He can zone you off of ever farming, and will scale just as hard as you. In this matchup you should focus on roaming and helping your jungler with scuttle crabs and objectives.
Malzahar
He can out push you, out damage you, and scales just as hard as you. He will always win the fight when he has his R, and he will never fight without it. He also has insane gank setup. You can still farm against him, which is the only reason he isn't as bad as xerath, but you will probably never kill him in lane unless he misplays. Just like with xerath, you should focus on roaming and helping your jungler with objectives. His passive can also block a mushroom, so be sure to place multiple so he will still hit others. He is also very squishy, so if his spellshield is down you can one-shot him late game.
Zoe
Early levels aren't so bad, but once she gets 6 you won't be able to walk up to lane, and she scales just as much as you, if not more, depending on her runes.
Annie
She will win every trade early unless you auto her several times, which probably won't happen. After 6 she can one-shot you whenever she wants, so don't fight her when she has R. She will be squishy, so she will take a lot of damage from shrooms after you have Liandry's.
Zed
While he is very strong, you can still farm and poke him. Seekers is very good here. Once he hits 6 he will almost always win the 1v1, unless you either have already poked him down to half health, or he misses his Qs. You will outscale him very quickly so just try to get decent farm and don't die.
Akali
Akali is tricky, because her q is almost your auto attack range and is impossible to miss, and when she hits 6 she can just go in and kill you. You can poke and trade with her before 6, but after the lane becomes an all-in lane. if she hits shroom while fighting you she will probably lose, so when she uses her w you can throw a shroom down, and if its in minions it will probably hit her. You will outscale and eventually be able to zone her simply by putting mushrooms down in the lane or jungle pathways.
