So annoying to play against, he usually outscales and if you ult he just gets your whole team low. Terrible to play against in solo queue with no coordination. However, you are more of a threat early so push the advantage and pray he doesn't get fed. Save your E's third attack for after his meditation.
Kha'Zix
Very hard to 1v1 after he backs. Before his back, you can maybe duel him at first scuttle but it is a good idea to have a teammate with you. Just a nightmare after level 6, if he gets fed game is hard. Just play safe and ward your jungle. Outscale.
Jax
He can just jump on you and right click you to death. Very hard to duel even if kiting because of his jump but it can maybe be winnable early if you snowball. Scales as much or more than you. Luckily, Jax jungle is not that common.
Rammus
Terrible to play against, he is THE anti-marksman/AD jungler after all. Just try your best to avoid him. He is weak to invades if you can get one off on him early, though, but still be very careful.
Graves
Kind of an even matchup but more Graves favored. He farms faster than you but you are slightly better early. Keep in mind that he can stack armor with his E passive in extended fights. Hard if he gets ahead but it's winnable. If he goes ignite, duels will be super hard to win and you should probably avoid it. Graves players like to invade so keep that in mind.
Lee Sin
If the Lee is good, you're in trouble. A lot of them suck though so I wouldn't be too scared unless you're at a pretty high rank. He can kick you out of your ult and can usually out duel you early. Just respect Lee, he is a strong early game jungler. You outscale and can easily fight if you have a lead.
Amumu
Invade this dude and buy QSS if you're being targeted, pick on him early game. You should win all duels.
Dr. Mundo
You can invade him early game for a free kill but beware his late as he can run you and your team down. Executioners is a must buy if he gets fed.
Kayn
Hahaha super easy after nerfs. Rhaast (buy grevious wounds) you can just kite and pre-form Kayn is so easy to fight. Free win if you can snowball off his weaknesses. Shadow Kayn is more dangerous if he gets fed, but you can peel his damage with your ult.
Elise
You outscale her hard but if the Elise player is good she's a force to be reckoned with early. Tons of burst and hard to 1v1. It's possible to win a 1v1 if you flash or Q her cocoon but proceed with caution.
Fiddlesticks
Very easy to invades, you need to do that to abuse his weak early game. Be careful late game as his ult is very strong and has a fear, ult timing will be important for you.
Ivern
Not hard at all, just annoying. He can instantly smite your marks after making a grove on it, fight him before he can and scare him away. You win all 1v1s. At the start of the game, ward the buff you are not starting at or tell one of your laners to watch it, he will probably go to it.
Twitch
What is this? Just invade him all the time early, he will be low health clearing. Warn your laners of his level 2 gank cheese.
Zac
He gets tanky but is not a threat early. Be careful about ulting, you can save his blobs unintentionally. Invade him a lot, you can dodge all of his abilities with your dash as well.
Karthus
Stop his ultimate with yours, you can save yourself and your team. Early game powerfarmer in the jungle, you can invade him for an easy kill.
Jarvan IV
He will probably gank a lot early but falls off hard. Nothing to worry about for the most part. You can 1v1 him easy unless he gets ahead.
Nidalee
You can kill her fast but she can do the same to you, use your dash to dodge her spear (if she misses it you should win the 1v1). Respect the Nidalee if they are good, very strong early game champ.
Nocturne
Hard to duel. You can outscale him, Q away when his fear ability is casting.
Evelynn
Not a problem unless she gets super fed. Invade her early, if she gets behind she is close to useless for a while. Abuse her pre 6 hard!
Sejuani
Annoying, has a lot of CC. Should be easy to invade and duel as long as she is not super ahead and tanky.
Shaco
Only a threat if he gets fed. Use your E to mark him before he uses his ultimate clone. You can tell which one is real by doing that, it will only stay on the real Shaco.
Shyvana
Strange matchup, AD Shyvana is harder to fight than AP. AP is super squishy and you can burst her down no problem. AD bruiser/tank/something is good against you, just try to avoid 1v1s then. Can invade her on her first clear.
Warwick
Hard to fight early, super strong duelist. Can ult you before you are able to ult, so try to time it right if he is targeting you. Late game you outscale hard, he can't do much if you are grouped up. His Q/bite can follow your dash so try to time it right.
Wukong
Decent jungler, make sure to ult before he can knock you up. You can get him low in your ult to kill him and kite him out after he uses clone.
Nunu & Willump
More worried for my team when I see him get picked than myself. He ganks so much and has super good objective control so keep it in mind. You can invade him early and he can't do much, his weak spot is duels. Ward rivers for your laners. Out scale.
Vi
Dodge her Q punch with your dash and you can most likely kite her for an easy duel. If she gets fed, she has a lot of burst so try and avoid fighting her then.
Hecarim
Easy to duel if he isn't fed and you can usually fight him 1v1 anyway. Vulnerable to invades as he usually doesn't take flash anyways. Ward rivers for your laners, he has super strong ganks. A good idea to ult before he can ult you to fear you.
Udyr
Annoying. Farms fast and gets tanky. You outscale but he packs a punch early. Try to avoid dueling unless you are confident you can kite him or are super ahead.
Rengar
With good reaction time you can negate his burst with your ultimate and get him low in yours to finish him off. A good idea to peel your team's squishies and yourself with your ult if he is fed. Most likely easy to kill if he's not near a bush. If he is near one, avoid fighting him at all costs unless you are super ahead.
Gragas
Can ult you out of your ult with his. He can have surprisingly strong burst so be careful.
Skarner
Fast and tanky, his ult is the biggest problem for you. QQS is a good buy to stop his ultimate.
Darius
When ganking him, you can stop his ultimate with yours with good timing. Just kite him and it should be easy.
Garen
Stop his ultimate with yours.
Lillia
Invade her, she can do nothing against you early. Free kills.
Mordekaiser
Can use his ultimate to take you out of your ultimate, keep it in mind.
Olaf
As long as you never get close to him, you win. Even if he does get ahead early you still out scale him hard.
Pyke
Stop his ultimate with yours and possibly save your whole team in a teamfight!
Poppy
Annoying in the jungle, can stop your dashes with an ability and super tanky. Thankfully, not picked much.
Rek'Sai
She has a ton of burst early but you can kite the hell out of her. Just be careful if she gets fed, tell your laners to ward over walls for her ganks.
Sylas
Jungle Sylas is terrible after nerfs, free win just invade him. Only thing to worry about is him taking your ultimate but he will probably not know how to use it as well as you.
Ekko
You counter Ekko jungle hard. Invade him and it's hard for him to do a lot.
Talon
If Talon gets fed he will probably be in your jungle A LOT so try to prevent that. Just a pain in the ass if the Talon player knows what they're doing. Hard to gank if your mid has no CC too. You can prevent his burst with your ultimate though, like against any assassin.
Yasuo
These players usually lack brain cells and are probably going to push a lot, punish them.
Yone
These players usually lack brain cells and are probably going to push a lot, punish them.
Teemo
These players usually lack brain cells and are probably going to push a lot, punish them.
Urgot
You can actually stop his ultimate with yours if you time it well. Yes, it can save you and your teammates.
Azir
If the Azir player is good, he can ult enemies out of your ult. Very handy.
Ahri
Good CC for ganks and good roams to help you.
Akali
Strong laner that can use priority to help you. Sadly, no CC to help your ganks though.
Alistar
Roaming supports are great for you.
Anivia
Good CC for ganks. You can save her in egg form with your ultimate!
Annie
Easy for your teammate to play, amazing CC for ganks and can speed you up and shield you with her new ability.
Ashe
Good CC, easy to gank for. Can scout enemy jungle/your marks with her E!
Bard
One of the best roaming supports, can help you with ganks and getting marks.
Braum
Great passive for you to use, 4 autos and they are stunned.
Camille
90% of the time a free kill on her laner for you when she has ult up.
Cho'Gath
Great objective control and CC for ganks, let him eat dragons and barons if you can work it out together as it does more true damage than your smite.
Diana
Free ganks when she has ultimate up. Just make sure to not cancel her ultimate with your own and deny the huge damage from it.
Ekko
Another AP mid with good roams.
Galio
Amazing mid with tons of CC for your ganks. Comboing ultimates can be a fight winner! Great roamer as well.
Fizz
Another AP mid with good roams. Not much CC but if he lands his ult its probably a free kill.
Gragas
Can knock enemies out of your ult with his ult. Not much use to you besides that.
Heimerdinger
Will for the most part always have priority in his lane for you to invade and get marks.
Janna
Amazing roams, AD boosting shields, and can knock enemies out of your ultimate with hers.
Jax
Easy to gank with his easy to land CC. Strong by himself but that's the only special thing for you.
Jhin
He can root enemies for you and is a good champion but doesn't offer much use to you otherwise.
Karthus
Karthus can ult enemies for an instant kill after your ult, but it's easy to screw that up without proper communication.
Kassadin
He scales hard but don't expect to have priority mid unless he snowballs somehow.
Kayle
More invincibility is always good, but she probably won't have priority for a while in her lane so kind of hard to get marks. Scales hard though.
Kennen
Good ult, easy to gank for, especially after he is 6.
LeBlanc
Has great CC for ganks and strong roamer.
Leona
Super easy to gank and can roam with you.
Lissandra
Another easy to gank mid laner.
Lucian
(Solo Lane) Lucian is a strong solo laner that will have priority, but you are both AD and there are probably 3 ADCs on the team now. Hopefully you have AP.
Darius
Easy to gank for and will probably have lane priority to get marks. Try to not ult when he is using his.
Lulu
Shields, attack and movement speed boosts. What is there not to love?
Lux
Good CC and easy to gank for. Has a shield too.
Malphite
Hahahahah gank his lane after he is 6 for a free kill.
Malzahar
Point and click CC after 6 for ganks.
Maokai
Point and click CC for ganks and a rooting ultimate for even more CC!
Morgana
The spell shield is great for you and she is easy to gank because of her root and stun. Both mid and support Morgana are great synergies.
Nami
CC, gives movement speed and buffs your attacks. Great for you, like all the other ardent supports.
Aurelion Sol
Good roaming AP mid laner with CC, but is slightly weaker than the others right now.
Nasus
Stacks + more stacks = nice synergy. Point and click slow for your ganks and great map pressure. Probably will not have much lane priority before having a few stacks though.
Nautilus
Easy to gank for, having a hook and knock up.
Nunu & Willump
What jungle doesn't like to have a Nunu mid? He practically does your job for you, roaming and all. Great objective control too, you can let him smite for you with his true damage (does more than your smite).
Ornn
Ornn items are great for Kindred. Amazing to scale with and easy to gank.
Orianna
Strong ultimate, a shield, and will usually have priority for you to get marks.
Pantheon
Point and click CC for ganks, but he falls off hard late.
Pyke
He can ult after your ult ends for a free kill, but he will probably ult during yours and screw up his execute.
Qiyana
Strong roaming mid.
Quinn
Can roam fast after 6, will probably have priority in lane.
Rakan
Amazing roams, CC, shields, and a heal even though it is small.
Rell
Tons of CC, easy to gank for.
Renekton
Strong laner early with priority and easy to gank for, though he falls off.
Ryze
Point and click CC for ganks and a strong AP scaler. Can roam with his ultimate too.
Senna
Has a root and heals, but not too good early compared to others. Needs time to scale.
Seraphine
Strong teamfighter late and great CC.
Sett
Decent CC to set up ganks.
Shen
My favorite top laner to play with. Strong laner that can have priority early for your marks and can ult to help you. So easy to gank for, a taunt on a flashless target is probably a free kill.
Singed
Can flip people out of your ult and has some CC for ganks.
Sion
Good tank to play with, has CC for ganks.
Sona
Speed, heals, and damage. Strong ultimate too. Needs time to scale but is a beast after she does.
Soraka
Heals heals heals! Amazing late game. If she ults after you ult, your team gets a huge heal. Needs communication though, if she ults and your team is below the threshhold in your ult, they will not get healed.
Swain
Great CC for ganks, teamfighting monster.
Sylas
Has some CC for ganks but is kind of weak early.
Talon
Strong roaming mid laner, your damage late can make up for him falling off.
Taric
Shields, heals, stuns, and... INVINCIBILITY! Amazing late game in fights. Your team will literally never die if you two play this correctly.
Thresh
Amazing to gank for, can roam well, and save you with lantern. A good Thresh is an ideal synergy for sure.
Tristana
Can use her ultimate to knock enemies out of yours but not much use otherwise.
Twisted Fate
Great early, can set up ganks for you with his yellow card as a point and click stun. Almost a 2nd jungler if he is good when he has his ultimate up. Can coordinate plays and help at marks.
Vayne
Can use her condemn to knock enemies out of your ultimate but not much use otherwise.
Veigar
Strong AP champion, wherever he is played. Has a cage to keep the enemy from escaping a gank unless they have flash up or some kind of dash.
Wukong
He has two knockups on his ultimate for your ganks!
Xerath
CC for your ganks but not the best roamer.
Yorick
Can trap enemies in his circle, easy ganks.
Yuumi
Who doesn't love Yuumi? She gives everything you would want as an ADC-ish champion. Speed, heals, shields, and a pretty useful ultimate!
Zed
Has a strong presence mid and can roam, but no CC for you to use.
Zilean
You have an ultimate for invincibility, maybe have a GA, and have this guy's speed and revive? The enemy team will be super annoyed if he peels you.
