Extreme Threats

Ideal Synergies

Aatrox

Extreme

absolutly no fun matchup

Ahri

Even

Depends on your q hitrate

Akali

Minor

i personally like this matchup but after 6 it gets pretty tricky a bit like Kassadin matchup

Anivia

Even

pure farm lane but she has good gank setup with her w behind you

Aurelion Sol

Major

it just feels like youre doing nothing all game and he wins every lane , he has no killpressure on you but just his roams make the game feel unplayable

Azir

Major

ih azir plays correct you just have tiny windows to trade back to his heavy poke

Cassiopeia

Even

with q nerfs this matchup is skillbased again but she can run you down

Corki

Minor

Has anyone ever seen Corki ?

Diana

Extreme

Have Fun after 6

Ekko

Extreme

He will definitly all in you lv2 , matchup can swing pretty much but in pure 1v1 that champ is really hard to kill

Fizz

Major

a little bit like poor mans ekko just outpoke him and if he miss r youre good to go

Galio

Major

YAY Ap Galio is Back who doenst like tanks that oneshot you

Gragas

Even

havent played vs ap gragas mid in a while but was always fun to play , if you dodge his combo hes free

Heimerdinger

Even

Just Annyoing af nothing more to say

Irelia

Extreme

I think irelia is a kind of champ that noone needs but thank you riot . she has killpressure entire game on you endless dashes , damage reduction. Like her whole kit is made to **** you up. Definitly one of the Worst Matchups. Maybe a must ban?

Kassadin

Extreme

Have Fun After 6 , he scales better (1v1) has a passive and his q to make you feel absolutly wonderful

Katarina

Even

She has kill pressure but that matchup is clearly winnable on both sides

Kled

Extreme

Like Aatrox

LeBlanc

Extreme

Hardest Lane with Irelia together but you outscale her in teamfights

Lissandra

Even

Stay Safe wait for jungler cuz with aftershock you wont ever kill her

Lux

Minor

dodge her q , farm and get your team ahead with your ults

Malzahar

Tiny

This is my favourite matchup, he has little kill pressure on you if he rs you press e so you can easy trade back and if you have a jgler with brain he is doomed
