Champion Portrait of Aatrox
Aatrox
Easy
9956%+52+383Aatrox should struggle to land Q's if you're playing at auto range, he will be forced to burn his E dash to gap close to land Q. Your E is amazing for dodging further Q's and Aatrox W out disengaging when hit but the best case is to dodge so he doesnt heal. You should be in complete control of the lane harassing him pre 6. Post 6 you have better all-in should you dodge his Q's.

Champion Portrait of Jax
Jax
Easy
9255%+550+767An easy, Kennen-favored matchup. You can bully him hard; just save your E for his Q dash. Look to constantly slow-push and harass him. When he uses his E, stay out of his Q range, and after it's down, you can continue to bully him. Be careful of all-inning him after level 6 unless he is very low, as his E reduces your AOE damage and his R gives him a lot of resistances.

Champion Portrait of DrMundo
DrMundo
Hard
7552%-81-675You hard bully Mundo pre 6 but after that Mundo turns it into a farm lane. Q max with Phase Rush is advisable here for Mundo as well
Champion Portrait of Sion
Sion
Very Hard
7540%-356-658Tank Sion is another typical boring tank matchup. You can bully him early until his first back, and then he will just ignore your poke and shove the lane. Be careful of getting hit by his E, as he can then follow up with an easy Q. The matchup is completely different if he is AD; you can just one-shot him at level 6.
Champion Portrait of Irelia
Irelia
Very Hard
7249%-635-1499Do not get frozen on. Irelia has the mobility to jump onto you through the wave so if the wave is in a bad position you are in a tough spot. Try to harass her when the wave is good and use your e to dodge her e. When the wave is bad farm with q.
Champion Portrait of Malphite
Malphite
Easy
6749%+51+756This matchup is tough. Malphite will shove the lane and throw Qs to chunk you. He is too tanky for you to poke down and still has kill threat on you. Use your E to dodge the comet proc when he Qs you. Try to get a gank before level 6, as it becomes very hard to gank him after he gets his ultimate.
Champion Portrait of Riven
Riven
Favored
6658%-174-494A nice skill matchup that is in your favor. You should always try to slow-push and harass her, as she has no sustain. This matchup is all about playing around her cooldowns. You want to have a stun ready when her Qs and E are up. If you bait out her cooldowns, you can play aggressively.
