Start ring or shield, take ignite, rush anti-heal first base. DO NOT all in him unless you have ignite up, you WILL lose. Bait the Q by standing at its max range, walk in for Q1, W his Q2, and E on the other side of him for Q3. Always walk to the side of his W, if you go swifties as long as you don't get hit by Q you can always walk out. Before level 4 his Q cd is long so if you see him burn it go in, you beat him level 1 and 2 so push for wave prior and first level 2
Akali
Start ring or blade and any summoner works. Whoever gets the first kill will snowball the matchup. Abuse her high early CDs and energy cost since you beat her in an auto fight. Level 1 and 2 as long as you disengage when she gets her passive auto you should be able to kill her if you play right. DO NOT get hit by her E, if you do then remember the recast is what really hurts so go somewhere she doesn't want to recast. Same logic holds for her ult, and she's one of the champions you do not beat at 6 when you are even or slightly behind.
Camille
Start Blade and take ignite or ghost. Fight her level 1 for prio, there is nothing she can do against you, hold your E and dodge the W slow and you win. You will want your W level 3 to dodge her E. You beat her in extended fights unless she has conquered, and then it's a bit more even. Remember not to trade her when she has passive up, if you let her short trade with you then she will always win.
Cho'Gath
Start ring and take ignite or ghost. You surprisingly don't beat him level 1, but if he uses his E on the wave or started another ability go chunk him, or at least zone him off of the farm. You can buy anti heal to ruin his lane sustain if you would like but I would just rush riftmaker. His main everything is his Q and his R track ulti CD and W the Q and you should win. Remember that the silence on W is a annoying but shouldn't bother you much early. Put him down enough that you don't care.
Darius
Start ring or shield and take ignite or ghost. You do not beat him at level 1, start Q and execute the 3 first melee minions. Stack Q on the wave and trade him by 4 stack snipping him in the face and dashing away, you can use your E while in your Q. Remeber hat when he pulls you he is going to W slow you and try to get the outer ring Q to heal, walk towards him instead of away. After he short trades you decide whether you want to fight, if he has more than 3 bleed stacks, or has ult, or ghost, don't fight him. Play safe, ping for your JG, ward well, and scale up.
Dr. Mundo
Start ring or shield and take ghost or ignite and rush anti-heal. Mundo is one of the few tanks that you struggle into. Learn his cleaver habits and try to buy early boots getting poked down is bad news. With both of you at the same HP, he wins the all in. Quick trade him with 4 stack Q E combo and then walk away, at 6 if you have an HP lead and an anti heal item, ghost or ignite, and go all in you should win. Remeber that late game especially with heartsteel titanic, unless you rolled over him in lane, you're likely going to need someone else to help you with him.
Fiora
Start shield and take ignite and rush grevious. Remember to reset her vital by walking into fog of war or out of vision. if you go in a bush and you still have a vital, that means she has vision. Her vitals change predictably, they have 4 sides they can be on and each time it picks from two possible locations. It can either be One of the two top right, or one of the two bottom right. If your vital is at the top, then when you reset it will be on the opposite side either bottom or left. Remember to stand against a wall when she ults so she can't procc all of her ult vitals. Don't fight her play to scale.
Gangplank
Start shield and take ghost. He's going to shoot you with a gun on repeat until you're low and then all in you with his passive true damage. In lane he's going to sit inside a barrel and double barrel you when you walk up for farm. Make sure you get xp and try and out time him on barrels. Do not fight him once he hits sheen you will lose. Ping your team when he hits 6, ask for jg assistance, if he doesn't have a lead all in him at level 6.
Garen
Take blade or ring and ignite. Do not short trade him it's exactly what he wants. His goal is to eat all of your damage with his W and poke you so he can Q E ignite you and kill you with ult. If he uses his Q on the wave then punish him by dashing at him and abusing your larger attack range. don't let him use his massive passive regen, poke him by 4 stack Q E comboing him and then run away. If he presses Q back up, always, if he gets the silence on you post 6 he can kill you. If you're below half HP when he hits level 6 go to your turret and press B, if he has more than a single braincell he will dive you and kill you with ult for FREE. play to scale and remember that even late game if he silences you he wins the 1v1.
Gnar
Take ghost and shield. You can take PTA for fun but it's kinda bad. Don't get poked down or you'll be in a bad spot when he goes mega. You can try and all in at level 3 if he uses his E for some reason but generally you're not gonna be able to fight him unless he wants to fight you. Stay away from walls when he hit's 6 and wait for him to go mega so you can all in with the ult slow and ghost.
Gwen
Its You!
Illaoi
Take shield or ring and ignite. if you struggle you can take anti-heal into her but it isn't worth it, ignite is usually enough. Stand behind minions so that she can't hit you with an E, if she has your ghost she wins the fight but otherwise you spank her. Dodge her tentacles in lane and you shouldn't have issues. Once she hits 6 tell Jg to never come because she will 1v2. She's a strong splitpusher and teamfighter but so are you, fight her when she's weak and outscale.
Jax
Take exhaust or ghost and rush wardens mail, he runs you over the whole game. Your E won't dodge counterstrike and counterstrike blocks all of your autos so it's hard to get Q stacked. I can't give much advice because there isn't anything that's going to help, pray he's bad and that your JG has a fetish for camping top.
Jayce
Take shield and ghost or ignite. Avoid his Q's and W his ranged EQs. I fhe uses acceleration gate to attack you, you can go all in with either ghost or the ult slow, but if he has it up he will always outrun you or knock you away in melee form. Play safe and let him have the push, do your best to freeze it outside of your tower so that he's an easy gank.
Kayle
You both scale similarly hard, but her level 1 is stronger than yours and she scales off of xp while you scale off of gold. Take dorans blade or ring with ignite and ping your jungler to come early, your goal is to bury her in the ground before she hits 6 because otherwise you have no hope once she gets the range advantage. Her 16 is much stronger than yours but your 11 is stronger than hers. Remember that late game she beats you unless you're ahead of her in items by a decent chunk.
Kennen
Take Shield and Ghost. make sure you have at least 2 sources of tenacity in this matchup, either 2 runes or a rune and tenacity boots. Keep track of his W passive stack (his shuriken will glow) and his passive stacks on you, don't try and fight him when he has W passive or when he has 2 marks on you. Likely anytime you engage on him he will press E and leave. If he burns E on the wave to try and shove then go all in. After 6 keep track of his flash and ultimate timer, he's not very useful without them.
Kled
Take blade or ring and ignite. He beats you level one and you have to start E otherwise you get chunked by his second Q. You have to properly poke him otherwise he will repeat dive you with the free zhonyas that is dismounting from skaarl. if you get a favorable dismount then go all in, you want to fight him before he can build courage on the wave, but if he gets close to remounting while you fight then you have to run otherwise you lose. You outscale, don't let him get a lead
K'Sante
Take blade or ring with ignite. He hurts bad early and late. Dodge his Qs, especially Q3 which has an easy to see animation and a very slow projectile, never use your W for it unless you have to. Your W is best saved for when you all in him. Stay away from walls and whenever he ults you always ignite so that his newfound omnivamp is less of an issue.
This matchup is the one I have the least experience in so if anyone has advice let me know so I can update the guide.
Malphite
go whatever summs are best against his team and start any item. If he's tank just farm it out until 6 and kill him. Tank malphite can only throw rocks at you until you're low enough for his jungler or for him to kill you at 6. All you have to do is only walk up when necessary and poke him back. if he goes AP it's a different story, he will one shot you at 6 with lost chapter, play safe and do your best to soak xp, he needs gold and dark seal stacks to be a real issue, don't give it to him.
Mordekaiser
Start either shield or ring, take ignite for his healing and for the brazil 1v1s. Do not allow yourself to get poked out of the wave, you want to always be in your minions so he cannot hit you with an isolated Q. Buy either QSS early to dissuade him from ulting you, or go zhonyas to stall. If you're ahead or even with him I suggest fighting him in brazil, you are very strong and as long as you dodge his skills you easily win. if you fall slightly behind though you will get stat checked.
Nasus
Cry, take ignite and ring and hope your JG likes you. He heavily counters you, Wither slows your movement and attack speed, two things Gwen relies on. You will rarely beat him in a 1v1 after 6, do your best to deny him Q stacks and wait for him to fall off midgame. Even though Susan scales infinitely, he scales damage not stats, which will fall off as long as he isn't disgustingly ahead.
Olaf
Start shield and go ignite or exhaust. You will want both anti-heal and a wardens early, if he hits you with an axe he will run you down from the slow and chunk you thanks to the armor shred. try and short trade him to discourage him from wanting to all in or dive. Do not take long fights with him, he will win. Late game when you have enough AP to kill him in a reasonable amount of time then it's an easy fight for you, but before that don't even try.
Ornn
Start blade or ring, take summs for other people since you don't care about him at all. Trade heavy level one, zone him off XP and with level 2 advantage run him down or force him out of lane, rinse and repeat. Don't stand near his pillar or walls and he can't do much, save your W either for if you're going to be hit by his E, or his Ult. If he buys a Force of Nature then match it with a void staff and make his life insufferable, sit in the side lane and make it so he never plays the game, it's either 4v5 because he's worthless, or you end the game in their base if he leaves you alone.
Quinn
Take shield and ghost. She can heavily self peel and stop you from autoing, very hard MU especially if she takes her lead elsewhere on the map after hitting 6. post 6 always ping her missing if you haven't seen her in the last 15 seconds since she can base and be in someone else's lane extremely quickly. If she slips up you can always ghost and run her down but it's much harder for you to capitalize on it since she has so much self peel and a flash.
Renekton
Riven
Go ring and ghost or ignite. If the riven is decent she'll run at your face level 1 and you can cry. Her easily accessible CC and strong early levels makes her a horrible matchup, one of the permaban options. Try and dodge her Q3 and only fight her if her E is on cooldown. Riven ult does missing health damage so save your W to dodge the snipe. Once you leave the early game, if you're both even then you can start trying to win fights against her.
Rumble
Take ring or shield
Sett
He's stronger than you level 1 but if he misses E or took something other than it, beat him up for prior and level 2. Keep in mind that gwen Q is uncancellable so when he pulls you smack him with full Q, and it's impossible to miss the sweetspot. Keep an eye on his abilities, Sett has long cooldowns and as such long windows where you can trade or gain prior. In an all in hold E to dodge his W or you're screwed.
Shen
Early Shen hurts really bad and has bonus attack range just like you but he's not a big deal. Don't all in him early, whenever he Ws stop autoing, and get plating when he roams. Unless he gets all the kills off of his ults, you will easily outscale and run him and his team over with your gold.
Singed
Singed is a major pain, usually singed proxies and avoids laning because his lane phase is mediocre, unfortunately, his is better than yours so he's going to sit in your face and be annoying. if he proxies, just collect waves under turret, don't go stop him, let your jungler do that. Ward your Jg so he doesn't take it, don't chase him, and collect as much CS as possible.
Sion
Unfortunately for him, you're a tank shredder with mobility. Dodge his Q with either E or W, and if neither than Q him back. He shouldn't;t beat you at any stage of the game no matter what he builds, if he builds lethality then it is slightly harder for you but still winning. Dodge his CC and both builds fall flat.
Tahm Kench
While he is a tank, his massive shield and respectable damage make him a problem for you. Don't go past 3/4 of the lane after 6 because he'll eat you and CC you under his turret. Avoid his Qs because they hurt badly, slow, and heal him. It gets worse if he goes AP because then he really hurts and is still surprisingly tanky. Play it safe, get good trades, get fed off CS, normal stuff
