 Ahri | Favored | 823 | 51% | +440 | +207 | When you cast Q, ahri will try to charm you, make sure you strafe while you Q so you can dodge her charm. Also when you R forward its likely she'll look for charms. You can Q auto her alot, she doesn't have a good response to empowered autos | |

 Zed | Very Hard | 410 | 51% | -75 | -1,043 | Depends on Zed's skill level. When you R forward, bait out his ultimate and when he does you can bubble behind yourself to guarantee it. High elo Zed's will try to be cheeky by opening with W into R and instead of teleporting back to where the R was cast, they will W back from where the shadow was placed. Its easy to hit him instantly and you should be able to bubble him when he goes back. Do not try to match Zed in side lane | |
 Yasuo | Very Hard | 384 | 54% | +94 | -500 | Tricky matchup, R forward and bait the windwall, if they usewindwall you can aim your abilities aroudn the windwall aim it carefully. You can bubble yourself if he dashes onto you. You need to weave autos and be tricky with your bubble, you need to E Q cancel properly to not let him see your animation coming. | |
 Syndra | Very Hard | 341 | 53% | +154 | -643 | Extremely difficult matchup, don't walk in straight lines, do not R forward or Syndra will land E for free. Syndra can side lane but you can't | |
 Viktor | Very Hard | 334 | 49% | +356 | -277 | Depends on Viktor skill, for most viktors its easy. Viktor wins most trades and he can just spam E on you. When you R forward, he can E you into R and put his gravity field on your old location. If he has cleanse be careful for his turnaroudn when you bubble him. | |
 Malzahar | Very Hard | 310 | 50% | +196 | -329 | He outshoves you. Its hard to bubble him because of his passive shield, you will have to open with an auto into bubble. When he bubbles, he's able to create voidlines to tank your Q. When you R forward, its possible Malz may just Ult you for free. You have kill potential pre 6 but its usually a farm lane after | |
 Akali | Easy | 282 | 54% | +273 | -249 | Zoe wins this matchup but its tricky, R forward bait her E and look for sleep immidiently. If she's asleep you can still see her in shroud. Stay out of her Q range and hit her with your own q and autos, its easy to harass akali. Respect her Level 6 unless you have barrier | |
 Katarina | Not Favored | 281 | 47% | +57 | -1,045 | If she gets 1 or 2 skills early, its 1 sided and you've lost, but if you play safely and disciplined or take barrier, she can't really do much. Its pretty easy to poke her down since she's melee. If she all ins you, you use barrier and steal her ignite, you should not die solo to her | |
