I find Alistar matchup one of the easiest. You can poke him and stay out of range and every time he tries to damage you back, you will damage him even more. He can escape your burst with his ultimate so dont bother wasting your ultimate on him, just bully him out of lane and push him to oblivion. His only chance to lane against you is when he gets Spirit Visage, then just push him to tower and help your team with securing objectives.
Akali
Squishy, cant harm you pre 6, easy lane. Harras and zone her so she cant CS and get health back with her passive spellvamp. If she has teleport, she has verylow chances to kill you after you get Hexdrinker. If she has ignite, be careful post 6 and force teamfights because she cant join them as quick as you. Be sure to call ss every time she is away and buy pink wards to counter her W.
Aatrox
You can harras him all the day. He can harass you back with his E so try to dodge it as its a pretty narrow and visible skill shot. Get Dorans Blade, harass him every time he goes for CS, dont let him auto creeps for free, he gets alot hp back. If he tries to jump on you, Q him, jump behind him and proc your W as much as possible. If your are lucky enough, you will get mega Gnar and as he tries to run trough brush, slam him to the wall, proc his passive and finish him. You have better teamfights, you are more tanky and you have more damage, abuse it.
Cho'Gath
Nah, this isnt as easy as it looks. He outsustains you, he outdamages you early and has really good CC. Buy early Banshees, then go for Hexdrinker and Warmogs. Getting some hp is important to counter his true damage. Abuse your AA-AA-Q combo, dodge his stuff, you'll be fine.
Dr. Mundo
Mundo is immensely tanky and when he gets Spirit Visage and Warmogs, you have no chance forcing him out of the lane. Poke him eary, dodge his Q's, outscale him in teamfights.
Jax
If you dont get jumped by him, you are fine. After he uses his stun-leap combo, you can kite him with ease. He outdamages you in extended trades, be careful. Get Dorans Shield, rush Thornmail and Randuins. Try to peel him off your carries or jump his carries if you can. In mid game, you have more use than him in teamfights but he heavily outscales you in late game.
Darius
He's annoying as much as Darius can be. His damage isnt something to laugh at and he gets tons of free armpen. Build hp and poke him every time he misses that hook. If he hooks you in lane and you have no E or Flash you are most of the times dead. Outsustan him, push him to tower, outscale him, be more useful in teamfights and dodge these hooks.
Fiora
This wont be your favourite matchup. Her early game burst is really strong so let her push you to tower. She has no way to escape ganks and her only way to escape your Mega burst is ulting you. Buy Thornmail and Randuins, bait her ult, then slam her to the wall. In teamfights, pay attention to who is she ulting. When her ultimate ends, you can be in position to stun her and burst the shit out of her. She outdamages you, but she has no way to stop you from destroying her backline.
Jarvan IV
In lane, he is gonna poke you with Q-AA combo. He can kill you when you are mini, but he has no chance against your Mega burst as you can slam him to his own ultimate. This is more about skill. Dodge his stuff, poke him when he misses his stuff, dont get baited by his E-Q escape and when he jumps your backline, counter engage.
Garen
Not many things he can do against you. Dont get baited by his brush combo and when he tries to run for you, kite him to oblivion. Easy lane, easy life.
Jayce
He has poke, he has DPS, he has burst. He can out damage you at any stage of the game and with well landed Thundering Blow, he can screw up your initiation. Be careful, get Thornmail, then go for Warmogs.
Lissandra
You can poke her, she can poke you. You can burst her, she can burst you. Dodge her Q's, buy Banshees, dont get baited by her ult or Zhonyas and only initiate on her team when she has no ult or you have spellshield up. She can really screw you up, but the counterplay to her is real...not easy, but its there. Find it :)
Lulu
She is a biatch. She can shield your poke and poke you back. She can completely screw up your initiation with her polymorph. Her disengage and peel is one of the strongest in the game. She is not commonly played top now, but you can see her sometimes...try to avoid this matchup, if she has at least half of her brain, you have no chance.
Maokai
He is that type of tanky, low damage type of toplaner you are supposed to counter. Poke him with your autoattacks as he has no way to escape you, dont let him charge his passive of your Q casts so he has to use his mana to sustain your poke and force him to back. Medium hard matchup, he can kill you if you aren't aware.
Nasus
This is THE easiest matchup for you. If you aren't braindead, you will win this. Dont let him cs even if you have to sacrifise some CS of your own. He is late game beast and his early game sucks. He can do nothing against you and that 300 bonus HP from his ult wont save him from your burst most of the times. Harras him, kite him, destroy him. Tell your support to buy Mikaels ASAP so your adc doesnt get destroyed by Wither. Buy Thornmail, Randuins, consider buying Black Cleaver or Triforce to harass him even more. Dont let him CS out of your lane. If mid is pushing and he is bot, go there and kill him. Make his lategame worthless.
