Champion Portrait of Akali
Akali
Not Favored
34949%-43+369Hover Akali Q max range and make her miss it, also dodge Akali E by either setting up good daggers to dodge with and minimize damage taken. Hard to 1v1 her post 6, generally don't take that fight when its up. You can ult through her shroud but make sure her mobility is spent. Take short burst trades with her and electrocute
Champion Portrait of Ahri
Ahri
Easy
34453%+401+1,311Play around avoiding Ahri Charm with your mobility, set up your Q's E in jump away and make sure you don't get hit by abilities. Electrocute is much stronger than Conqueror her post 6 because she will be harder to stick onto her
Champion Portrait of Sylas
Sylas
Easy
34355%+217+1,111Tricky matchup due to Sylas sustain from W. You can win all-ins but you need to dodge the E2 from Sylas to win. Get rid of his mobility skills before going for all-in, test his ability to land his E. Do not go for short burst trades where Sylas can just sustain himself back up
Champion Portrait of Yasuo
Yasuo
Very Hard
31548%-130-261Dodge his q's and make sure he doesn't get his second q's. You can win sustained fights using Conqueror but you must dodge Q's and work around his windwall. Don't be rash with your dagger placements because you know he's going to E aroudn your minion wave. Its a difficult matchup but you have the tools to outplay Yasuo. Windwall can mess with your ult/q so don't commit too hard until windwall is down, after berseker graves its much harder to dodge so respect him
Champion Portrait of Zed
Zed
Very Hard
30850%-130-254Do your best to avoid Zed's WQ combo, dont distance yourself too far from him. You need be a bit closer so you have more angles to dodge from. If you're close enough, you can punish his W by using E directly onto him. It can be good to stand behind minions, dodge shurkiens, go for short electrocute trades, repeat. Post 6, he has a ton of all-in potential. once he ults you, get ready to make some high-level dodge manuevers
Champion Portrait of Galio
Galio
Easy
29647%+305+1,252Most of Galio's damage is connected, if he lands his taunt, he'll lands E into Q. Should you survive the inital burst, if you can jump back in on him, you can continute to fight because Galio is out of damage which is frontloaded in short trades. You win extended fights here with conqueror. Best case scenario Galio misses an ability
Champion Portrait of Orianna
Orianna
Hard
27850%+203+803Expect a lot of harass in this lane, but you have openings to punish her early Qs being aroudn 4 second CD, if you predict it, jump in and fight her while the ball is still in motion away from her. Its possible to statcheck her with Conqueror with a good opening
