Champion Portrait of Yasuo
Yasuo
Not Favored
89548%-180-411Against Yasuo, take Grasp with Bone Plating. If you are relatively even in lane, you are winning super hard. Play mainly for Q poke, as E poke probably isn't worth the mana early since his sustain is so high. Try to avoid isolated fights.
Champion Portrait of Syndra
Syndra
Not Favored
78050%-140-690Syndra is winning in a 1v1, but if you can dodge enough of her skillshots, it can be difficult for her. She also has very good gank setup, even early in the game, so you have to make sure to ward and play safely. Merc Treads can be good, but buying them too early can neutralize your own lane pressure.
Champion Portrait of Yone
Yone
Even
71351%-35-308Despite his sustain, you should be able to bully Yone in the early levels. If you play aggressively enough, you can probably force him into a bad base. Be very careful with your mana usage on E in the early levels and be aware of his strong gank setup. After level 6, keep the wave in the middle or on your side, otherwise you'll probably get run down.
Champion Portrait of Malzahar
Malzahar
Easy
70154%+227+678This is one of the easiest matchups you will have. You can win trades with Q at basically any point. It's very easy to spam E and poke him out of lane. Just make sure to kill his voidlings as soon as they spawn and try to push him off the wave whenever he uses his cooldowns.
Champion Portrait of Xerath
Xerath
Even
67244%-151-308This is mostly a skillshot check. He has long cooldowns, so try to be aggressive if they're down. Once he hits level 3, be careful walking towards him due to his E. At this point, you will probably only use Q for the shield and instead focus on E spam. If you can get a favorable first back, it should be easy.
Champion Portrait of Zed
Zed
Not Favored
66948%-388-1,123If unpunished early, Zed can definitely become an issue, but you should bully him really hard with Aery and Resolve. Focus on harassing him whenever he comes to CS, and when he throws out his W, make sure you play to dodge one shuriken so he can't proc Electrocute.
Champion Portrait of Orianna
Orianna
Easy
64751%+61+280You are slightly stronger in the 1v1. This matchup is mostly a skillshot check, but you should be able to win trades at level 1 with Q spam. You definitely outscale, so as long as the game isn't lost too early, you should be in a good position.
