Champion Portrait of Kayle
Kayle
Hard
21157%+131+130Kayle can only pressure you early game with Dblade and lethal tempo. Avoid early trades before you have stacks and items and you should be fine. Try to trade ults at six since yours has a much lower cooldown than hers. When you are going to fight her avoid taking poke damage beforehand and stay healthy. Moreover, avoid engaging when her lethal tempo stacks are up, but understand you will win an allin regardless even if they are up.

Champion Portrait of Garen
Garen
Very Hard
17848%-462-1,358This 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.
Champion Portrait of Aatrox
Aatrox
Very Hard
17245%-803-746Whole matchup is about dodging all of his abilities pre-6, you outscale Aatrox very quickly post 6 and post sheen
Champion Portrait of Riven
Riven
Very Hard
17145%-671-1,091This is no longer an easy matchup. She is very strong early and can kill you at level 1 with Ignite. Your only kill window is if she wastes both her Q and E. The lane becomes more manageable after you have Sheen and Ionian Boots, as you can take short trades and sustain. You can run her down after you complete Trinity Force.

16548%-265-9This is a very easy matchup. Take Lethal Tempo and focus on stacking as much as you can. Your first purchases should be Ionian Boots of Lucidity and Sheen to maximize your stacking potential.
Champion Portrait of Fiora
Fiora
Very Hard
16153%-523-1,023This is an extremely difficult matchup, often worth dodging in high ELO. If you play it, your goal is to stack until you have Sheen. Sidestepping her W is a lane-winning move. You must play around her vitals; try not to stand in the direction they spawn, and if she all-ins you, position yourself against a wall to block access to a vital.
Champion Portrait of Sion
Sion
Very Hard
15346%-895-1,308This 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.
