Take short trades with your e when he has E with auto, w, E2, auto, q or walk out. Try to w harass him when he walks up for CS Try to trade on his long W cooldown earlygame When trading stay in your minion wave since his E will deal less dmg Look for an all in when he doesn't have W, and he's 70% health.

Aatrox
Hard
33849%-257+162You win extended trades level 1 very hard. After he uses his Q3 look to trade or zone him from cs. Try to hold your e until he uses his empowered auto. In order to dodge his qs, try to fake that you are walking away then move back into him to avoid the sweet spots. If he ends up using his e, then you can look to hard trade. Try to q out of his w before the pull goes off. Stand outside of his q1 range. If he tries to q1+e you then sidestep. You hard win at first item.

Renekton
Very Hard
27153%-258-256Avoid fighting in the wave so he doesn't heal as much from his q and so he cannot e out. Try to bait his q by walking in and out of range. Trade when its down. E when he jumps on you and save your q until he uses his e2. Respect his fury stacks and try to trade when they are down. Do not let him get fury for free. Try to save counterstrike for his w or when he has more than 50% fury in a fight. Rush steelcaps and sheen.

26648%+78+217When Sett burns abilities to shove the Wave(EQ), you have a window to just kill him. Constantly hover in and out of Sett's E range and bait it. If he's going to land his E, use counterstrike and trade on him with (auto w auto q out). Always use Q to dodge Sett W. Main issue with Sett is his absurd sustain but you can outplay his kit

Easy
26254%+235+953You hard win level 1 extended trades with counterstrike. Try to space out and dodge his q and e. Post 6 try to all-in when he is around 70% health and doesn't have his e or w up. Use your e early in trades so he cannot get his passive up. Focus on dodging the pull back when you jump on him.
Champion Portrait of KSante

Very Hard
26050%-399+96Sidestep his qs. You hard win extended fights level 1 as long as you dodge his q3. Look to w poke him when he steps up to the wave. Post six stack your ult passive and then w him for the extra damage. Rush sheen. Stand away from walls so he has a tough time ulting you. Look to all-in when you have space to run him down and he is around 60% health.
