Garen is not much of a threat the first 5 levels of the game. DO NOT LET HIM GET AHEAD. After level 6 he just kills you if you misplay
Runes: Phase Rush
Darius
Darius is a lane bully and will kill you over and over if you don't play the matchup correctly. Phase Rush is a must, when going for minions you want to E + Sky AA into your poison. This will proc phase rush and allow you to run away from his hook. If you survive laning phase he's useless, farm under turret if possible. Remember your W prevents him from ulting
Runes: Phase Rush
Aatrox
A good Aatrox will molest you with his Q's. A good rule of thumb is to just use Phase Rush whenever farming. If he's merking you over and over consider staying under tower
Runes: Phase Rush
Kayle
Kayle is disgusting after 6, if you go Conqueror you can cheese her pre-6 but generally it's safer going Phase Rush for the post-6 terrorism. Pre-6 get as much farm as you can, post-6 sit under turret and spam ping for ganks. You can also go for a Flash goo fling.
Runes: Phase Rush (Conqueror if ballsy)
Dr. Mundo
Mundo is incredibly abusable early game. If he pushes level 1 you can run him down with Conqueror + Ignite at level 2 when you get your flip. Never under estimate his healing at 6, though keep in mind your R gives grevious wounds
Runes: Conqueror
Gangplank
I hate Gangplank players, sit under turret and wait for ganks. You're more useful later on
Runes: Phase Rush
Fiora
Farm under turret, DO NOT TRY TO FIGHT HER WITHOUT A JUNGLER. You will usually be more useful so focus on roaming if possible
Runes: Phase Rush
Gwen
Gwen is a fun and relaxing match up, keep her Q procs in mind before going in unless you wanna tank 4xQ. Her only way of killing you is her R, so be ready to side step it. Otherwise you just kill her
Runes: Conqueror
Illaoi
She's annoying as hell, but if you get hit by her E you can usually just fling her away from your ghost and harass her. If she R's run away and wait till it's over.
Runes: Conqueror
Camille
Singed players are pretty divided on how hard Camille is to play against. Generally you can harass her in the early levels. Eventually she'll outscale and do too much damage for you to handle unless you're giga ahead.
Runes: Conqueror
Jax
Pre-6 he beats you, farm up and wait for level 6. When you get your ult you can run him down over and over
Rune: Conqueror
Kled
Kled is annoying but beatable, generally you can push him to turret and keep him there. Keep in mind his yellow bar when fighting him, if it's almost full don't fight him unless you're sure you can kill Skaarl.
Runes: Conqueror
Cho'Gath
You can run Cho'gath down from level 2, though keep in mind his damage can be surprisingly high at low levels.
Runes: Conqueror
Malphite
He's likely going to play safe most of the laning phase. Just farm and be careful of his ultimate when fighting. If he's at your turret you can run him down if he doesn't Q you
Runes: Conqueror
Sett
Respect his damage and know your limits. He's easily killable, beware of his W though. If he's ahead just buy Rylai's and kite him.
Runes: Conqueror
Singed
Nobody can beat Singed.
Mordekaiser
Against Mordekaiser you need to play around his Q and E timings. Keep your W+E up incase he R's you. In his ult just fling him into your puddle of piss and run away.
Runes: Conqueror
Vayne
Farm under turret, by picking Vayne she's crippled her team comp. You'll win if she doesn't get fed. Stand under turret, ping for ganks and try to do W + Flash + E under turret.
Runes: Phase Rush
Kennen
See: Vayne
Volibear
Don't get stunned in his W and keep in mind his healthboost with R and you won't lose
Runes: Conqueror
Urgot
Don't get E'ed. Urgot will always automatically push the wave due to his shotgun knees, let him push to your turret and fight him there. Keep in mind his R is an execute, so stay above 30% health at all times, if you're below try to sidestep his ult
Runes: Conqueror
Tryndamere
Keep him away from you and farm up. If he ults and tries to kill you W + E and wait for his ult to run out
Runes: Conqueror
Trundle
Don't fight trundle, just farm and keep yourself safe. Keep in mind he can make small walls to slow your escape
Runes: Phase Rush
Yorick
If he catches you in his cage post-6, you're dead. Stand under turret and accept that he's going to have a better early game. Late game keep an eye on him and contest if he splits
Runes: Phase Rush
Sion
You can run him down from level 2. If he tries to Q you, fling him to interrupt him. Sion is literally the easiest matchup in lane if you play like a honeybadger with rabies. Post laning phase keep an eye on him, he can solo end game if you don't
Runes: Conqueror
Nasus
Nasus won't kill you in lane if you know what you're doing. He will outscale you hard though. Try to disrupt him from taking minions. Every Q he uses on you is a Q he hasn't used on a minion. If he R's and then slows you proc Phase Rush and pop ghost and he can't catch you.
Runes: Phase Rush
Tahm Kench
Dodge his tongue and don't let him R you near turret and then you should win the matchup. If he gets ahead he's still useless in teamfights—usually a free matchup.
Runes: Conqueror
Maokai
Run him down with Conqueror like you would a Sion or Tahm Kench.
Runes: Conqueror
Teemo
See: Vayne
Ornn
He out damages you early, post 6 you should win. Keep in mind your W can prevent him from activating the second phase of his ult. So he basically has no ult if you're around
Runes: Conqueror
Shen
Shen does a lot of damage early on. Wait till your ult and you can basically run him down. Remember to use W on his R so he can't help his teammates. A good Shen will run into a bush and do it, so throw W's into the bush if he enters one.
Runes: Conqueror
Udyr
I literally don't know how to beat this guy. Just stay under turret and wait for ganks.
Runes: Phase Rush
Olaf
He used to be OP, but he's much more manageable now. Take good trades and all in him right after a good one. Keep in mind his Ult has infinite duration if he keeps hitting you, so it might be worth blowing flash or ghost if he's running you down
Runes: Conqueror
Renekton
Generally just keep your wits about you. Don't fuck with him too much early game. Once you have Demonic you can fight him pretty easily.
Runes: Conqueror
Yone
Buy Wardens mail if he gives you too much trouble. Generally, just play safe against Yone
Runes: Phase Rush
Rammus
Free lane, just run him down. Don't get taunted under turret though. If he proxies, let him.
Runes: Conqueror
Ashe
Her slows allow you to catch the enemy carries easier.
Zac
Nothing better than a huge AoE CC for you to spread your poison in.
Jarvan IV
Jarvan will literally int you due to his ult.
Amumu
AoE CC, yummy.
