D-Shield or Corrupting Potion if you are confident. Don't get hit by his returning W, if you do, stay far far away. His level 2 is so much stronger than you, and he can just jump on you and kill you with Q-W-AA-AA-Ignite or W-Q-AA-Ignite. Watch his level 2, stay safe. When he roams, just farm under tower. DO NOT FOLLOW his roams. He can oneshot you even after your Rod of Ages. You can build Seekers Armguard early if you gave up a kill or two. Max E and take exhaust. Take Grasp of the Undying runepage if you want.
Zed
Corrupting Potion or Doran's Shield. This matchup is hard because you cannot step up, much like Talon. You have to farm with Q, and can't get hit by his Q. You are somewhat safe to walk up and farm is when his W shadow is down. Stay in the wave so you take less damage from his Shurikens. Watch his level 3 powerspike, and his level 6 all in.
Katarina
Dark Seal or Corrupting Potion. You are the ultimate counter to Katarina. As long as you stay out of range of her daggers early you will be fine. Your passive negates a lot of her damage, you have more mobility after level 6, and most importantly, your Q cancels her ultimate. Safe your Q for this purpose after level 6. Max E.
Ahri
Corruption Potion. The only thing you have to focus on is dodging her charm. She will push under tower so just don't get caught out. You can take cleanse if you want, but since the Glacial Augment build is so popular the standard sustain build will be fine.
Azir
Corrupting Potion. Azir beats you early but as soon as you have Riftwalk you destroy him. He will push under tower, and since his soldiers last for half as long under tower he will use up his mana very quickly. You can out-sustain him easily with Fleet Footwork and Corruption Potion.
Malzahar
Corruption Potion. He is long range, infinite pushing power, and an ult that can lock you out of Riftwalk and any abilities for ganks. You won't be able to touch him early, so just play safe early. Try to buy a Quicksilver Sash, especially if the enemy jungler has strong damage. You can Riftwalk away if the jungler can't do enough damage while you are suppressed.
Ekko
Corruption Potion. Similar to Katarina, but he will push over and over and over again. Farm under turret, and try not to get poked by his Q. When trading, dodge at least a part of his Q to let you trade back. If he procs his passive he will just run away.
Yasuo
Corruption Potion or D-Shield. This matchup is a skill matchup. If the Yasuo pushes, you win. If you push, he wins. If it freezes in the middle, he wins. Let him push the lane, otherwise he has a lot of room to kill you as you are running to tower. You beat him after 6, he shouldn't be able to land a tornado against you.
Veigar
Corruption Potion. This should just be a farmfest, which is good because you are a scaling assassin. Late game just kill him instantly before he gets his damage off. As long as you don't get stunned by his cage and get ganked, you will be fine. Stand in the wave so he doesn't get free Q stacks.
