Champion Portrait of Garen
Garen
Very Hard
21253%-556-1,451This is a major counter at all stages of the game. Your only real window to fight is after level 7 with Lethal Tempo, if he uses his Q on you while you are near full health. A crucial tip is to use your ultimate *before* he silences you if you are in his lethal range, as you won't be able to cast it otherwise.

Very Hard
14251%-750-792Go Aery, scorch,biscuit delivery and start e. Farm minions and poke darius with every e you use. Try to use it when your manaflow band is up. Put three points into your e and then max q. Don't play for stacks in this lane. Play to poke him down and have lane and wave control. Do not get frozen on early game. Be careful of his level 1 cheese.

Sion
Very Hard
14047%-972-1,135This matchup has become harder. Take Grasp and rush Sheen. In the early levels, focus on stacking and using your Grasp procs. Let the wave push to you. You must avoid his E to prevent him from landing a fully charged Q. After level 7, do not let waves crash into your tower.
Champion Portrait of Mordekaiser
Mordekaiser
Very Hard
11858%-618-230Prioritize stacking in this stat-check matchup. As long as you can sidestep some of his abilities, you will be fine. A good tactic is to stand inside your minion wave to force him to use his abilities on the entire wave, which will cause it to push towards you. Your kill window opens around level 7 with Sheen, Ionian Boots, and 150+ stacks. You must try to end the game around 20 minutes, as he will outscale you.

Camille
Very Hard
11743%-356-1,216Stand in the middle of the lane level 1 and let the wave push even if you have to miss minions. Never stand near walls or else Camille will land hookshot. Post 6 you can just run her down if she uses hookshot. If she doesn't play for trinity force spike and you will only continue to outscale
