skill matchup, u probably wont gonna 1 v 1 him until he will mess up his q combo. dodge well and u might beat him early lv 2 if you will hit q. when ur feeded early with dark seal and early antyheal, you dont need to be scared of him anymore, until u will mess up full combo, so consider asking jg for help =usefull passive if out of spells=
Ambessa
her movement is useless against you, u can kite her down if well played lv 1, lv 2 is as well easy, just watch out on 3rd lv cuz she might surprise you. build steelcaps if your struggling, if not, go core build. remember about antyheal, she is healing hard after lv 6 =usefull passive if out of spells= =easy dives=
Akali
rarly played against her, but when stacking mr you should easily win because of healing u have. she cant kill you with whole combo and when shes out of energy, just heal back =usefull passive= =easy dives=
Aurora
dont disrespect this pick, her poke is very good as well as movement, and when she will build antyheal pretty fast, ur out of the game, the only way to kill her is trying to all in, which is as well very hard considering her movement. you can as well try to kill her under tower, just hit Q on her while there is only few cs under your tower and then all in, insec with ULT into tower and you got her
=useless passive=
Darius
skill matchup, you can try to take cs lv 1, 2 if u see he is not confident, otherwise if he upgraded first W, stay back. if he will come close to your tower, try to bait his Q and E. If you will do it well, jump on him instantly to punish. if he is 60% of hp, go all in but only if he is out of spells (Q AND E). his ult is easily baitable cuz of your healing but dont disrespect it. antyheal is not necessary =useless passive=
=easy dives=
Cho'Gath
one of the easiest champs to play against, watch out in early cuz he might surprise you but mostly trade with ur W and RUNE lv 1. easy killable lv 2 if dodged spells, easily baitable ult so dont be scared of it until he hits u with E.
=usefull passive= =easy dives=
Camille
u can easily trade with her lv 1, try to not get poked enough and when u have lv prio u can kill lv 2. her Q has fast cd so dont be so greedy, w8 for ur spells to refresh and then fight back. try to dominate her early because after her first item it will be very hard to 1 v 1 her, unless your close to tower
=usefull passive=
Cassiopeia
skill matchup, her w can block ur jump cast as well as she has free ult stun when ur flying towards her, fast ms prevents u from hitting Q constantly. However you can easily make her out of mana + if you will hit Q u can go all in with ULT, just remeber about dodging her R and Q.
=useless passive=
Garen
long time didnt saw garen toplane ngl. As far as i know his execute is way worse then cho, or darius. dodge his Q and then try to do fast trades, dont overstay with his E and jump on him when you know its free kill, because his Q prevents you from further healing and damage by W R E, if well played easily killable under tower
=useless passive=
Dr. Mundo
in my opinion easiest champ to be against. he is stacking hp, ur W deals %DAMAGE and your outhealing his ult, the only problem with him is when he is lucky and his passive is dropping on his side instead of ur side. antyheal is not necessary
=usefull passive=
Fiora
skill matchup, lots of ppl think she counters zac and your right. However she cant dive u at all. If agressive in early, let her get the prio, otherwise u might poke her. try to bait her W with ur Q when u wil hit her to not get stunned. DONT TRY TO STUN HER WITH Q WHEN HER W IS UP. with E you can try to jump close to her, not on her, or you can use E to jump in place, the cast is so fast she shouldnt be able to W it. She is squishy so u might try all in if she is 60%hp. just DONT GET STUNNED
=useless passive=
Gangplank
one of the easiest picks, try to get prio early and break his barrels well, his W does sh*t against you, the only think you can be scared of is his Q spam, but soon enough he will be of mana, very squishy, easily all in.
=usefull passive if out of spells=
=easy dives=
Gnar
skill matchup try to not get poked and try to hit him with Q, his form is accually weak, thats the spot when you can deal some damage, but you need to dodge his spells, when he gets sheen, you will struggle a lot but without form if 70%hp u can hop all in.
=usefull passive if out of spells=
Gragas
early is very easy, he is low on mana and u constant heal, however if he will do antyheal and mana later, it will be very hard for you to lane against, try do do fast trades and if he pushes lane, just heal back under the tower, if he will waste E, you can try go all in but its not guarantee to kill him
=usefull passive if out of spells=
Gwen
try to poke her early, if u will dodge Q on lv 1, u can easily get prio and all in lv 2. considering ignite, because its not worth doing armor antyheal, when u will win early game, the game is yours. however if not, then u would do nothing to her 1 v 1 .
=usefull passive if mr=
=easy dives=
Heimerdinger
didnt play much against him. dodge his stun, then u might try all in, otherwise just cs under the tower, his one shot is crazy and you will probably not gonna hit Q at first spell onto him because of the towers.
=useless passive=
Illaoi
just dodge her e well. you can easily hit Q on her and pull up to her tentacle. you should win when she is out of ULT consider building antyheal =probably usefull passive=
Irelia
hard matchup. steelcaps must have against her, consider antyheal as well.
watch out for poke 1st lv by her PASSIVE, try to do fast trades with Q W E and just fall back. u can try jumping on her while her e is on cooldown, she will one shot your passive so you cant die at all. if she will miss E with no stacked passive, u might kill her.
=useless passive=
Jax
long time didnt played against him but as i remember he is pretty easy, just dodge his stun, get steelcaps, antyheal might be good as well, and poke him with q and w, u win every trade with full combo
=passive unknown tbh=
Jayce
dont get poked hard, he is low on mana and he wont gonna dive u, but he will probably one shot u while ur half hp, try to cancel his jump with hammer with Q and u will easily beat him
=usefull passive=
K'Sante
sometimes it is winnable but against master+ its almost impossible to lane against, u cant Q because of his W. E only in place, and his ult... try to poke him early and try to get advantage, dodge his W and Q well and u win
=useless passive=
Kayle
early you dominate she really cant do nothing until u will throw hard, lv 1 go with minions, lv 6 gets harder but if you got prio early, u should win, ULT first, if she will waste her ULT, just wait 80 sec, for your next ULT, her ult is 2 min cd. if you wont gonna get prio then ur game will be pretty hard especially in late game.
=usefull passive=
=easy dives until 6=
Kennen
hard matchup. hard to hit ur Q because of his movement, great poke. try to dodge his Q and try to go all in in early. he is really squishy, no hp regen and he wont gonna punish you hard when falling back after your combo, u just need to hit E or Q. dont fight him when he has ULT and antyheal until ur confident u kill him.
=useless passive maybe?=
Kled
watch out for his Q, when he hits it, just run away or counter it with ur Q, poke him early and dont be scared to go all in when he is off his horse, you have lots of cc and comparing to ur damage he wont gonna be able to come back to his horse.
=usefull passive if out of spells=
Malphite
easy matchup, hit ur spells, jump on him when ur up hp, when not just heal back, his E might do little trouble as well when he will stack a lot of mr late game.
=usefull passive=
=easy dives=
Maokai
we can compare him as a diffrent zac, but more defensive, watch out for his W, because he can chase you down, and try to bait his Q to not get pushed back. Easy matchup.
=usefull passive=
Mordekaiser
skill matchup bait his Q and E and you might win lv 2, poke him without triggering his passive, stay with minions mostly so he wont crit you with Q and dont fight when his ult is up and u wont gonna kill him, your goo is vanishing in brazil.
=usefull passive=
Nasus
early is very easy, u will always win trades, just watch out with his E, slow as might surprise you when stunning with Q. Dont fight with him when his ULT is up and he is full hp
=usefull passive=
=easy dives=
Olaf
he might cause little trouble. just try to do fast trades that he wont be able to answer back. with gold advantage by your side, dont be scared with his ULT, he is squishy so you might beat him. Not guaranteed tho, i didnt play against him long time.
=useless passive maybe?=
Ornn
after k'sante, the hardest tank you can encounter, try to poke him early and dont let him get crit attack by his W and you will be fine. you can jump behind him to bait his W and then try to cook smth. you can easily cancel his ULT by cc'ing him right before he hits this goat or smth.
=usefull passive=
Pantheon
stack armor and he is yours. squishy, no mobility. he cant even stop you when ur flying with E, just watch out when your low hp in early.
=usefull passive=
=easy dives=
Poppy
u might think its your counter but accually its not. just poke her, bait her Q well and DONT GET STUNNED by her E. she might be out of mana rq.
dont do long jump to her because of her W, you can try to jump in place to surprise her. Remember about her passive shield to pick it up as you pick up goo.
=usefull passive if he messes up=
Quinn
crazy counter. mobility, blindness prevents you from hitting Q, you cant jump on her because of her E with lower cd. and when she has ULT you WONT hit her with spells (probably) the only think you can do is trying to catch her with q, pull her closer and then when she is still rooted, jump and do some damage, she is squishy so after one good poke you might one shot her.
=usefull passive probably.=
Renekton
skill matchup. you dont need steelcaps if won early, but to do it, you need to bait his W and Q. u might try go fast trade when he is out of those spells and without FURY easy killable when ur level above him
=usefull passive if out of spells=
Riven
skill matchup, although with steelcaps it will be way easier. watch out in early, she might melt you rq. try to hit her with Q. U can easily cancel her THIRD Q by stunning her. if your close to tower, you can easily heal back as well so dont be scared if you will be low hp. If she uses ULT, just run to ur tower and your good
=usefull passive if out of spells=
Rumble
Pretty crazy champ, whoever gets the first kill probably wins the whole lane,
dodge his rockets well and dont disrespect his passive. Q doesnt deal really big damage early so you might try ignore it and try to poke him.
=usefull passive=
=easy dives=
Sett
if he goes E as first, you can try to trade with him. his Q is deadly with 4 fast aa. dodge well his W and try to bait E, he has long cd so after he is out of spells, you might try to poke him somehow. steelcaps really worth
=usefull passive if he messes up=
Shen
very easy. dodge his E and dont try to pull him with Q when he is his W. ur poke is way better, and he doesnt have any healing. Remember to cancel his ULT when you see him doing it
=usefull passive=
Singed
very easy, just dont be stupid under his tower, and dont follow his Q. easily beatable just dont be greedy.
poke him as much as you can from beginning.
=usefull passive=
Sion
very easy. he casts Q, and you can stun him. he casts W you can just easily get rid of that shield which will deal lots of damage, low mana, no healing.
=usefull passive=
=easy dives=
Tryndamere
If you will get prio early, he is so done, because he wont gonna get his FURY, dont waste jump if your not confident and watch out when his FURY is full. if he somehow gets you, then just sit under tower, he cant kill you even with out because of how much cc you have.
=useless passive=
Urgot
Very hard.. because of his PASSIVE you cant just walk around him and pick up all the goo. U NEED TO DODGE HIS E otherwise he will deal lot of damage. try to poke him lv 1 and watch out with your jump. he can catch you with E. his ult is very deadly as well so watch out with it.
=useless passive=
Varus
crazy poke. if you wont gonna get him early game, your out of the game. for real. call jungle for help. he has no mobility so you can try to jump onto him but, you wont probably one shot him when he is full hp and if he will flash back, his punish might be deadly, you can try to get him when he is close to tower but its not guaranteed as well..
=useless passive=
Vayne
her poke is way less painful than you think, but her ms and E which just cancels your E is crazy. However if you will catch her with Q, you might all in and even kill her. dont get poked hard early.
=usefull passive=
Vladimir
heal vs heal. funny matchup, but your way more tanky, so dont be scared to jump on him. early game he doesnt deal much damage so just take goo and heal back. try to poke him as much as you can and dont click Q on minion when he is in W, it wont work. get AP ANTYHEAL and you got him.
=usefull passive=
Volibear
i didnt play against him long time, always banning him. sick shield, easy dives, sick healing and late game he easily 3 v 1. but if you encounter him, dont get hit by his lightning and try to poke him hard, your W deals big damage to him, just dont use it when he shields.
=useless passive=
Warwick
you wont gonna out heal him. wait when he will be low hp and try to kill him while cain cc, Q, E. he can fly with you when he clicks Q at right time. get antyheal fast. steelcaps also needed when you struggling.
=useless passive=
Yasuo
pretty easy. squishy, no healing. if he pushes and your low, heal back. watch out for his W to not waste ur Q.
=usefull passive if he messes up=
=easy dives=
Yone
those nerfs killed yone. his e is no longer scary, you can easily heal back and poke him hard. squishy, no movement. just watch out with his ult when your half hp, cuz he might kill you that way
=usefull passive if he messes up=
=easy dives=
Yorick
skill matchup. dodge his e well, if not, just fall back and heal back from his minions. dont waste E on him until your sure u kill him, you need it to escape from the cage if he will catch you. try to kill his ult if its up, its really deadly. in early try to poke him as much as you can
=usefull passive=
quick info if you didnt saw notes. consider steelcaps in some situations and ALWAYS buy dark seal ^^
WHY ZAC?
1.one of the best survivability champions
2.awesome tank/ap with cc, very helpful in team

4.VERY RARE, probably few people know how to lane against zac
5.He is SURELY ANNOYING. so easy to make enemy team mad
6.Easily 1 v 2 when feeded
7.fast comeback after you base
8.FUN!
