Yorick
Just kill yourself, this matchup pisses me off a lot. Farm and don't die, avoid trading and being focused by his minions.
Yuumi
Can help you catchup with the enemy team, pretty much unkillable when she's on you

Champion Build Guide
I'm a top lane main and I play the most Illaoi, but I also play Pantheon, Shen, Aatrox, Urgot, Fiora, Nasus, Darius, Mordekaiser or Sett. And I started playing Gwen which I really enjoyed so I'm maining her as well right now, I plan to do a guide on her very soon.
Try to use your passive on walls and do a barrier on each side of the lane so you will always have a tentacle ready for battle.
Avoid trading before lvl 6 / harass with your E / basic combo
Don't waste too much mana on the vessel since early levels you will not be able to destroy it.
Bait the most enemies on you that you can, this will allow you to pull off big sustain thanks to your ultimate and Q spell.
The basic: E => Q => (spam W) => Q => keep going.
Post 6 if ganked: => E(on the jungler since your laner will most likely have minions hiding him) => W => R => W => Q => W => spam W/Q until everyone's dead, don't hesitate to E someone else when you get the spell back.
Advanced, if you are in a siege situation (defense or attack and you want to pull off a play for your teammates => use your ultimate and while you are in the air flash in the middle of them
So: R => Flash => W => E => spam Q and W
