Easy
26952%+1,371+2,784Don't be deceived by seeing Ornn classified as a tank. He has a very high damage output for a tank. Try to dodge his W or do not let him proc it since it does percent max health magic damage. Here is a trick that you can use to kill him by Dirty Mobs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8-7qW1e1cE

Champion Portrait of Jax
Jax
Easy
22755%+876+1,204Don't get cheesed at level 1; give up some minions if you have to, but try to get the experience. After level 3 onwards, you just wait till he jumps onto you and you pull his soul between 2 tentacles. You beat him until he has 3 or 4 items; after that, it becomes situational.
Champion Portrait of Garen
Garen
Easy
22445%+341-575Check if he has Conqueror or Phase Rush, since the matchup evolves around that. Pray he takes Conqueror, because if he has Phase Rush, it doesn't matter if you hit your E since he'll run out of the range in mach 10 speed. Early on, W spam him but make sure to space his Q since it does good damage early game. You can E him when he Qs you since it puts him into a melee animation. After level 6, he might try to all-in you, but you can R his Q since it can't be canceled.

21542%+35-301Morde is the usual Illaoi counter people go for; however, this matchup is rather easy when you understand how it works. The only people making the matchup hard are just because most League players are silver to emerald. If you go even, you can trade with him at level 1 with W. What makes Morde strong is his passive; make sure to not let him get 3 attacks off for his passive to activate. Try to stay with the wave since his Q deals significantly less damage if you are not isolated. The matchup becomes tricky after level 6 whenever he ults you since you lose all of your tentacles.

Renekton
Easy
20055%+736+1,586You counter him hard, so just wait till level 3. Make sure you don't lose your bone plating in this matchup since it will help you a lot. If he ever dashes onto you and tries to stun you, just wait till the last second when he is in the animation of his stun, then you can throw your E right behind him. He can kill you before level 6, so be careful of that, but after level 6, the matchup becomes very easy.

Aatrox
Easy
19751%+64+274Play safe early, walk up to Aatrox and bait his Q's with good movements, use these windows to farm. You spike at 6, to fight then you use E on him then use your W to dodge his Q1/Q2 and finally use your ultimate to dodge his Q3 and you'll win
