Champion Portrait of Aatrox
Aatrox
Easy
13353%+34+550Aatrox should struggle to land Q's if you're playing at auto range, he will be forced to burn his E dash to gap close to land Q. Your E is amazing for dodging further Q's and Aatrox W out disengaging when hit but the best case is to dodge so he doesnt heal. You should be in complete control of the lane harassing him pre 6. Post 6 you have better all-in should you dodge his Q's.

Champion Portrait of Sion
Sion
Very Hard
12246%-281-574Tank Sion is another typical boring tank matchup. You can bully him early until his first back, and then he will just ignore your poke and shove the lane. Be careful of getting hit by his E, as he can then follow up with an easy Q. The matchup is completely different if he is AD; you can just one-shot him at level 6.

11550%+84-255You hard bully Mundo pre 6 but after that Mundo turns it into a farm lane. Q max with Phase Rush is advisable here for Mundo as well
Champion Portrait of Jax
Jax
Easy
10645%+581+538An easy, Kennen-favored matchup. You can bully him hard; just save your E for his Q dash. Look to constantly slow-push and harass him. When he uses his E, stay out of his Q range, and after it's down, you can continue to bully him. Be careful of all-inning him after level 6 unless he is very low, as his E reduces your AOE damage and his R gives him a lot of resistances.
Champion Portrait of Riven
Riven
Easy
9860%+303+39A nice skill matchup that is in your favor. You should always try to slow-push and harass her, as she has no sustain. This matchup is all about playing around her cooldowns. You want to have a stun ready when her Qs and E are up. If you bait out her cooldowns, you can play aggressively.
Champion Portrait of Darius
Darius
Easy
9067%+356+664Don't get frozen on. Watch out when he gets mercs, thats when he has enough tenacity and movement speed to engage if you are caught out. If you play it properly he can never engage onto you though. Throw qs and auto w and poke him out of lane.
Champion Portrait of Fiora
Fiora
Favored
8050%+230-321This is a favored matchup. You can effectively space her Q and punish her heavily if she misses. Play aggressively when she has a bad vital and try to bait her Q when she has a good one. The main thing to be careful of is her parrying your stun. If you have two passive stacks on her, you can auto-attack to bait her W, then apply the stun just as your passive is about to expire.
