Extreme Major Even Minor Tiny

Show All

None Low Ok Strong Ideal

Extreme Threats

Ideal Synergies

Kayle

Extreme

one of the hardest lanes you can have if you see her just choose someone else or do the fourth ability path

Urgot

Extreme

overall stronger champ go phaserush and try to short trade him till he is in ult range

Sion

Major

go the anti-tank build and you will make him practically useless but he is stronger than you before 6 and after 11 so you have a small window between 6 and 11 to kill probably can sooner as well if you play smart

Vayne

Major

she is kinda a counter but you just need to wait out her ult Q and make sure that when she uses E you press W and you can kinda win the lane but she outscales so dont expect to always win against her

Varus

Major

he does a **** ton of dmg go the anti kayle ability path vs kayle and you might win lane depending on if the varus is good

Trundle

Even

its a 50/50 lane if you play the early game well and dont fight him as much and ask jngl to gank a lot

Tahm Kench

Even

if you make sure to not die early you will win lane and game he is a hyper agro champ so dont force fights and go in only when you ult is up

Teemo

Even

his Q stops your Q so when he casts it just press E and wait it out since your E spins longer than he blinds

Warwick

Even

rush executioners so you have antiheal or fight only when you have ignite and only ignite when he is low since that is when he heals the most

Tryndamere

Even

before 6 you can abuse him but when he gets 6 play more passive since he is just stronger than you overall

Sett

Even

this is the definition of a 50/50 lane because its all just skill here if you play it well its over for him if he plays it well its over for you so this is a skill lane

Gnar

Major

ranged form counters you and because you will most likely be low when he is in melee its just a bad matchup for you

Camille

Major

her passive shield kinda makes your lane unplayable and later on she is a 1v9 monster pretty much shut her down early and you win

Kled

Even

one of the easier lanes still a bit hard because he has 2 healthbars so your ult is a lot weaker but you outdamage him in a pure 1v1

Mordekaiser

Even

if the mord is good your lane is kinda over but you beat him later on

Shyvana

Minor

she deals a lot of dmg has a shield has healing has tankiness but doesnt have mobility so go the second rune page

Cho'Gath

Extreme

his R execute is scarier than your ult so dont randomly fight him after lvl 6 but fight before 6

Darius

Even

you need to outplay him and use your Q after he uses W so you dont get slowed his ult is scary only if he has 5 stacks so leave fight with 4 and come back when the stacks run out

Volibear

Even

you need anti heal and he becomes useless so fight only when ignite is up and ignite at 50% hp not sooner

Pantheon

Even

you win late and have an okay lane just dont let him use you like a punching bag and you win

Malphite

Even

instead of phantom dancer second go lord dominks regards and then go phantom dancer and you win

Yorick

Extreme

this season split pushing is op so perma ban him you win lane but get demolished late

Shen

Minor

he stops auto attacks so you just E when you see him dash and bam he is useless and also use Q and auto attack him if he strikes a ninja pose and it says channeling over his head

Gangplank

Minor

when you see a barrel and hear an explosion insta use W to negate most of the dmg its and easy lane overall

Illaoi

Minor

laning phase will be terrible but as long as you dont int you win late

Singed

Minor

he will try to proxy farm let him and tank the wave outside of turret so he doesnt get free plates

Heimerdinger

Minor

laning phase will feel like being burned alive but after 6 if you play it smart you win

Renekton

Minor

his ult gives him health which buffs your ult when you fight him use W when he uses his first E to negate his W and then use Q and E to deal dmg and silence from Q stops him from using E2 for a second before 6 you kill and after 6 you kill

Aatrox

Minor

same as voli and warwick but he is weaker try to dodge the darker part of his Q since it deals more dmg

K'Sante

Minor

same as malphite but he is a lot weaker his ult makes him lose hp so he kinda counters himself against you

Rumble

Minor

he is very annoying but as long as you make it past the laning phase you win against him use Q on his second E

Akali

Minor

strong in lane weak late so dont fight in lane and you will win late

Olaf

Minor

weak champ in general this season his Q slows you so use Q when he uses Q and you pretty much win

Ornn

Minor

same as k'sante but ornn just has more ways to escape and not die

Ambessa

Minor

easy kills early and after she gets first item go for longer trades

Dr. Mundo

Minor

greed your ult wait for him to ult so he doesnt survive or use Q when he is low and insta ult

Gwen

Minor

she is very weak this season so its easy to beat her in lane and late

Riven

Minor

she is one of the strongest lvl1 champs but she is weak lvl 2 and 3 so you can abuse her then and if you get a kill on her you win lane because she is weak when she is behind

Yasuo

Minor

this lane is tricky but its mostly garen sided bait his ult and escape as soon as you can after that you pretty much win since he lost his win con

Kennen

Minor

if you do the ability path against hard cc you just win there is nothing more to it

Fiora

Minor

she is a very strong champ so play smart and wait for her to use her W before you ult

Nasus

Tiny

legit the easiest lane just press Q when he presses W and you negate his ability that costs 75 mana for 0 mana and you get a kill angle fight with him as much as you can so he doest stack and dont hard push so he is forced to be outside of tower to farm
