Extreme Threats

Ideal Synergies

Irelia

Extreme

BAN IF POSSIBLE. Laning phase is going to be unplayable. A good Irelia would freeze the wave and zone you out until there's nothing left. Rush Steelcaps -> Executioners -> Iceborne. These 3 mitigate her AA Damage and Healing. Get Grasp-Boneplating-Unflinching, then TP.

Fiora

Major

Not the hardest matchup. But going up against Fiora forces you to grown another braincell. You want to bait out her Riposte with Q1 or W. Then time a Q2 + E into a direction where you're not in the way of her Riposte but still hit her in the sweet spot. If you get ulted, run up a wall so she cant get the last vital.

Akali

Extreme

She will poke you down to hell. Get sweepers lvl 1 to know where she is in her smoke. If you dodge her Q, poke her back with a Q of your own.
Rush Maw and Merc Treads. Get Second Wind.

Darius

Major

Like every Darius Matchup. Spacing if everything. If you get caught in his E, W him then slowly kite him just enough so he gets pulled away from you. Flash away if possible.

It's a bit tricky so Second Wind or Bone Playing is completely okay here.

Camille

Even

Skill Matchup. You can interrupt her Dash with a Q. She can dodge 1 of your Qs with her R, she'll probably try to dodge the last one. Bone Plating for this matchup.

Cho'Gath

Minor

Don't get poked by his Q. Try to end the game fast before he scales. You are not winning a 1v1 30 mins into the game. Look to kill his team instead of him.

Second Wind - Unflinching.

Gnar

Major

Play around his Jump. If it's not up, he's killable. Careful with Mega Gnar's stat check. And try to avoid getting ran down.

Steel Caps - Bone Plating

Illaoi

Extreme

Try to hide behind minions so she can't E you. Dodge everything. If she ults, get out of her ult radius or you are going to see grey. Mid-Late Game, she is going to probably split push so best group up with YOUR team to fight. Build Anti-Heal.

Can opt for Ignite here.

Jax

Major

He will Jump and Stun you over and over and you can't do anything about it. More annoying if he has grasp. One of the few times you'll need Phase Rush just so he can't run you down.

Jayce

Extreme

BAN IF POSSIBLE. He will jump on you and knock you back costing 1/3rd of your health. Careful with this matchup because he can 100-0 you faster.

You can opt for Electrocute here.

K'Sante

Major

KSante is pretty tolerable now. Dodge his Q3s and you're Golden. A KSante player with Half a Braincell will know to W your Pull, so try to wait out his W before continuing your combo.

Kayle

Minor

You nuke her down everytime. Rush Voltaic and Seryldas here so she can't escape. You can even opt for Stride for Health and MS.

Kennen

Extreme

Like Jayce, this matchup is almost unplayable. Kennen will run you down and take your lunch money. Take Comet / Elec and poke them when they miss their Q.

Mordekaiser

Even

Everyone's favorite matchup. Dodge his E and wail on him. But careful when he ults you. Don't commit until he's about 1/3 hp.

You can opt to get Antiheal OR Serpent's fang.

Nasus

Minor

Try to shut him down as early as possible. Starve him of farm, exp, anything. Freeze the lane on YOUR side and only shove it when he's dead.

Olaf

Major

Get Phase Rush. He will run you down for everything you're worth. You can poke him down just enough to all-in him. But remember he can't be PULLED or Knocked up when he's in his R.

Ornn

Major

Bro is the tank of tanks. Rush Cleaver for this. Dodge his combo and he can't do anything but take your damage.

Get Unflinching.

Pantheon

Major

Pantheon is an Extreme threat when is P is up. Play around his P and try to Q3 BEHIND him. Not for the damage, but so that you can still chase him.

Poppy

Even

Play around Poppy's W. Poke Poppy down and make the laning phase miserable for them.

Conq / Grasp.

Quinn

Extreme

A good Quinn player knows that if they're losing lane, they're gonna roam at 6. Vision and Communication is key here. Spam pings if you have to. Get electrocute and ward your river.

Renekton

Even

Renekton is always a lane bully. Try to space yourself far enough where you can poke safely. If he all-ins you, try to return the favor while his E is down. He'll probably be out of fury by then. No Empowered Q Healing.

Bone Plating - Steel Caps Rush.

Riven

Major

Riven will wait out their Q3 to CC you for a whole new Q rotation. When you see her Q-ing, space out a bit and Q her to try to throw her off.

Bone Plating-Unflinching.

Rumble

Extreme

Lane will literally be unplayable. Rush Hex - Kaenic. And even then you might not kill him, but the damage will be severely mitigated. Enough for you and your Jungler to shut him down.

Second Wind - Revitalize. You can opt to get Absorb Life to make the laning phase a bit bearable.

Sett

Even

Skill Matchup. Dodge his E-W and full combo him. Get steel caps and bone plating.

Shen

Tiny

Easiest lane of your life. Shen W can't block your Qs. You can cancel his R by knocking him up. Dodge his E and he has no means of escape.

Dr. Mundo

Minor

Laning phase is so free. Step on his Passive everytime so he's CC-able.

Singed

Minor

Worst case is Singed proxies your lane. Clear out your wave and ping your jungler to help kill him. Chances are he's gonna be giga low and try to execute at your T2.

Sion

Even

Cancel his Q with your Q. Know that a decent Sion will take Phase Rush and poke you down. The fights not over even when he's dead so run away when he dies.

Kled

Major

Kled has built in Anti-Heal and a Pseudo-GA. Play around those and you should be just fine. When you hear his ult, try to run to your turret.

Bone Plating - Revitalize

Teemo

Minor

Sweepers Lvl 1. You can opt for ignite here.

Trundle

Extreme

Blink and your turrets gone. Rush steel caps and freeze the wave at your side of the lane.

Bone Plating - Revitalize

Tryndamere

Extreme

Same notes for Trundle.

Urgot

Even

Dodge his E and you should be fine.

Vayne

Major

Get Sweepers. Rush Edge of Night. Then all in her. She can't condemn you. Sweepers is to see her when shes invis, or block vision when you hide in brush.

Vladimir

Extreme

Unplayable. be patient with this lane. Vlad will keep stealing health over and over. try to poke him down so get some health. Might want to get Absorb Life + Revitalize + Second wind.
