Easy
59458%+24+422Easy matchup. You can q when he q's so he can never get on you. Play safe until six and then you can run him down. Be careful of his flash ult combo since the slience will prevent you from ulting.

Champion Portrait of Ornn
Ornn
Easy
45350%-216+1,390Free scale lane. Don't get in his w range and don't stand near his pillar. If you stuggle in this matchup then go Fleet for the sustain. If you are around 60% health be careful of his triple brittle combo. Be careful of his all in at six since his ult comes off cooldown faster than yours. You win at first item and can start trading at six.
Champion Portrait of Singed
Singed
Easy
41554%-152+1,087Free matchup. He has kill pressure on you at six if the wave is on his side. Never get flipped into his turret. Do not leash for your jungler or you will get proxied. Do not chase him. You win always.

Easy
36449%-88+55Unplayable matchup. Dodge. You can only pressure him pre-six and if their jungle hovers him your game is over. Once he gets points into his w, you aren't a champion anymore. Take ignite, Dblade and fight early. If you don't kill him pre-six it is very rough. Go ad if you are ahead and go ap if you are even/behind. Go switness boots.

Aatrox
Very Hard
35351%-979-72Farm from a safe distance and space the q1 +e. Give up minions if you have to. After six you can trade on Aatrox when his dash is down.

Very Hard
32848%-994-1,689Skill matchup. Play safe and farm up you outscale him, but he still has the damage to kill you with barrels late game. Avoid getting in range of his q too often and NEVER get hit by his passive auto. You can win the barrel mindgame by auto reseting it with e, e'ing it from max range, or pretending to e and actuallying walking out so he pops the barrel early. He has a lot of kill pressure on you when he gets essence reaver in lane.

Jax
Very Hard
32846%-999-1,152Arguably an even harder matchup than Irelia. When he jumps on you, instant cast q and use fleet and w to get away from the stun. Post six you can chunk him after this but this is terrible to do pre six so just chill out and space his q. You win at level 11.
