| Matchup | Threat | Games | WR | Gold @ 15 | Gold Diff | Tips | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Renekton | Very Hard | 716 | 47% | -751 | -1,202 | Play around his Rage; it deletes your W shield. If he doesn't have empowered W, you should win trades. Lvl 1, out-space him with Q. Taking W second is good if he takes E, abuse that window. Otherwise, if he takes W to counter your W, space with Q. When he E's forward with half rage, IMMEDIATELY dash away with Q. He'll be forced to walk back with E on CD, or use rage to chase, which lets you safely W block and punish. Remember he can instantly gain rage with his R. | |
Skill Priority Q Cunning Sweep / Sundering Slam Ambessa sweeps her twin drakehounds in a semicircle in front of her, dealing bonus damage to enemies hit by the blades.

 Aatrox | Favored | 473 | 50% | -97 | +271 | W into his Q1, E around him to dodge Q2 sweet spot, and use Q dashes to avoid Q3. Your dashes give you an edge, but messing up means death. He can cancel your dashes easily, so W'ing him requires quick reactions or prediction. If he mispositions, E into Q then W. His E is the key cooldown to track. Weaker Aatrox players waste E forward and Q3 early. Stronger ones are tougher, holding Q3 for lower Q CD. | |
