Champion Portrait of Viktor
Viktor
Very Hard
1,94152%-30-79Viktor is a formidable laner, but you are more effective in 2v2s and skirmishes. Your focus should be on avoiding his trades and simply clearing the wave. Try to position the lane to set up ganks for your jungler. As you level up, your waveclear will become sufficient to neutralize the lane entirely.

Champion Portrait of Sylas
Sylas
Easy
1,85552%+179+405The matchup against Sylas is defined by his E (Abduct). You can win trades with poke if you can either dodge the chain or cancel it with a well-timed Charm. If he lands it and gets on top of you, you will take significant damage. Be highly aware of his gank setup and be cautious of him using your own ultimate to chase you down after level 6.
Champion Portrait of Yasuo
Yasuo
Very Hard
1,84850%-197-511Yasuo is a strong laner but is also very susceptible to ganks. Avoid pushing the wave and try to keep it on your side of the lane. You should generally avoid direct 1v1 confrontations. Your strength in this matchup lies in your superior performance in teamfights.
Champion Portrait of Zed
Zed
Very Hard
1,49948%-500-1,307This matchup revolves around evading his WEQ combo. If you can consistently dodge it, the lane is manageable. When his shadow (W) is on cooldown, you have a window to be aggressive and trade back. After level 6, be prepared to use your ultimate immediately if he uses his on you to mitigate the damage.
Champion Portrait of Syndra
Syndra
Very Hard
1,43251%-121-706Syndra is a potent early-game lane bully, but she is also highly susceptible to ganks. Use the movement speed from your W to help dodge her skillshots. Rushing Mercury's Treads is a strong defensive option to help you survive her burst.
Champion Portrait of TwistedFate
TwistedFate
Easy
1,24751%-366-543Twisted Fate is a weak laner, and you can abuse his poor waveclear and trading ability. The keys to winning are to avoid dying to ganks and to maintain enough pressure after level 6 to prevent him from using his ultimate to roam for free.
Champion Portrait of Veigar
Veigar
Even
1,22650%+260-416Veigar is extremely weak early on and cannot stop you from pushing the wave, but he is also difficult to trade with directly. Your best strategy is to push him in and then roam around the map, especially after level 6, to create a lead for your team before he can scale into a late-game threat.
Champion Portrait of Akali
Akali
Easy
1,21751%+25-118You really need to build a large lead pre-6 and do not let her scale for free. Take Aery and put extreme pressure on Akali every time she last hits a minion with auto W. If you think Akali is about to Q you back, cancel your auto and move back, you cannot lane pre-6 if you bait out her Q's like this. When Akali shrouds back off but be agro when its on CD. When Akali uses E, remember you'll always be able to land your charm on her recast before she gets E2 off. Post 6, expect Akali to do R > E1 when she fights instantly so you'll want to R away and dodge the E.
