Yasuo	Very Hard	611	50%	-302	-296	Dodge his q's and make sure he doesn't get his second q's. You can win sustained fights using Conqueror but you must dodge Q's and work around his windwall. Don't be rash with your dagger placements because you know he's going to E aroudn your minion wave. Its a difficult matchup but you have the tools to outplay Yasuo.

Viktor	Very Hard	581	49%	+119	+439	He has E poke, q shield, W stun. The goal here is to avoid the W stun, you need to set up q's and jump in proc electrocute jump out and use doran's shield to sustain the poke. Do not Eat too many viktor's E. Post 6, do not ult before Viktor ults because he can easily cancel yours. Short burst trade lane

Akali	Very Hard	550	46%	-347	-221	Hover Akali Q max range and make her miss it, also dodge Akali E by either setting up good daggers to dodge with and minimize damage taken. Hard to 1v1 her post 6, generally don't take that fight when its up. You can ult through her shroud but make sure her mobility is spent. Take short burst trades with her and electrocute

Zed	Very Hard	530	51%	-178	-448	Do your best to avoid Zed's WQ combo, dont distance yourself too far from him. You need be a bit closer so you have more angles to dodge from. If you're close enough, you can punish his W by using E directly onto him. It can be good to stand behind minions, dodge shurkiens, go for short electrocute trades, repeat. Post 6, he has a ton of all-in potential. once he ults you, get ready to make some high-level dodge manuevers

Galio	Easy	527	48%	+203	+1,017	Most of Galio's damage is connected, if he lands his taunt, he'll lands E into Q. Should you survive the inital burst, if you can jump back in on him, you can continute to fight because Galio is out of damage which is frontloaded in short trades. You win extended fights here with conqueror. Best case scenario Galio misses an ability

Sylas	Easy	474	47%	+135	+814	Tricky matchup due to Sylas sustain from W. You can win all-ins but you need to dodge the E2 from Sylas to win. Get rid of his mobility skills before going for all-in, test his ability to land his E. Do not go for short burst trades where Sylas can just sustain himself back up

Malzahar	Hard	452	52%	+353	+963	Malz has really strong poke, but you will win sustained fights by sticking onto him and autoing him down. Whenever Malzahar uses E to push the wave, you have a massive opening to all-in him.
