Play aggressive pre level 6. If he uses his Q to farm, play aggressive as he walks up to last hit CS. Juke his other abilities if he cages you in. He's very squishy so punish his weak early, he will most of the time over-extend for CS to stack his Q.
Aurelion Sol
Farm for first few waves if he is shoving. If not, play aggressive. Setup your Q dagger and poke in and out. Go for aggressive trades if his Q stun is down. Fairly one of the easier matchups, just be sure to keep track of his roaming as he can fly towards other lanes. Dodge his Ulti by shunpoing behind him, it doesn't do that much damage early on.
Brand
Learn to avoid his abilities. Dodge his W and you will be alright as this is his highest damaging spell and it is what he will max. Starting boots here helps to avoid his skillshots. Careful when getting hit by his E engulf. He can set ablaze minions to poke this way, don't get too close. Get aggressive if his abilities are on CD. The most important ability to avoid is his Q as it stuns when you're ablaze. He's very squishy and immobile, take advantage.
Vel'Koz
Play aggressive when his Q is on CD. Setup Q daggers when he's going for CS. He's VERY squishy and can be out-traded. If he misses knock up, he's open. Careful when he's level 6 because his ult does PLENTY of damage and if you don't have E ready you'd eat a lot of the damage. His ult makes him stationary, take advantage of this. You can all in with EW, but as soon as you do, walk to the side to avoid his knock up, you should anticipate this.
Lissandra
Stay away from the minion wave so she doesn't land her Q on you and the minions. If you setup Q dagger on her, go in and trade, she will use her W root but it does low damage. After 6, you can try to out-trade her because she usually can't one shot you if she isn't already ahead. Never use your ulti when she has hers up. QSS and Merc treads are both solid purchases VS her but I would not suggest buying both as that's far too much defensive items.
Diana
Take advantage of her shield cooldown, she won't be able to defend off your damage. Setup Q dagger while she's farming. Know the pattern of dodging Diana's Q. Don't go for extended trades, know when to back out as her auto attacks will out trade you because of her passive. After she hits level 6, don't get hit by Q or she'll simply out-damage you hard. Don't use ult until she uses her E.
Fizz
Don't let him proc his W mark. Dodge his E with your Shunpo. Take advantage of his E being on CD. Don't get hit by his ult or this will be his cue to all in, try not to let him long range his ult either. Q him when he's trying to farm, max Q. Setup Q daggers on minions because he can dodge your Q with E.
Annie
ALWAYS watch her stun bar, avoid all-ining when she has it up at level 6, you can ignore her stun before lv 6 as your EW will still land and you can continue your combo, be sure you are healthy for this trade. Poke her when she's going for CS. Setup Q daggers and poke in/out when given the chance. Merc treads are great here. After 6, becareful for her flash ult. If you are ahead however, she can't one shot you.
Talon
Trade when his W rake is on CD. Don't let him proc passive on you, it takes 3 abilities to land for him to proc it and he has to auto attack. Setup with Q daggers and poke in and out. Setting up with E-W means you'll take his full burst damage unless his abilities are on CD. Watch for his melee range Q as it crits. At level 6, your ult overpowers his ult.
Ekko
Don't allow Ekko to proc his 3rd attack on passive, walk away to avoid this or shunpo out. It's his major tool to out-trade you. Take advantage when his Q is on cooldown. Setup Q dagger on him when he tries to go for CS. After hitting 6, try to force him to use ult by playing aggressive, it's okay to burn your own ulti for his. He'll be far more open for ganks and left far more vulnerable than you without ult.
Anivia
Dodge her Q stun and if it's on cooldown, play aggressive. Don't get frosted by her Q or Ulti because you will eat her buffed E. After level 6, it's pretty much a farm lane, she will push out waves like no tomorrow with R. Don't get baited by her egg, always left click her to check if she has it. Ignite her BEFORE egg is down if it kills. Her passive lasts 4 minutes, your ignite is 3 minutes.
Viktor
It's okay to get hit by his Q, just don't get hit by his buffed auto attack afterwards. Dodge his lasers, becareful as it out-ranges your shunpo. Take advantage of his cooldowns, he is vulnerable without his Q shield. When he drops his W Gravity field, make sure you have your E reset/refunded so you can jump in or out depending on the situation. Viktor R will cancel your channeled abilities, this means your R. watch for that.
Malzahar
Take advantage of him if he uses his E on minions. Try to get rid of his spell shield passive and keep it down to prepare yourself for an all-in. Don't get E'd or you'll get poked down hard. Start Doran shield as it's good vs Damage over time. Purchase QSS sometime after gunblade if your team isn't that ahead. His ult will make him vulnerable while standing still, take advantage of this if he ults one of your allies. Dump on him in teamfights.
Yasuo
Keep track of how many minions he can E onto, try to fight Yasuo when there are no minions around for him to dash to so he can't dodge your spin damage on daggers. If he windwalls correctly, shunpo back. Setup Q dagger on minions and shunpo in, W for the full refund pre level 6, then go back out by shunpoing on your minions. Mainly a farm lane, call for ganks as he is very vulnerable to getting ganked since he lacks mobility. sync your Q when W lands, it animation cancels.
Zed
Dodge his shurikens. Careful with his level 2 WQ poke. Start Dark seal for aggression, all in when he uses WQ on minions to wave clear. All in him when he has 0 energy. Careful level 6. Don't stay low health under turret when he has ult.
Azir
Play around his soldiers' range and keep an eye out for that when trying to last hit minions. If he Qs his soldier in aggressively, go in if you didn't get hit by his Q as he will lack a great portion of his damage. You can also dodge his Q by Shunpoing in and it will catch him off-guard. He's vulnerable after using Q, take advantage. At level 6, you can outplay his ulti with shunpo if done right and with correct dagger placements.
