This matchup is unplayable you can't do anything I don't ban him since no one plays him but if he's picked I just dodge.
Tryndamere
Pre 6 he's manageable but after level 6 and a few items, you get one shot and dived constantly without being able to kite because of his w and e.
Irelia
Go ignite to stop her from healing and pressure her early game with q spam and barrels if you can try to get kills on her when she is low and she gets huge power spike with level 6 but if you're ahead in lane and play smart with passive and barrels you should come out on top and try to have a barrel at your feet always after she got lvl 6
Azir
if the azir is in any way competent he will never allow you to get barrels with his instant auto attacks or soldiers and he will pressure you early game with soldiers stopping you from farming safely and he also scales really hard and denies your early game pressure so if someone picks azir which is very rare I usually dodge.
Yasuo
Spam q and barrels in lane and if he gets too close use your passive he can't match your damage output and I suggest going ignite and trying to kill him early and you can also w his ultimate which is very useful although be careful of him late game since well he is yasuo late game.
Dr. Mundo
He is very tanky but your true damage passive and barrels will melt through his healthbar so pressure him early and if you get into a fight make sure to proc passives on him and use ignite when he uses his ultimate to stop his healing,
Kassadin
Before lvl 6 kassadin is a joke and if you just spam q and barrels he will die in an instant but make sure to pressure him throughout the game to stop him from getting to lvl 16 as early as possible.
Jayce
Pre lvl 6 is very hard since he can pressure you with his autos and high damage but lvl 6 it becomes a bit more manageable since he has no ultimate and you do so the lane gets a bit easier but personally I hate this matchup since the early game feels impossible against a good Jayce.
Yone
Its like the yas matchup but lvl 6 is a bit scarier so just pressure him early get sheen and try to go for kills.
Akshan
Very hard to land barrels since you need to q or auto in between his autos which feels nigh impossible and his shield and good early game he can also roam early game and impact the map way more than you can.
Zoe
Zoe can poke you pretty bad but if you just w her sleep you probably wont die in lane and you can still farm pretty safely while harassing her with qs and barrels so overall its a pretty even matchup.
Twisted Fate
TF poses no threat to you since he does little damage and you can orange his yellow card which makes him pretty useless but after lvl 6 he'll rarely be in lane so if he roams you can r to help your team as well.
Zed
You can abuse him early since he is melee and have prio in lane with your superior range and damage early but when he reaches level 6 he becomes deadlier but if he uses r on you just put a barrel at your feet and when he comes back blow his ass up.
Mordekaiser
his early game is worse than yours due to his high cooldowns and lack of poke and if he chooses to ult you orange will take you out of his ultimate.
Gragas
Gragas is very tanky and has a good amount of poke with his q and collectively his dash and natural tankiness make him very hard to kill but as long as you respect his ult you probably won't die unless you get ulted into tower or if he has a lot of ap items.
Vladimir
Vlad is practically unkillable unless it's very early game due to his healing and w which makes him untargettable and can easily be used to dodge barrels he also scales really hard into the late game and kill you very easily then but in the early game he has low damage and won't be able to kill you easily without ganks.
Heimerdinger
Heimerdinger has insane zoning with his turrets and makes it very hard for you to poke him without losing a lot of your own hp but with his low hp if you can land a few barrels and qs you can try to all in with flash passive and ignite to try and kill him but it is very risky since if he doesn't die you probably will
Amumu
His R is perfect set up for barrels and your R is really good with it too.
Jarvan IV
His R is really good set up for barrels and goes well with your R.
Leona
She has really good engage and can cc a target for a while which allows you to get good barrels even early game.
Yuumi
She has great healing and her adaptive damage boost gives you a lot of extra damage with barrels and can set up barrels with her ultimate.
