I just ban this champion, very hard to play since his 50% ferocity just breaks shields and then applies the damage now.
Gragas
He'll just freeze at tower if given the opportunity and bait you into diving him. Also he can always cancel your 3rd (Q) with his (E).
This lane is highly annoying and I recommend trying to communicate with your jungler to get rift and get out of lane as soon as possible.
Sett
This lane feels so unbelievably hard, even if you dodge the center of his W you will lose. You have to wait for the wave to crash into your tower or you will be stunned on your own minions!
Yorick
This lane is very hard - more information soon!
Volibear
This lane is very hard - more information soon!
Garen
You need to cast Valor (E) followed by Ki Burst (W) to get away from Garen's (Q), this will absorb the majority of Garen's trade and put you out of his spin (E) range.
Tahm Kench
Start a Doran's Shield, be careful with Tahm, go for short trades.
When he gets his stacks of Acquired Taste (P) built up he will more than likely win the the trade. Focus on farming and scaling into the mid to late game.
Ornn
Start Doran's Shield, and focus on farming in this lane and avoid trading unless he burns (W) on creeps. Make sure you dodge or cast Valor (E) to mitigate his pillar (Q) damage.
Darius
If you fight Darius you need to stay on top of him while he is channeling his (Q), if you get hit by the blade you will be in danger.
Also Darius' Apprehend (E) gives him the opportunity to ruin the flow of your combo by pulling you out of your 3rd (Q), since he can react to the animation beginning,
!! Only fire your 3rd (Q) if he is stunned by your Ki Burst (W) !!
If you fall behind in this lane it will feel terrible, but the same goes for him!

BRING THE RESOLVE PAGE
You can build Steelcaps and/or a Bramble Vest to survive her in lane.
Mordekaiser
Skill match up - more information soon!
Jax
Skill matchup - more information soon!
Shen
Shen is a lane bully, and will punish you heavily if given the opportunity. Anticipate his taunt (E) and take very short trades to avoid excessive damage from his (Q) and Grasp.
Dr. Mundo
Start a Doran's Shield, you can trade with Mundo quite well just avoid his Clever (Q) or you will be quickly forced out of lane.
Maokai
Start Doran's Shield, you won't really be capable of winning trades with Maokai because of his passive.
So you should focus primarily on farming and take short trades when convenient for you.
Malphite
Start Doran's Shield, and focus on farming.
You'll more than likely not be able to kill Malphite early due to his (Q) slow.
Be mindful of his level 6, it is pretty lethal especially if you've gotten chunked in a gank, or you've taken a large amount of (Q) harass.
Sion
Pretty easy lane, once he channels his (Q), you can dash out of the cone and look for a trade.
You can break his shield easily early on, just be careful to not take to much harass from his (E)!
