[Conqueror or Phase rush] this is a very rough matchup, the early levels are fine and you can get a lead, but after she reaches 2 items she oneshots and outheals you, my personal permaban.
Gwen
[Conqueror] phase rush does nothing into her cause shes immune so sorry bro your skill issue doesnt allow it.
She is mostly a problem in the early-midgame, once you get your MR you can stomp her in an extended trade, but still CARE FOR HER TRUE DMG.
Camille
[Conqueror or Grasp]. She isnt a big problem in lane at all, but once she reaches divine, man. she will outheal you every trade. so get early antiheal and pray you can bully her enough to get a big lead, or you will NEVER recover.
Kled
[phase rush or conq] fuck this guy. you dont seeh im often but that antiheal on his Q is cancer. you cannot win the early game, so sit back and scale. pray for some CS, because if het gets onto you he wont let go and if he goes lethality he will also 100-0 you. in the midgame you start to outscale him and you can destroy him.
Irelia
[Grasp or conq] this champ is full build at 1 item. ask your jungler nicely to gank her, if he does this matchup becomes free, still care for her BOTRK spike. You can harras her freely in lane but once she gets that item, you cannot walk up untill 2-3 items.
Olaf
[take phase rush] you cannot do this matchup witout phase rush or he will jsut get onto you and run you down without counterplay. after lv11 you win super hard.
Sylas
[Take conqueror] this matchup is just a straight up counterpick he uses your R better then you do. I personally dont encounter him often but if you do, try to harras him and bully him and NEVER engage pre6 fights while he has your R stolen.
Riven
[Conqueror or phase rush] she is super mobile and can easily 100-0 you lv 6. but the levels 1-5 are yours. take care she allways runs ignite. and you win post 3 items.
Darius
[phase rush] this is a hard matchup but once you get the hang of it its not as bad. you need flash ghost and phase rush just to be able to kite him, if you burn his ghost you can play super agressive because he cannot do anything unless you play dumb and get hit by apprehend. Lategame is yours. just zhonyas the R
Akali
[Conqueror or Grasp] this would be a 5 on mid but because the lane is longer there is more room to punish her, especialy since you destroy her after getting spirit visage 3th.
Yone
[Conq or grasp] play very passive lv 1 because of lethal tempo, q spam him from range.if you get through the early game, you win, be sure to get zhonyas second to block his dumb ass E dmg.
Kayle
[Grasp or conqueror] bully her as hard as you can cause post 16 its over. you win every stage of the game before that.
Vayne
[Electrocute] Bully her with electrocute as hard as you can and get a lead, go full AP cause if you dont, she will make you look like you went full AP without the dmg.
Akshan
[Electrocute] Easier then vayne but still rough, His E is annoying to deal with so Q spam his Ass proc electrocute as much as you can and he cant sustain. you stomp him lategame.
Aatrox
[Conq] fun skill matchup, get antiheal and pray he doesnt, then its free. You can win at every stage of the game, so can he.
Rumble
[Grasp or Conqueror] the matchup can go south of he kills you once. but that shouldnt happen. so just play agressive and keep the poke up, he has no sustain only a shield.
Garen
[Phase rush] Keep your distance and spam q and E, if he gets onto you with Q E stridebreaker, its over unless you ulter/have zhonyas. His ult will execute you.
Illaoi
[Conq or phase rush] take phase if you arent sure, you need to kite her ult a bit and use phase to walk out of it if needed, get zhonyas 3rd or second and you should be fine.
Urgot
[grasp/Conq] just dont let him R you. He can deal a lot of dmg so dont underestimate him. if you get to 4 items you can easil win, but still care for all his sshred.
Gnar
[Conqueror] just be sure to take second wind, lategame you win as long as he doesnt ult your entire team. but in lane its pretty much even. if you get stacks count yourself lucky since he is ranged.
Sett
[Grasp or conq] his Q and R can deal a lot of dmg, if he goes blade, he can be dangerous but he is also super squishy so you can delete him if played right, get zhonyas to dodge his W
Yasuo
[grasp or conq] Rough early game because of his dumb e dashes, get frozen heart and you win from the midgame onward.
Pantheon
[Grasp or Conq] be sure to take boneplating since it hard counters his empowered W. He can shred you especialy with Ignite, however he cant deal with you permanently stacking HP, get a frozen heart and demolish him after level 6
Quinn
[Electrocute] You can demolish her in lane, she can however deal with your ult pretty easily before you get rylais. She can also perma roam so be sure to punish it with the turret gold.
K'Sante
[Conqueror or grasp] Matchup can go both ways. He is still annoying even after the nerfs. I would recommend rushing liandry rylais and getting some armor. The rest is the usualy build, fights are usualy pretty even, but be sure to shotgunblast him with q after his Ult.
Jayce
[Conqueror or grasp] pretty easy to deal with but care after 2 items, since his dmg starts to skyrocket and he can 100-0 your if you dont watch out.
Kennen
[Electrocute or Grasp] His dmg is very easy to deal with, just be sure to get an early spirit visage and he wont be a problem at any point of the game.
Jax
[conqueror] Even though this champ is retardedly strong rn, i dont really have problems with him myself. you can q spam his face, and if you get frozen heart and spirit visage 3th-4th he should never be able to beat you. just dont underestimate his dmg.
Volibear
[Grasp] very easy matchup, just care if he goes AP cause he can dish out a ton of dmg.
Yorick
[Conqueror or Grasp] matchup is pretty easy, just as long as you dodge his E, that makes him literally useless. just be sure to care for him split pushing your entire lane to victory
Tryndamere
[Phase rush or grasp] If he cant kill you during his R he loses, which happens to happen every time after you get rylais.
Teemo
[electrocute] This rat is useless
Malphite
[Conqueror or grasp] One of the easiest champs to deal with, he was meant to counter AD, so unless you go crit swain he is super easy.
Maokai
[Grasp] stack free grasp, get a visage and free win every single trade.
Sion
[grasp] FREE WIN. you can perma stack on him, get a liandry and his passive kills him faster.
Cho'Gath
[Grasp] just care for his R burst you should easily destroy him however
Ornn
[Grasp or conqueror] dont get 100-0 by his max HP dmg, also his w can dodge your E pull so you wont have as much stacks but he cant really kill you usually.
Shen
[Grasp or conq] just bully him, he can never fight you unless he has a jungler.
Singed
[Conqueror] Get ready for a PVE game. he cant deal with you so he will proxy farm most likely getting your jungler free kills
Tahm Kench
[Grasp] Free stacks, he can never really deal with you, his ult keeps your ult going as well so pretty easy all things considered.
Dr. Mundo
[Grasp] His passive is a bit annoying since you cant E him but you do deal extra dmg for hitting an E so thats pretty good!, he does outheal you full build but his R doesnt last forever like yours ;)
Gangplank
[Grasp or phase rush] phase rush you can use to just run him down, but be sure to take ghost ignite if you do that. You outranger him so killing barrels is easy just care for post lv 13 ghost barels since they will do tons of dmg.
Nasus
[Phase rush] be sure to build swifties and he would never be able to kill you, also get plated steelcaps to reduce his Q dmg and rush antiheal.
