Extreme Threats

Ideal Synergies

Tryndamere

Even

You can take exhaust or ghost against him try to proc his r and never use your r when you now that he has ultimate. Buy exe + your q can clear his w slow.
AD dmg

Aatrox

Minor

Watch out for his q1-3 buy exe or fight when you have ignite.
AD dmg

Akali

Minor

You're pretty strong against her, if you space well you're fine but remember this champ is 200 years.
AP dmg

Akshan

Minor

Yo yo
Take second wind against him and wait for his mistakes or just for stridebreaker. Remember that he's r doesn't go through turrets and minions.
AD-True dmg dmg

Darius

Even

He's winning with you almost in every trade but you have your passive so you need to trade with E-W-Q. Remember that your Q cleanse his W slow
AD-True dmg

Camille

Major

She's countering you in short you need to watch out for her Q2(True damage) and then engage + if you go into her Inner w you don't get slowed.
AD-True dmg

Cho'Gath

Even

He's scaling very good so you need to space well when he uses his E and you're fine in 95%.

AP dmg

Dr. Mundo

Minor

Don't fight when he has r or you can go in proc it and go out fast. Anti heal is very good against him.

AP dmg

Fiora

Extreme

Ban her if not you can reset her passive by going far away from her
Wait for her Parade then you can silence her you can trade her with E-W-Q

AD dmg

Gangplank

Major

you can ban if you want to or you can take Second Wind-Doran shield against him and you can buy health regen if you need it + watch out for barrels

AD dmg

Garen

Extreme

2+2=4 Quick maths, if someone flaming you mute him to save your mental health pls
My personal tips to improve your gameplay are: Meditation and taking break after every game from 5 minutes to 10 minutes.

Gnar

Even

I don't have specified strategy for him but i have few tips your Q cleanses his Q but he can slow with his returning q as well so try to dodge it
you can buy rejuvenation bead against him and lastly you can engage on him when he's mega gnar is ending so you when he's close to hanging into normal form
AD-dmg

Gragas

Even

He's pretty tilting but try to predict his E and try to dodge his Q and you'll be fine you can build megatron cloak or hexdrinker if you need it.
AP-dmg

Graves

Major

So his E is scaling armor and cd is getting lower each time he attacks minion or champ so you need time engage perfectly or wait for stridebreaker and abuse your passive-doran's shield and second wind
AD-dmg

Gwen

Even

Try not to fight when she has stacked passive your q cleanses only 1 part of her R and disengage only when she stacked conqueror or if you're confident end her.
AP-dmg

Illaoi

Major

I know i know it's hard but you need to dodge her E i have tactic against her and it's pretty crazy so you're rushing boots of swiftness and zeal and in 90% you will dodge E and after that you can engage and win before lvl6 and try to do short trades after lvl6 and if she's low enough you can go all-in
AD-dmg

Irelia

Extreme

Broken champ isn't it? try to avoid her trading when she's stacked but if you'll play it right you can win trades with her even when she has stacked passive and i now this sounds crazy but its possible remember that her r deals damage when go out of it and if you'll come back in it
AD-dmg

Jax

Even

Start with e and try to time your W right with his E-Stun and after that you can silence him and it should be free when he'll make mistakes

AD-dmg

Jayce

Even

Don't be suprised when he'll deal milions of damage with 1 or 2 items it's one of main characters in arcane so yeah.(STRATEGY or i think it is)-don't get tilted when he's auto-attacking you non-stop and try to farm as best as possible and wait for stridebreaker and then you can run him down almost all the time or you can wait for him to make mistake and misstep and then you can kill him easily also your Q cleanses his Q slow.
mainly AD,AP-dmg

Kayle

Extreme

idk really how to play against it you can call your jgl to help you or try to hide in bushes outside of her vision and try to run her down from there.
mainly AP,AD-dmg

Kennen

Major

He'll poke you a lot and stun as well so mercury treads are very good against him and remember to click your W before stuns
AP-dmg

Kled

Major

His Q has anti-heal so it's a little bit of counter for you so try to dodge the circle whenever his throw it at you + when he's unmounted you can Q-ignite-R in 99% Scenarios

AD-dmg

Malphite

Even

Like before your Q cleanses his Q but it doesn't cancel speed that he gets so you won't catch up to him unless you'll time stridebreaker when he gets the speed and then you can poke him and all-in him or engage next time until you kill him
AP-dmg

Maokai

Even

i don't know much about this matchup but try to time your W when he uses his W(the thing that dashes under you and stuns you) or use your W when he uses his R
AP-dmg

Mordekaiser

Major

try to get lvl2 faster and try to engage
you can win 95% of enagages when he doesn't have his W up even in his cage but either way try to dodge his Isolation Q

Ap-dmg

Nasus

Even

if you'll play it right you can run him down all the time for example you can run him down at lvl1 when he's going to stack your minion go in front of this minion and go like this AA-AA-Q and auto attack until your next Q is up or he gets under his turret or flashes

AD-dmg

Ornn

Major

Max e cause it'll work wonders against him use your W when he uses his W and wait for your heartbound axe or stridebreaker and then you can 99% run them down

AD,AP-dmg

Renekton

Minor

If you time your W right against his stun you should win most of the trades you can rush GW if you want and watch out for his R

AD-dmg

Rengar

Even

buy chain vest as first item(not counting starting items) and then he'll probably ignore you but if he doesn't you can do short trades with him

AD-dmg

Riven

Even

if you dodge Q3 you're automatically win lvl1 fight stack health before lvl6 if you bait her E you can trade her but disengage whenever she uses R

AD-dmg

Sett

Minor

Dodge W(true damage) and time your W right before he uses E and you should win all of the trades

AD-dmg

Shen

Major

max E and time your W perfectly if you want to trade with him or wait for his mistakes or for stridebreaker

AP-dmg

Sion

Tiny

try to get away from his Q and if you'll go in you should win most of the trades.

AD-dmg

Tahm Kench

Even

stand behind your minions to dodge his Q and you can trade with him but try to time your W before he stuns you

AP-dmg

Teemo

Major

Wait for his mistakes and wait for your stridebreaker take doran's shield+second wind+conqueror or phase rush+second wind if you want to stick with him and don't forget to max E

AP-dmg

Trundle

Major

Rush Executioner's calling and try to wait for stridebreaker or heartbound axe and then you can deal some nice damage when you see him use his r(same effect as blade of ruined king passive) you can cleanse his slows and try to escape and wait out until his R ends
Ad-dmg

Urgot

Minor

Try to bait his e and take short trades and until he's 50%-40% go all-in.

AD-dmg

Volibear

Even

His passive works like hextech soul(s10 stattik shiv) so to avoid him breaking your passive stay away from your minions and let him push wave to your turret and then you can safely farm and when you fight try to avoid his W
AP/AD-dmg

Wukong

Even

try to bait his W(clone) and don't forget that his passive grants him in-combat armor and health regen so try to take short trades in the beginning but later when you have stridebreaker(don't use it when he's W is up it has 20-16s cooldown) and then you can easily kill him but don't try to dive him unless you're 100% you can kill him

Yasuo

Minor

It's pretty easy matchup just try to engage when he threw his Q3(his hurricane) and then you can poke him until he's low enough to kill him also remember that his passive shield can decrease your R dmg

AD-dmg

Yone

Major

he's much harder then yasuo same as against yasuo try to avoid his Q3(dash ) and then you can take very short trade and wait for stridebreaker and you can flash his R if you want
Ad-Ap(every second auto-attack) dmg

Yorick

Extreme

Early game lvl1-2 try to harass him as much as possible before he gets his cage and after that there's not much you can do against him unless he gets cocky you probably won't kill him from my own expierence

AD-dmg
