Ideal Synergies

Alistar

Extreme

This guy knocks you under tower when you E under him and his teammates to secure stuns. Always engage when you have a frozen lane to get rid of this horrible counter.

Bard

Minor

This guy has the option to get you ganked from places you wouldn't have expected it, for example Red side of the map behind the defence line of the wall from the river. Keep an eye on his roaming and the Jungler's pathing for when they could be working together.

Kha'Zix

Major

This is the kind of champion you completely take out of the game by building Anathema's Chains and being the first to attack 'em, to use up all of their abilities whilst taking low damage.

Cassiopeia

Extreme

Her ground ability is DISGUSTING. Avoid fighting her alone, you will die.

Draven

Even

This guy with Hail of Blades hurts. Take Exhaust if you see him locked in, and you should be fine after that to snowball by killing each time your Exhaust is up until it's safe to kill him without it.

Evelynn

Major

This is the kind of champion you completely take out of the game by building Anathema's Chains and being the first to attack 'em, to use up all of their abilities whilst taking low damage.

Karthus

Even

His ult is gonna kill you. Stick Anathema's Chains on him.

Lulu

Major

While easy to kill, her transmog is a really tough one to fight, so be sure to play around her cooldowns, or ask your ADC to engage first, so you don't have your Q cancelled. Also her Ult will stop yours from landing often.

Ashe

Minor

Her slows are pain. Ask your ADC to be your proxy ability to kite, or she'll damage you all the way back to the tower.

Zilean

Minor

His Ult stops your Ult. Be sure to keep an eye on when he activates it.

Morgana

Even

Her shield is a pain in the backside. Try to charge your Q while you have two targets in the laning phase and switch target based on who she shields.

Heimerdinger

Even

He turrets block your Q. He's annoying. Use your E first and Q later once he's started running away.

Leona

Even

Don't focus Leona unless the enemy ADC is far enough away to miss at least a couple of autos while you take her down. She's so darned tanky.

Vladimir

Extreme

Fast, invulnerable, healing. Everything you don't want. He's a good ban, but Tristana and Samira are better bans.

Soraka

Minor

Easy to kill, but she'll waste your Ult a lot with hers.

Pantheon

Extreme

This guy beats you in lane, there's nothing that'll stop it other than sheerly being a better player. Focus the ADC and then hope to get out with both of you alive. He'll usually escape.

Sett

Extreme

Use Anathema's chains on this guy. 100%

Ashe

Ideal

You'll stun, she'll slow, they'll run, they'll die. Maybe even at 6 SHE'LL stun!

Kalista

Ideal

Her damage when attacking the same target as you for 8% life is huge early on, and it allows you to push together really hard. Her ult is also fantastic.

Senna

Strong

Glacial Augment is amazing for chasing people down, ask that your Senna ADC takes this in champ select.

Jinx

Strong

Big damage, and a trapstun, plus she's fast. Almost ideal.

Akshan

Strong

His revive ability means you should always be the one to be taking damage. With luck you'll get a sneaky 2 for 1 and be up again in a heartbeat.

Kai'Sa

She's soso, but her Ult is what matters. You can sneak in with your W and have her ult to you even when the enemy is falling back and playing safe.

Varus

Strong

His abilities are great, and his ult will set you up for a CC chain.

Sivir

Strong

Her ability to soak up an ability is huge early. And her speed at 6 allows her to match your engage speed.

Ezreal

None

I hate this guy. I hate him so much. He wrecks me when I play against him, and minions are always in his way when he's on my side. Ask that your ADC does not play Ezreal.

Miss Fortune

Nothing special here. She's okay.

Samira

Ideal

Get her fed and the game is won. She's not overly strong early though so make sure you do most of the work.

Tristana

Ideal

Her jump allows you to engage when the enemy feels safe, and to catch them offguard. Warning though, she's kinda weak early.
