Champion Portrait of Ahri
AhriMIDDLE
Favored
28952%-215+380Let Ahri push the wave level 1-2 and do not eat any poke, play safe. You can start trading level 3 and even more after Berserkers. Important to bait out Ahri charm since she is almost guaranteed to land it if you just blindly E + Q3 into her or recast your E to dodge it. Dont just waste your R on her if she can just R unless you want to trade ults so Ahri can't roam.

26053%-460+177Do not trade with him when he has his passive auto up. Use your e to dodge his q2 or q3 sweet spots or use it to get out of his w. Avoid fighting him when he is in his ult, since he might be able to outheal your damage.
Champion Portrait of Yasuo
YasuoMIDDLE
Hard
25346%-362-233Let Yasuo shove the lane early. Yone is better in extended trades and Yasuo is better in short trades which is why you want the wave on your side. Use E recast to dodge Yasuo Q3. Generally Yasuo is slightly stronger until first item and Yone outscales after

Champion Portrait of Syndra
SyndraMIDDLE
Very Hard
22245%-414-959Let Syndra push the wave level 1-2 and do not eat any poke playing safe, start trading at 3. The big thing to watch out for is Syndra's E stun. She is extremely vulnerable when its down. You can bait it out and respond by either using your E to dodge it or using R to engage on her at the same time. Syndra has massive kill threat on you around 60 percent hp.

20846%-800-850Your main window to trade is during level 1 and 2. Avoid trading into him when he has fury up. Exhaust is very viable in this lane.

AzirMIDDLE
Even
20455%-19+26Let Azir push the wave level 1-2 and do not eat any poke playing safe, start trading at 3. Azir has high mana costs so you want to bait out his E with your own E. Do not be afraid to give up CS early. Be cautious about Azir's R cheese into tower combo whenever you ult onto him.
