Ideal Synergies

Leona

Extreme

Three stuns and a lot of health. The best you could do is dodge her e and focus the enemy ADC.

Sivir

Extreme

Sivir is a tough one. Try and dodge her q and stay away from minions to dodge her w. Sivir is pretty useless without any of her abilities. Try and wait out her abilities and then push. Get your sup to stun her and then place traps. Keep in mind that her E cancels an enemy ability, so before using your ult make sure she doesn't have her E up.

Twitch

Extreme

If I'm banning an ADC It's Twitch. You always have to keep in mind his Q because he'll just sneak up on you and you're as good as dead (this will work on you no matter what point in the game, late or early). Play as safe as possible you might have to camp tower and lose some cs. Ganks from your jg is the best way to win against a Twitch. If you have to fight without jg; get sup to stun and place traps.

Draven

Extreme

Draven can be a big threat if you don't play it out right. You want to play with your range, so make sure you poke him a lot without getting to close. Also get a sup who can tank.

Caitlyn

Extreme

Whoever is the best Caitlyn wins!

Samira

Major

Samira is a strong champ against Cait. She can block any of you're attacks ( which includes r ) with her w and does more damage mid game. The best way to approach this game is to play poke. Cait has way more range than Samira so try and dodge her q and don't push too far. You definitely want to buy Galeforce so if she tries to dash away you can still chase her down. Only use r on Samira when you know her W is on cooldown. It is important to get a sup who can Stun/Root (Like Morgana). Samira is going to be easy to kill when not being able to dash, that's when to push.

Vayne

Major

Vayne is not so good early on so try and win lane early game because she scales hard. Also don't run away from her, it's the worst thing you can do.

Ashe

Major

Ashe is only tricky if you're fighting a one trick. If you are fighting a one trick then try and poke with your q and be smart with your traps. Stay behind minions to dodge her w.

Aphelios

Major

Aphelios is a tricky one. He can confuses you with all his different weapons. Poke him until he gets pretty low and push him hard.

Tristana

Major

Tristana is interesting. She has low health and a small range, making it easy to poke her early on. When Trist gets w then that's when you'll get problems. The best way to win against Trist is to poke her with q and passive to get her hp lower. When Trist is low push as fast as you can because she will w away. Always keep her w in mind because
when Trist jumps in with w she will demolish you. If you can also get a sup that can tank for you that will help a lot.

Ezreal

Even

Ezreal is all poke. Dodge his q and try to poke him as much as you can. Remember Ezreal's e is a dash; so he'll be able to escape most of the time. One of the best things against him is your r. When Ezreal is low He'll use e / flash or even both to get away, just use r and easy clap.

Jinx

Even

Jinx isn't a hard matchup. Try and dodge her w and don't walk into her traps. Keep in mind that her rockets give her long range. One of the best things against Jinx are your traps. Get you're sup to stun her and then place traps.

Kai'Sa

Even

Kai'sa can be tough sometimes. Her W gives her long range, her E gives her movement speed, and her R gives a shield. Dodge her W and she'll have no range so you'll easily be able to poke. Try to be smart with your traps so she can't escape with her E. If Kai'sa uses R you can hit her with your E and get away. Get boots quickly then rush Galeforce.

Lucian

Even

Lucian is not too hard because of his short range. Remember he has a dash so he can push you pretty hard. When Lucian uses his R stand behind a teammate or minions. Try
to buy Galeforce and boots as quick as you can.

Xayah

Even

Wait for Xayah to use abilities and you can rush her and it wont be a problem. Don't go in front of her feathers; if she roots you it wont be hard for her to burst. She can block your R with her R so try to time it where you use R after her.

Miss Fortune

Even

Not too much of a threat. High damage so be careful not to get to close (bully her with your range).

Zeri

Even

Zeri isn't a hard matchup if you play it right. Dodge her w and she has no range so you can poke quite easily. Keep in mind of her dash because she can dash over jungle and and get close. Zeri will scale late game so you need to win lane early; bully her with poke and try not to let her get CS. In conclusion use your range and don't get close to her (also watch out for her late game).

Nilah

Minor

Close range champ so not a hard matchup. Don't try to auto attack/headshot her when her W is up (she will block it).

Varus

Minor

Not hard at all. Super squishy. Rush him with your sup and you should almost win every time (the only time you lose against this champ is when you have a horrible sup and he has an good sup). Definitely buy Galeforce.

Blitzcrank

Ideal

A good blitz is one of the best sups you can have. Whenever he use hook or knock-up make sure to put traps behind the enemy.

Galio

Ideal

Galio is good when you have a sup who knows how to play him. Make sure your Galio camps bushes and tanks for you. Shouldn't be too hard of a game if you play well with your sup.

Leona

Ideal

Leona is one of the best tank sups. Not only does she have a lot of health but she has three stuns. Just make sure you deal a lot of damage and don't get targeted.

Malphite

Ideal

Malphite is best when he has ult. Play a little passive until you and Malphite are both level six. When both level six play super agro.

Morgana

Strong

Morgana can work really well with Caitlyn. Morgana's E will prevent you from getting stunned so you can play extra aggressive. When Morgana roots an enemy you can easily place traps on them. Morgana players always buy clock, make sure that when she does use clock you don't get targeted.

Alistar

Strong

Alistar is great for tanking some damage, so when the enemies are attacking him hard focus enemy adc. Don't rely on Alistar for damage because he doesn't do any. If you feel like your comp need more damage go Kraken Slayer.

Lulu

Strong

Lulu can give you a shield, extra damage and her Polymorph is broken. All around good sup for an aggressive play style.

Bard

Strong

Bard is a chill support. Bard has stun so you can use you're traps with it. Bard places little heals on the ground wait for them to be fully charged. You can pair you're R with his R. When the enemy is far away get Bard to R than chase and if they get away use R.

Pyke

Strong

You only want Pyke as your sup if he's
really good. A good Pyke will hit most of his Qs and will use his E at the right time. It's your job to play up his stuns by placing traps (GET YOUR W AT LEVEL 2 OR EVEN LEVEL 1). When you are up against laners that have a lot of poke (Lux, Sivir, Ashe, Ezreal,) you HAVE to play aggressive (it's kinda the whole point of having a Pyke sup anyways).

Lux

Strong

Play safe because both you and lux can poke a lot. Wait for lux to hit a Q and than place traps.

Renata Glasc

As of now, Renata Glasc being a good support depends on how skillful you're sup is . Renata's E will give you a shield if nearby so make sure you stick to her. Renata's Q will root the enemy and can then push them in any direction, place traps either in front
or behind so Renata can push the enemy into your traps.
