Champion Portrait of Ahri
Ahri
Easy
1,43249%+121+706You win the 1v1 against Ahri very decisively. However, her gank setup is excellent, so you must be extremely cautious of the enemy jungler, especially after level 6.

Champion Portrait of Viktor
Viktor
Favored
78050%+140+690This matchup is favored for Viktor in the 1v1 and is primarily a skillshot check. However, Viktor is very gankable and you have much better skirmishing power, so 2v2s and 3v3s will normally go in your favor.
Champion Portrait of Yasuo
Yasuo
Not Favored
60853%-181+195Yasuo can be quite difficult, especially if the enemy team has a strong AP jungler. The most important thing is to be mana efficient; don't throw abilities unless you are sure they will hit. I recommend taking Phase Rush and Teleport.
Champion Portrait of Orianna
Orianna
Easy
58353%+174+974This used to be a skill matchup but is now slightly favored for Orianna if she puts three points in her W. Do your best to dodge her skillshots and rush tier-two boots. She is very gankable, so try to set up plays with your jungler.
Champion Portrait of Xerath
Xerath
Favored
51250%-5+272This is another skillshot check matchup. Make sure to rush tier-two boots and look to punish the fact that his cooldowns are much longer than yours.
Champion Portrait of Zed
Zed
Not Favored
47547%-374-633Zed can be abused at levels 1 and 2. After he hits level 3, focus on not getting hit by both shurikens from his WEQ combo. After level 6, be careful of his all-in potential. An early Cloth Armor is a good purchase. Make sure to use your ultimate either when he is stunned or after he has used his own ultimate so he cannot dodge the damage.
Champion Portrait of Fizz
Fizz
Very Hard
46539%-607-1,108Fizz has clear windows of power. Punish him heavily at levels 1 and 2, but respect his huge spikes at levels 3 and 6. Crash the first few waves, then let the wave push back to you. His E is his most important cooldown. Consider taking a defensive summoner spell or buying an early Null-Magic Mantle.
Champion Portrait of Yone
Yone
Easy
44753%+350+748Yone is a very good counter to Syndra due to his high sustain and ability to punish low-mobility champions. Take Phase Rush and Teleport, and always hold your E to disengage from his trades. You can deal with him in teamfights if he doesn't get fed.
