|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Ahri  | Easy | 513 | 49% | +93 | +579 | You win the 1v1 against Ahri very decisively. However, her gank setup is excellent, so you must be extremely cautious of the enemy jungler, especially after level 6. | |

 Orianna | Easy | 425 | 54% | +220 | +743 | This used to be a skill matchup but is now slightly favored for Orianna if she puts three points in her W. Do your best to dodge her skillshots and rush tier-two boots. She is very gankable, so try to set up plays with your jungler. | |
 Viktor | Easy | 397 | 53% | +256 | +879 | This matchup is favored for Viktor in the 1v1 and is primarily a skillshot check. However, Viktor is very gankable and you have much better skirmishing power, so 2v2s and 3v3s will normally go in your favor. | |
 Galio | Easy | 334 | 50% | +328 | +1513 | Galio is a weak laner, but he can set up ganks effectively. If you feel confident, you can take First Strike for extra gold. Otherwise, Phase Rush is a safer option to help you avoid ganks. | |
 Aurora | Easy | 332 | 54% | +18 | +668 | The 1v1 is favored for Syndra, but you have to be careful of her gank setup at level 6. Focus on building a lead in the early game by outranging and harassing her. Set up wards at level 6 and don't overextend. | |
 Hwei | Easy | 318 | 51% | +139 | +1009 | Hwei is a very strong laner, but you should be able to gain a slight lead and eventually outscale him. Position behind minions to block his QQ, but far enough away to react to his QE + EE combo. He is very gankable, so coordinate with your jungler. Rushing tier-two boots is beneficial. | |
 Sylas | Easy | 305 | 43% | -183 | +285 | The Sylas lane is all about dodging his E2. If you get hit by his chain, you will lose the trade, but if he misses, you can punish him heavily. Try to keep the wave on your side of the lane and hold onto your E to disengage from his trades. | |
 Yasuo | Not Favored | 273 | 47% | -114 | +331 | Yasuo can be quite difficult, especially if the enemy team has a strong AP jungler. The most important thing is to be mana efficient; don't throw abilities unless you are sure they will hit. I recommend taking Phase Rush and Teleport. | |
