Champion Portrait of Garen
Garen
Very Hard
19048%-182-1,321The only thing you need to watch out for is Garen getting on top of you and using his E while your own E is on cooldown. CSing early should be a breeze, and once you get Lost Chapter, your combos will chunk him significantly. Be careful of Garen players who take Ignite and try to nuke you with their R.
Champion Portrait of Aatrox
Aatrox
Very Hard
18854%-526-821You both don't have enough damage to outdo each other's sustain. In general Aatrox will win extended trades while you excel in short trades. Play to farm and scale up. Avoid his q2 and q3 sweetspots. E out whenever Aatrox uses chains on you.

Champion Portrait of Riven
Riven
Hard
16649%+33-798She can do whatever she wants at level 1. Wait for level 2 and use your E to disengage when she tries to dash on you. You can cancel her third Q during her flip with your E to avoid the knockup and damage. The lane is very easy unless she gets a kill.
Champion Portrait of Renekton
Renekton
Very Hard
16055%-176-532This is another early bully that can be survived through your Passive and W sustain. Use your E to disengage whenever he looks to trade. Once you get Lost Chapter, you can start looking to throw Qs and combos at him. His lethal range is very low, as he can regain a lot of health with his R and Q.
Champion Portrait of Ornn
Ornn
Even
15149%+4+297Your Passive and W sustain negates his Q at level 1. The best tip against Ornn is to dodge the last tick of his W so he can't apply brittle and get bonus damage. You can use your E to cancel his E so that he can't knock you up. You also have the option of using your E or R to CC him when he goes for his second R cast.
