 Sylas  | Easy | 357 | 50% | +308 | +1020 | Take Conquerer in this matchup. This matchup is mainly about spacing. Try to position yourself or your shadow in a way you can trade on him without him being able to EE and trade back. Be careful of short trading sylas level one if he starts. Level 2 you should win an extended trade with him. From level 3 sylas is able to start trading back. Try to hold your ult until after he ults unless you know you have in him lethal range. You hard win until 2 items or when he gets zhonyas. The matchup gets a lot more playable for him since he can zhonyas your R. | |
 Ahri | Easy | 350 | 51% | +250 | +784 | As with all ranged matchups, don't let Ahri push all 3 of the first waves at once, play in and out of her range to reaggro minions so she can only crash 1 or 2 waves. Be extra careful not to be in Ahri auto range as she can easily proc electrocute with her W. (when she does this the wave will push towards you so good early). | |
 Yasuo | Hard | 315 | 52% | +64 | +110 | Level 1, Yasuo is extremely strong. Never push into him early. Yasuo can also use the minions against you to gap close and zone you similar to Irelia. | |

 Akali | Even | 253 | 43% | +27 | +277 | Take Ignite/Teleport for the Akali matchup. Level 1 if you don't see Akali in the lane, walk up and try to see where she is and abuse the fact that your Q outranges Akali's. DO NOT push early and let akali push in early. | |
