Champion Portrait of Aatrox
Aatrox
Very Hard
44950%-267-769Do not push in this lane pre-6. Early on if you can dodge his Q's you can win trades but its not easy. For Q1, you need to fake walkup to the wave and be ready to side step, for Q2 you usually want to walk into Aatrox, for Q3 run away unpredictably especially if Aatrox dash is still up. When Aatrox uses W, just Q him and walk away
Champion Portrait of Mordekaiser
Mordekaiser
Very Hard
42250%-598-1,397He is AP, and his abilities are hard to dodge as Malphite, but your Q can make it much easier to do that. Watch his passive; he cannot shield and heal your damage all the time. Go for all-ins before he ults you so you can fully make use of your burst. Just relax; he is a lane bully, but you are made to win teamfights.
Champion Portrait of Jax
Jax
Hard
42151%-153-780A good Jax can make your early game hard. He can't do much against you if you use your Q and run away to get your passive back. Your E is very effective on him. Be careful of his all-ins, as his E will block your W, and this can hurt a lot. Put him down early and keep your foot on the gas.
Champion Portrait of Fiora
Fiora
Hard
40755%-30-932This is an interesting skill matchup. Purchasing an early Bramble Vest is key to denying her healing. Her true damage from vital procs can be lethal, so you must manage them by walking away to reset their position when they spawn unfavorably. She will try to parry your ultimate, so you may need to fake the cast to bait out her W. Be patient, and you will eventually out-muscle her.
Champion Portrait of DrMundo
DrMundo
Very Hard
40644%-495-1,876Dr. Mundo will typically play from a distance and use his Q to farm. Since you cannot win trades against him with Grasp, the optimal strategy is to take Comet and use your Q to poke him down. Later in the game, you can use your ultimate to break his passive, then pick up the canister it drops to deal bonus damage. Your primary objective is to survive the laning phase and outscale him.
Champion Portrait of Jayce
Jayce
Very Hard
39556%-141-1,008He does a ton of damage and can push you to the ground. But you are an armor tank, so just relax and chill. Get Warden's Mail and Plated Steelcaps and watch the tables turn. Stay in XP range; he will deny you last hits, but relax and don't call for your jungler too much.
Champion Portrait of Riven
Riven
Hard
39348%-50-1,117A classic skill matchup. I changed the runes to Grasp for this matchup and max W to trade with her. Usually, you straight outscale her. Buy Warden's Mail early and beat her with Grasp. Bait out her E with your Q so your W hits harder.
