Mordekaiser
Easy
24251%+183+590Skill matchup favored Darius early. Freeze the wave on your side and look to all in. If he has ignite he has a fair amount of kill pressure on you if you are consistently taking q damage from him. If you are not good at spacing it then take DShield. Post Six he will win a all in if he starts with ult. Rush Mercs.
Champion Portrait of Jax
Jax
Even
23551%-38-64Skill matchup favored toward Jax. Respect his level one damage with counterstrike. Do not dry q him since he will just jump onto you. Use your pull when his counterstrike is going to go off so you both are stunned. All in when the wave is on your side. Rush Plated Steelcaps.
