youre in trouble. otherwise play as normal and enjoy a free win.
Zoe
absolutely disgusting damage. If she lands sleep, have fun watching a grey screen. Dodge at all costs. farm. poking is risking post 3.
Zyra
plants suck but you have better range and can win this matchup with good poke and consistent damage.
