Vayne can poke you down and not let you farm, all tho she's not played top lane that often now.
Quinn
Basically Vayne 2 but with better roam and slightly less poke.
Darius
darius wins like 90% of matchups including garen but if he doesn't have his E up for some reason you can trade with him because your Q removes the slow from his W. i usually take phase rush into this matchup because it allows me to always escape before he gets his 5th bleed stack.
Kayle
Kayle isn't really much of an issue, even tho she's a range champion. tho she most likely won't let you touch her and will keep her distance.
Fiora
Try to bait out her W so you can Q or R her. Also she got a buff and she can poke you down much easier now
Camille
Force trades when she doesn't have her passive up. you can also try trading with her when she uses her Q on a minion and doesn't have her W up
Jax
You can easly win trades with him, but remember that his E błocks your Q
Renekton
he got 2 dashes and a stun. Try to punish him near your wave, and don't get close when his rage bar is red.
Urgot
Bait him into missing his E and then punish him for it.
Cho'Gath
You don't usually win trades, and he's very strong late game. Try to bully him with your jungler
Illaoi
Dodge her E and punish her after. If you trade near your minon wave she's gonna be in trouble.
Teemo
Teemo is now pretty strong but he's still pretty vulnarable to a gank. just make sure your jungler has orcane lens before making a move.
Nasus
You have to bully him, because if you don't he will become w threat late game. Your Q removes his W slow so use that to your advantage. i usually take phase rush into this matchup because it gives 75% slow resistance after it activates and that means you can now start trades with your Q
Sion
Dodge his Q and then punish him.
Hold your Q becsuse he will try to słow you with his E.
Wukong
monkey jump.
monkey deal damage.
monkey escape.
Try to trade with him when he doesn't have his clone up.
Irelia
Irelia has great mobillity and can trade with you easly. Punish her for getting to close when she doesn't have her passive up.
Malphite
He will try to poke you alot but you can use your W to negate the damage and then your Q to break out of the slow.
Gangplank
Same as with malphite but this time his barrels słow you.
Tryndamere
Tryndamere isn't tanky enough to trade with you early, but he can use his R when he sees the animatron of your R, so only use your R when his ult ends. You want to take ignite into him
Riven
A good riven will poke you and then escape. Your position on lane is the key to winning this matchup.
Mordekaiser
His shield is the biggest problem here. Only trade with him when he doesn't have his passive and shield up.
Gnar
Trading with him is almost impossible. You need jungler's help to win this matchup. Gnat can poke you, run away, and out damage you in his big form. Remember about your W
Ornn
Do not stand near his Q and trade with him often.
Poppy
Don't stand near walls and press W after she throws her shield at you.
Aatrox
His Q has to be on cooldown in order for you to trade with him. And even then he can escape pretty easly
Shen
He can't 1v1 you after level 6, and your Q cancels his ultimate.
Olaf
Olaf can't really do anything to you
If you're careful enough.
Run away after a quick trade and remember to dodge his Q.
Akali
Her mobillity is too much for you. But if you manage to close the gap you can win the trade easly.
Rengar
He will sit in the bushes all the Time. In order to trade with him quickly press W and Q when he jumps on you.
Jayce
Watch out for his poke and you'll be fine. He will keep his distance so if you want a kill ask your jungler to help you.
Kled
Kled got a lot of dueling power, but if he misses his Q you can quickly trade with him because you outdamage him. And when he's lizard is gone your R will help you greatly.
Pantheon
Pretty much same thing as with fiora, you need to wait for him to use his E in order to engage.
Maokai
He can't trade with you at all. Watch out for his jungler.
Kennen
he will poke you alot, stun you and win run away if you close the gap. plus his R allows him to duel with you pretty easly. Ask jungler for help and if that doesn't work then he has to make a mistake in order for you to do anything against him. If he uses your E to chase you try to fight back because his greatest escape option is now gone, and keep your W for his stun.
Trundle
Trudne is the God of dueling, all tho he is pretty weak before level 6 don't underestimate him.
Sett
Don't trade with him too long.
Yasuo
His mobillity is pretty high, but as long as you dodge his Q you'll be fine.
Yone
He can trade with you for free. All tho he's very vulnarable to a gank.
Dr. Mundo
Dodge his Q and remember that his R damages him before healing him, so if you can quickly exexute him with your R do it. Also early trades are quite good as long as he doesn't hit you with his clever after.
Rumble
He's very good at poking, but he's very vulnarable to a gank.
Ryze
Ryze top is quite rare but he can poke you quite well while also beign able to escape ganks with his R. He's very squishy tho so if catch him off guard it's over for him.
Singed
DO NOT CHASE HIM.
In order to trade with you he has to use alot of mana and he barerly wins those trades if you don't chase him.
Shaco
Mind game.
He will bait you into his traps and if you fall for the bait you're dead. Also his clone takes increased damage, so always check if it's the Real shsco before using your R.
Volibear
Trading with him is a pain.
It's basically what if udyr was much better at laning and had a cool ult.
Viktor
Play def and beg your jg for help.
Yorick
If you dodge his E he can't do much against you. And if he hits it you can kill all his ghouls with your spin.
Tahm Kench
His shield Let's him duel with you well. Quick trades are what you want to go for. He's vulnarable to a gank but he might try to escape with his R so watch out for that.
