Shut him down early game, sidestep his Q's, try to sidestep his E minion throw. build alot of anti tank items and anti heal, if you don't you get smoked late game.
Sion
Bully his early game, zone him, dodge his E his Q, or simply dodge it, try to sidestep his E, don't fight his passive. Get as many kills as you can before he just starts turbo inting for CS and Towers. Can consider shield cut vs him. If you're not ahead you get outscaled hella.
Teemo
His blind makes it really difficult to trade, I personally run Conq or electrocute into him, Try to trade whenever his Q is down, make sure to not fight over his shrooms. I try to avoid empowered W's against teemo just incase I accidently do it as he blinds. Lane is dependent on how much he zone and pokes you.
Wukong
Your best time to ever beat wukong is before 6, you have some all-in power vs him, but when he gets his level 6 powerspike its really tough, his passive makes it super hard to trade and he wins almost every extended fight, play it slow, play for your item spikes, widdle him down.
Nasus
In lane hes easy to deal with, keep wave on your side, zone him so hes forced to E the wave and shove it in. Grevious is great into nasus, don't let him stack and its free. If you give him free stacks game is over.
Fiora
This entire matchup is just do not let her get free/easy vitals, one skill to get used to is pantheons W has travel time unless you're already in melee range, so to make it almost impossible to parry your W, do melee range W's but don't get antsy, try to bait her parry then go for w's. Grevious is very needed. Other than that this lane is not too difficult its very much a skill matchup, be careful of her split pushing.
Ornn
Ornn has a deceptively good trade early game, his Q, W, E can easily do 30-50% of your health, try to always sidestep his Q's, and walk around him so his full W doesn't proc on you and he doesn't get a brittle proc, always stay away from his Q or terrain so he can't knock you up, sidestep his ram when he has ult, Always E ornns brittle procs but don't E too early as he can just cancel his AA and use it after your E is down. He is better than you in teamfights with his ult just existing. Try to get a few kills early game and don't allow him to get free farm, always poke him when he walks up.
Lillia
Not many lilia top players anymore but its not too difficult, W into her when she Q's, sidestep or E her W, always sidestep her E. Try to always get in her inner Q range so it does less damage. Other than that this lane isn't too bad.
Malphite
Literally pantheons hardest counter, pantheon sucks at fighting through shields, his Q poke is strong and you can never win a poke battle as he always has his passive shield, dshield and second wind. He hyper stacks armor and always beats you in all ins. Its just a cancer matchup, best I can say is try to force a kill or two before he can start stacking armor, rush black cleaver, don't eat poke and dont take stupid trades. Other than that try to get good roams and snowball your lanes.
Tahm Kench
Tahm is a bit cancer but you can play him out, stun him if he tries to dive away or in, dodge his Q's, careful about being ulted under tower, Other than that theres not much to say.
Shen
You beat him in most all in's try to E his Q autos if you can, his early levels are actually quite decent so don't underestimate him. Conqueror is good here do not empowered W ontop of his W or you'll just miss the 3 autos. Don't shove wave into his tower as he can very easily outplay you and/or taunt you.
Darius
My personal favorite matchup to lane against, Darius beats you in almost 100% of all ins, to ever win an all in you must poke him down significantly, consider taking boneplating to reduce his damage, W into his inner Q range, early game you can actually E his AA + W and if he autoes you in your E it doesn't give him any bleed stacks so use that to your advantage, if you cant properly use E, use it to block his ult damage, grevious will be needed unless you can dodge his Q's well, consider plated steel caps and sundered sky to have sustain during fights. Mid game he can run you down so try to not ever all in unless you have a level or item lead.
Garen
Honestly its just annoying... you poke the man and then he walks away and heals it all and thing is you don't have high mana reserves on pantheon so you just kinda run out of mana if you try to poke him. So pretty much just farm and you can beat him in fights pretty easily if played correctly. Pre 6 you always wanna E his E then after 6 you typically wanna E his R. If he is stupid and doesn't try to backoff to heal from your poke then just all in him and murder him. If you can freeze on your side and poke him away and zone him from wave that would be good. You can try to stop his healing by throwing your Q at him but careful as it gets a high CD. Conqueror I think is best, buy whatever items you find nessacary.
Renekton
I don't have much to say about this lane as I never go against any good renekton players. I like to E his W. If he tries to E into you just W him and trade, PTA or Conqueror both work, PTA is better if hes going lethality and conq is better if hes going bruiser so use your inner senses to predict what build hes gonna go. You can actually go Boneplating into this so his W has no effect on you but it is quite redundant as you do have the E for that. Careful of his lvl 6 power spike.
Jayce
Literally a skill matchup, if jayce has good spacing and is good, you can't W into him, its hard to poke Jayce aswell. Best time to combo is when hes in ranged form because he has less resistances, side step his ranged Q and don't let him poke you for free, usually when he does melee Q or Melee E I like to E both of those, you are better than him in team fights in my opinion so use that to your advantage.
Kayle
If she has lethal tempo her lvl 1 is OP asf, if she takes some other ****ty rune don't be afraid to trade with her lvl 1. Try not to get hit by her poke tools early on, abuse her pre six, get a lead, get some early lethality or any damage and just snowball tf out of that lane. Good Kayles will be able to space you very well so be careful of that. I personally just force a big trade with her early, shove wave in, dive, on repeat.
Jax
When he Q + E's ontop of you W him and walk away from the stun, you dont even win all ins with him when he has 6 unless you're really ahead, When his E + Q are down you can trade with him fairly well.
Yone
Yone has a deceptively weaker lane phase, abuse his early lane and hes super gank susceptible. Try not to combo over his W shield, sidestep his q's in fights, try to sidestep or avoid the ult, try to get some kills early game and really lane bully him out of the game so he cant do yone things late. Get plated steelcaps aswell
Yasuo
Just a skill matchup, if Yasuo is really good he can do some crazy korean **** and outplay, but generally you can kill him early on, widdle him down with Q's and then all in him, after 6 be cautious he gets a big power spike. Sidestep his Q's and tornados and you should be good. Plated steelcaps is needed.
Malphite
Malphite R into your stun
Yone
Can skirmish with you very well and just chain cc with this guys Q3 and R
Twisted Fate
Double the roams, plus yellow card into your cc

If he revives you in a fight and your team is still fighting, assuming you have R you can just come straight back to the fight. Its oddly specific but it does work.

You can setup your stun for his stun dome thing.
Blitzcrank
He pulls in and you can stun.
Aatrox
Great CC chain and early skirmish power.
Jarvan IV
Both of you are great early skirmishers and you basically cannot lose 2v2's, you also have a good cc setup.
Pyke
Hook into your stun, you can also burst super quickly for his R.
Lee Sin
You can stun for his Q, and you also skirmish extremely well with him.
