22255%+550+2018The most important rule is to never stand inside your minion wave. This forces Ahri to choose between hitting you or the wave with her spells. If she ever misses her Charm, she becomes extremely vulnerable, and you must capitalize on this window to punish her. All-in her any time her Q and W are on cooldown. You can also use your W to threaten roams, baiting her abilities onto the wave.

AkaliMIDDLE
Easy
16853%+273+662Try to space out her Qs. She should be playing to survive in this lane. You hard win early and pre-six unless you make a massive blunder in the lane. You want to avoid getting hit by her passive autos and her E as much as possible. Avoid trading in her shroud and be very careful of her all-in damage with her R.
Champion Portrait of Orianna
OriannaMIDDLE
Easy
16753%+496+1626Orianna can control the lane well if you let her. You need to force her to move her ball by faking an approach for a last hit, then backing away. Once her Q is on cooldown, you have a window to engage for short, favorable trades.
