Champion Portrait of DrMundo
DrMundo
Not Favored
17049%+94-591You 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 Riven
Riven
Easy
16757%+439+422A 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 Malphite
Malphite
Favored
15747%-4+310This matchup is tough. Malphite will shove the lane and throw Qs to chunk you. He is too tanky for you to poke down and still has kill threat on you. Use your E to dodge the comet proc when he Qs you. Try to get a gank before level 6, as it becomes very hard to gank him after he gets his ultimate.
Champion Portrait of Jax
Jax
Easy
15249%+616+517An 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 Urgot
Urgot
Hard
14453%-101-1,174He is heavily out-ranged by you during the lane phase. It is also very easy to hit Qs on him because of his big champion model. You can constantly bully and slow-push him in. The only way he gets to hit you is if you get hit by the slow on his Q or if he tries to Flash E you.
Champion Portrait of Sion
Sion
Not Favored
14149%+2-142Tank 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.
