Ideal Synergies

Talon

Extreme

Cancer champ rush start cloth 4 rush armguard try to survive early and dont let him roam for free. You will outscale mid to late game.

Fizz

Extreme

Really difficult matchup try to dodge his e and if he uses e on wave you can try to trade with him. Post 6 he can dive you ever easily but you will be way more valuable in teamfights.

Diana

Extreme

Honestly not much you can do you she outduels you at any point of the game unless you are fed. Try to shove and roam.

Zed

Even

Not a hard matchup as long as you react fast enough to his q and dodge it with your e you will win the lane.

Galio

Major

He can't really kill you in lane if you dodge his e with yours and just farm with q you will be fine but you can't really roam post 6 as he will just follow with his r and mess your whole roam up. Spam ping if he's missing post 6 and just outscale him. Wait for him to use his cc before going in in a teamfight since he wont have any way of peeling for his adc.

Yasuo

Minor

Really easy matchup respect him early game do quick trades. Q a minion then e to your dagger w auto catch w dagger and e behind your wave. Poke him down like this and all in him with ignite when hes below 50% hp. Post 6 bait out his tornado then e behind him when he uses it and burst him down. Try not to get your ult windwalled.

Akali

Major

Pretty hard matchup she will out trade you early on try to poke her down with q and if shes low enough you can all in her. Also you can ult her even if shes in her w.

Sylas

Major

Kind of scary his healing is insane and since he builds protobelt he will be tankier than you. Try to dodge his e and dont try to fight him when he has your ult since thats your only advantage on him.

Veigar

Tiny

Easiest matchup in ever he can't even touch you. Hop on him when he tries to cage you and he's dead.

Vel'Koz

Minor

Really easy to burst him down and you can e behind him if he ults you also try to dodge his e.

Lux

Minor

A smart lux will poke you out with e and hold on to her q try to hop behind her then w and run to the side with the movement speed you get from w she will probably miss her q on you and after that you can kill her.

Orianna

Extreme

Hard kat counter she will bully you in lane all day long and you can't burst her down due to her e and her r cancels yours. Not much you can do look for roams and try to bring value through teamfights.

LeBlanc

Even

Not a bad matchup try to dodge her e and her passive doesn't affect you since your r will hit both her and the clone. She's very squishy so if she messes up at all you can burst her down really fast.

Ahri

Even

Kind of annoying since her e is longer than yours but if she tries to e you within you e range just hop behind her and she will just die. Post 6 its pretty easy for her to get away from you but you will outscale her hard in midgame and you are way more valuable in teamfights than her.
