Show All

None Low Ok Strong Ideal

Extreme Threats

Ideal Synergies

Veigar

Tiny

Avoid the stun and you will win every trade, mainly because veigar will miss his abilities as an result.

Vel'Koz

Tiny

avoid stun and you will thanks to mobility be able to avoid the attacks.very easy to poke down stay close to minions.

Ahri

Tiny

just have 100% focus on minions early on, when you hit level 6 you simply wait for ahri to use q to farm then you go all in, 9/10 you will win the trade or get a kill.

Katarina

Tiny

another easy match up, simply poke alot becuase kata the first to run out of healt posions, will most likely get behind. trade to scare kata off and go all in if she gets too bold. you should win trades.

Lux

Minor

avoid the q, if you find it difficult buy zhonyas. don't go all in unless she has spend at least 1 ability on missions.

Akali

Minor

very easy pre 6. once akali hits lvl 6 you want to be careful. if played right akali can beat you 1v1 therfore you should only go for poking post 6 until you are 100% sure you can 1 combo her.

Annie

Minor

you have to poke, go all in once you she is low and you are sure the next ability isnt a stun,

Anivia

Minor

Simply be careful when she uses her q after that she is about harmless unless she is lvl 6+ if that is the case you can poke with q and go all in in case her ult is on cd.

Viktor

Minor

just don't get stunned and avoid his poking with the e.

Aurelion Sol

Minor

poke until low never get in a situation where he can follow you with his movement speed advantage.

Brand

Even

pretty strong if you let him combo you around your minions. just make sure you can juke his e go. when he ults you r away from anything near you, or you go all in on him depends on his health level after your poking. trading is possible but you need to make sure he can't stun you after or under the trade.

Diana

Minor

if she misses q you will win the trade. you want to keep distance after you have used your abilities she will win if you let her passive hit you.

Cho'Gath

Even

you can kill him early on but once he hit a very tanky stage you will need ***itance from your jungler, he shouldnt be able to kill you either thanks to your mobility.

Ekko

Even

just don't get stunned, and always keep his ult in mind.

Ezreal

Even

he most likely will poke you down early on. you need to make sure to stay out of his q+w range later on you will destroy him, since he can't escape you.

Kayle

Minor

tactical retreat when he ult and all in once again when it stops.

LeBlanc

Major

100% a skill match up, perhaps lb has a little advantage. but can be outsmarted

Fizz

Even

depends on how skilled the fizz is, you simply has to wait for him to use something for his farm then you can outtrade him, also poking with your q is a good idear.

Jayce

Even

Don't underestimate his dmg, you can kill him quite easily later on.

Galio

Extreme

pretty damn difficult. you can't really kill him on your own and he will poke you alot.

Kennen

Even

You can kill him, use r to avoid his ult or buy a zhonyas.

Karma

Minor

her shield will absorb your poke so you have to go all in to hurt her, karma ult can poke you down so stay close to minions, r away from her stun or go all in when she thinks she has the upperhand.

Karthus

Minor

just juke his q and you will reck him. he does have a wall that can slow you simply r away from it or go around it. zhonyas to counter his ult.

Malzahar

Even

all about timing, if he has alot of his personal minions with him he will most likely outdmg you, keep his shield down with your q. and poke q&e. he will find it difficult to kill you on his own therfore he will most likely get help from jungle when he decides to ult.

Azir

Tiny

you can all in on him pretty much from lv1 2-3 he simply is very weak early. poke with q can be enough to keep him away from farm.

Morgana

Major

don't get hit by her q and you can outdmg her. has alot of dmg if you get hit though.

Orianna

Even

you can ult out of her ult. keep your distance poke after she has spend her sheild.

Swain

Minor

has alot of healing but with your mobility you should be able to turn the tables.

Ryze

Major

takes some experince to know when to go in and how to poke.

Lissandra

Minor

should be able to outdmg her.

Talon

Extreme

mostly he will get ahead, but you can beat him if you know where yo ult, then agian he is ad so clearly he has a huge advantage since your q shield and your passive is useless.

Twisted Fate

Major

can be a problem thanks to his ult. he can go anywhere and get bot kills and assists in no time getting a head. you can't really trade very well before lvl 6 it's pretty even though.

Vladimir

Even

not that difficult, he thinks he is invinsible thanks ot his healing power. early on you can easily out dmg him. keep hitting him and you can win your lane.

Xerath

Major

the range makes it pretty difficult. but one mistake is all it takes and you will get ahead.

Zed

Major

only way to survive is a zhonyas, after that you should be ok.

Yasuo

Major

he can shield your q and has a high mobliity while he is able to outtrade you if the trade takes more than 2 sec. try to keep his shield down with your q and hit him hard once in a while.

Lucian

Major

ad mostly counter kassadin. just try and farm while poking them.

Ziggs

Major

this will all come down to how well he keep his distance. if he gets too close you can hit him hard. on range you will most likely suffer from his dmg.
