Camille	Hard	473	47%	-37	-871	NEVER get hit by her outer W. You can always counter it with W - auto - E. Your playstyle is standard, short trades, spacing is KEY. Hit without being hit. W her W, kite her Q autos with E, and use Q for disengage and dodging her E. You can R to buffer through her E as she launches, or even better, use it at the anchor she's dashing towards on first E cast. Be careful with auto trades, try for one-sided trades: E auto Q out without letting her auto you once. Q Q poke is fine later. She ALWAYS wins all-ins or extended trades, AVOID them.

Riven	Hard	408	50%	-125	-628	Space her Q with your Q. You can play surprisingly aggressive with W. If she jumps on you, REACT with your W. Don't just rely on Q spacing. BEST case, W her when she jumps! ALWAYS have an escape ready. If your full combo doesn't kill, she'll kill you with lower CDs, so only all-in for the finish. Have your disengage combo ready. Avoid fighting Lvl 1 & 2; you can start winning at 3. You win by countering her engages, not by initiating. Respect her level up timers.

Jax	Favored	358	47%	+33	-147	Jax can quickly beat you if you misplay, even when ahead. You can play aggressively with Q poke, but ALWAYS have your W and E ready. If he jumps and uses Q, kite back with E. Similarly with his EQ, you can just E out. Stronger Jax players play around their spells better, so W his E, and E his Q. Basic trades and Q poke are fine. Remember your R is unstoppable; if he uses E and your R is off CD, R him to avoid stun and damage. You can also all-in when his E is on CD.
