She lacks wave clear, but her sustain and damage is really strong. Harrassing her early while dodging her charm is really effective, but be careful when she hits level 6. A 1v1 at full health with a level 6 Ahri won't go well, because you can't get your stun on her and you don't have any mobility. Clear the wave fast and just poke with your E.. if she wants to get close to you, be ready to dodge the charm and use your Q for extra shield.
Akali
She has a really weak laning phase, but she can 1v1 you at level 6, due to her dashes. It's an easy matchup, because you'll deny her farm really hard. After level 6, you have way more wave clear then her and even if she tries to engage with ult, you lay your W and kite back.
Anivia
She is slow, her stun can be dodged easily and you can harrass her a lot. Keep in mind her level 6 powerspike because her damage when you are hit with a stun or slowed by her ult is MASSIVE. Don't get fooled by her low hp, remember her annoying passive.
Annie
She doesn't have good wave clear and you outrange her a lot. Use that as well as you can because her stun + burst will tear you apart. Poke her with your laser as much as you can and if she tries to get close zone her with your W.
Azir
Azir has good harrass early and doesn't use as much mana as you. Also, he has a pretty decent wave clear. Poke him with your E, and if he uses his Q on you, go behind the soldiers (and out of their range) and try to trade with him, because he'll be vulnerable.
Brand
It's easy to poke him because you have way more range and if you dodge his stun you can pretty much outtrade him or even kill him. Don't engage at full health, though, poke first.
Cassiopeia
DON'T get hit by her poison, because she'll chase you down and you can lose the trade really easy. Early game she loses a lot of mana if she spams Q + E on you. If you got poisoned, use W to zone / stun her and then outtrade.
Diana
Everything is fun and games until she reaches level 6. She is not as squishy as most mid laners and can farm safely even in your poke. Level 6 is really hard because her damage increases significantly and she has mobility + some CC.
Fizz
He has a lot of mobility, good 1v1 potential and low cooldown on E. Keep in mind that he can W Q you and then E back to safety. You can still poke him a lot and kite him, but at level 6 BEWARE because he can drop you down even at full health.
Heimerdinger
The only two things that make the Donger strong are shoving the wave and constant manaless damage by his turrets. You have range and you don't have to get near those turrets. Your wave clear is good as well and you can even destroy the turrets with your laser. He can't poke too much so it's pretty easy.
Kassadin
He has a passive laning phase and unlike Akali, he doesn't have sustain. Use that in your favour. Deny him as much as you can. At level 6, wait for him to engage, he'll use his R E Q combo to trade, and then you can use your W to catch him and then trade back. Your burst is good and you can kite him.
Katarina
Pretty much easy lane... she can't do much because you can poke, if she engages you have W to catch her and your ult cancels any channel (her ult is a channel).
LeBlanc
Her early damage is really high so you have to be very careful because you'll lose trades easily. Her W can help her escape your stun and after level 6 she can easily trade with Q R and you won't be able to do much about it.
Lissandra
She lacks burst and wave clear early on, and you can use that in your favor. Her Q is the only thing she can poke with, and that has a low range.
Lux
She has a decent laning phase due to the fact that she has long range and can farm safely. You don't have any gap closer so she has nothing to fear. Don't underestimate her level 6 burst.. her range is bigger and a full combo from her will leave you really low and you won't be able to trade back.
Lulu
She has a really safe lane and her shield, polymorph and ult denies your trades and even your burst. Be careful with her because she can chase you down and AA you a lot.
Malzahar
He has good wave clear but ... that's that. He has low range, no mobility and no significant poke. You can easily trade with him as long as you stay away from his E.
Orianna
She has long range and good wave clear. She can farm safely and all you can do is just poke her with your laser. DON'T go close to her because you'll lose the trades. Her shield and AA help her A LOT.
Swain
He has low range and can't do much to you. Your burst is a counter to his ult sustain and you can take ignite with that to finish him. He has no mobility so you can stun him easily.
Syndra
She has a nice wave clear and safe laning phase. Be careful and try not to get stunned because she has lots of burst and you can't trade back.
Talon
It's a skill matchup because he has only one gap closer, and you can counter that with your W.. but you can poke him and he can't do that due to lack of range. Just keep your W up always and you should be fine... his level 6 is strong because you he has a good burst.
Twisted Fate
HE doesn't have wave clear and he lacks range. Easy peasy. You can free poke him and your burst is much greater than his.
Veigar
Also, just as TF, he has no range and you can harrass him a lot. But beware, his level ult combo is reaaally strong because the more AP you get the more damage he'll get.
Vel'Koz
He has good wave clear but lacks good poke, whereas you can do both. Be careful and dodge his skill because getting a W E Q really gets your health low.
Vladimir
He has nice sustain but can't do much to you because you have wave clear and your shield denies one of his spells, outtrading him easily. Also, he lacks burst.
Xerath
His poke is way better and so is his wave clear. None of you have mobility but you can't get W on him due to his huge range. Just try to poke back and DON'T get stunned.
Yasuo
Lots of mobility and early damage. You can't kite him good and he can get past your W. Be careful, always wait for his engage. He can be bursted fast but you have to bait his windwall first.
Zed
Really hard matchup. He's an assassin and that's your biggest fear. He can trade really good and at level 3 he can go ham. If your flash is down you have to be careful and try to use your W when he ults, otherwise you're dead meat.
Ziggs
He has range but you can dodge the bombs easy. Your burst is really high and he can't 1v1 you because his ult has a longer cast time.
