Extreme Threats

Ideal Synergies

Kassadin

Tiny

Easy matchup as her q won't even damage you if you have your passive up, and if she goes in for a combo, make sure you punish her hard because you out damage her. Ensure you windwall her q if you don't have your passive up. If she ultimates you, e through her, and activate windwall.

Lux

Fizz

Irelia

Riven

Minor

Skill based matchup but a skilled Yasuo will have the edge, max q to maximise dps.

Pantheon

Minor

Skilled matchup, start cloth 4 and out sustain his mana pool and it's easy, if you make mistakes it can be difficult but your aim is simply to keep your flow up, and out sustain his mana pool.

Kayle

Even

Bit difficult but still she lacks high range, so you can farm quite safely as she is forced to push the wave, and her e is predictable, so if she just used it, you can just wait it out.

Darius

Major

You can easily stop his q heal by dashing into him, and will win all short trades thanks to your shield, but be careful as once he hits 6, he will kill you.

Akali

Major

pre-6 she's easy, post 6 she's difficult because of her stealth and ability to wait for her cooldowns, don';t underestimate her damage, and poke her down with q, never go for an all in as her thunderlord, and q proc will do huge damage.

Annie

Major

A skilled annie player is difficult due to how she will position herself, try to shove her in tower and force her to miss cs as the only way you'll kill her is if she makes a huge missplay, at 6 she can one shot you so ensure you have a hexdrinker as usual.

Zed

Major

This matchup is a bit iffy in the fact you can outplay him, and out trade him early due to your shield, but he can kill you once he gets 6. Try to obtain a lane advantage pre-6, and make sure you dodge/windwall his q. He does a lot of damage if he lands a full combo, but if he misses it, he cannot fight back. Exhaust helps.

Talon

Major

Pre-6 (as usual) he can be bullied, but once he hits 6, and has at least an armor pen item, he will be looking to poke you down with his rake, and once your at least 70% hp, he will all in you and kill you. Exhaust is helpful.

Azir

Extreme

Annoying champion to deal with, only real way of winning is A. He's not skilled with the champ. B.Farm safely and give up farm to harass C. Get jungle ganks

Malzahar

Extreme

High threat due to his silence, suppression, and generally annoying kit with his passive. If you get flash ulti'd by this guy, you're most likely getting ganked so the only option is to either rush a qss which will offer magic resist and will mean you'll never die to his ultimate, or rush a hexdrinker for a shot at "winning lane" Generally playing passive is enough. Items to rush - Qss, hexdrinker, life steal, phantom dancer, frozen mallet. Mallet is so he can't kite you. Start Doran's blade and aim to get a early refillable as you'll be popping potions a lot. Life steal is helpful but generally farm, you will out scale him and will easily 1v1 him later in the game.

Renekton

Extreme

difficult, just play safe and farm. Cloth 5 + pots can cheese him as you'll be able to out trade him and do a lot of damage back. If he jumps on you, e away, if he does a full combo, don't let him get away and fight him due to his cooldowns being down.

Orianna

Minor

similar to lux except she has a strong team fight, and she can simply stay safe until you get ganked. Just farm, unless she plays aggressive.

Ahri

Even

You can windwall every one of her abilities however this is mostly a skill orientated match up, if confident, rush statikk, if you feel like you want to play safe, rush hexdrinker. She can also aa you to break your shield.
