Champion Portrait of Syndra
Syndra
Not Favored
91648%-135-667Syndra is winning in a 1v1, but if you can dodge enough of her skillshots, it can be difficult for her. She also has very good gank setup, even early in the game, so you have to make sure to ward and play safely. Merc Treads can be good, but buying them too early can neutralize your own lane pressure.

Champion Portrait of Ahri
Ahri
Easy
67249%+23+156This is a highly favorable 1v1 matchup for Viktor; you win trades at virtually every stage of the game and should force them often. The only real threat is her gank setup after level 6, so ensure you play around your vision and keep your Flash available.
Champion Portrait of Orianna
Orianna
Favored
60048%-29+1You are slightly stronger in the 1v1. This matchup is mostly a skillshot check, but you should be able to win trades at level 1 with Q spam. You definitely outscale, so as long as the game isn't lost too early, you should be in a good position.

Champion Portrait of Sylas
Sylas
Easy
45551%-226-16Sylas can be difficult because of his high sustain and gank setup. In the 1v1, you should win as long as you dodge his chain. For the most part, try to keep the wave on your side or in the middle to minimize how far he can run you down.
Champion Portrait of Akali
Akali
Easy
42848%-222-447Akali is difficult early on due to her heavy sustain. By taking the Grasp build, you can effectively outscale her in both teamfights and the sidelane. Focus on punishing her at levels 1-2, then maintain the wave on your side for safety. Avoid pushing past the halfway point post-6 to prevent her from running you down.
Champion Portrait of Katarina
Katarina
Easy
42346%-124-486Katarina is a fairly easy matchup. You should win direct trades at any point of the game. Be slightly cautious of her running you down the lane at levels 2 or 3. You can avoid this by simply positioning away from her daggers. Aery with Resolve or the Grasp build are both effective.
Champion Portrait of Yasuo
Yasuo
Not Favored
40454%-281-259Against Yasuo, take Grasp with Bone Plating. If you are relatively even in lane, you are winning super hard. Play mainly for Q poke, as E poke probably isn't worth the mana early since his sustain is so high. Try to avoid isolated fights.
