| Matchup | Threat | Games | WR | Gold @ 15 | Gold Diff | Tips | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() Jax | Easy | 516 | 53% | +210 | +1183 | Start e to make sure he doesn't get early control of the wave. If he has his passive stacked up try not to fight him since he will hit very hard with his attack speed. When you get berserker greaves, try to hard trade on the duration of your e. When jax is 60-70% health you can look for an all-in. | |

His next attack strikes a vital area of his foe, dealing bonus damage and silencing them. ![]() W Courage Garen passively increases his Armor and Magic Resist by killing enemies. He may also activate this ability to give him a shield and tenacity for a brief moment followed by a lesser amount of damage reduction for a longer duration. 52.4% WR 490 Matches Summoner Spells![]() ![]() 56.2% WR 251 Matches Skill Order![]() Decisive Strike Garen gains a burst of Move Speed, breaking free of all slows affecting him.

![]() Aatrox | Favored | 335 | 48% | -243 | +728 | Play safe until you reach berserker's greaves. You don't have the damage to kill him without it so avoid trading and farm up. Post six, you want to use your q movement speed to avoid his q1 and take trades with your e duration. Use your w on his q2 or q3 and get out. Use your passive to heal back up and do it until he is 60-70% health. From there you can all-in if you flash a q2 or q3. | |
![]() Darius | Very Hard | 332 | 46% | -528 | -195 | Do not get frozen on. Take short trades against him using phase rush to get out. Use your passive to outsustain him. When he is 60-65% health you can look for an all-in. | |
![]() Camille | Hard | 322 | 45% | -135 | -192 | Stand away from walls and try to space her w. Try to engage and fight with her when she uses abilities on the wave. Your main window to kill her is from beserker greaves to first item. Use your w on her e stun or q2 damage. Try not to trade into her shield. | |
![]() Ambessa | Easy | 307 | 50% | +119 | +1057 | š¬ No tips yet ā Be the first to add a tip! | |
![]() Sett | Not Favored | 291 | 45% | -264 | +95 | Don't fight him Level 1, just stay in XP range and don't eat poke. Use your W to block Sett's E stun, spin once you're stunned, and Q him to walk out with phase rush. Only trade when you have phase rush up so you can dodge Sett's W. You only win short trades and you hard lose extended trades. In teamfights, hold your Q to prevent Sett from using W when he's low. | |
![]() Shen | Easy | 289 | 47% | +498 | +1897 | Use your w on his e taunt. Use your q to bait his w and use your e to damage when him when he uses it. Avoid getting hit by his empowered q damage and stand away from his sword. | |
![]() Riven | Easy | 276 | 46% | +7 | +558 | Use your e when she trades into you, and use your w when she stuns or you are taking the most damage and need the damage reduction. Play to trade on your beserker's greaves spike and take trades on your e duration from there. | |
