Heimerdinger matchup: [Hail of Blades] Hail of Blades Difficulty: Impossible. Main job: survive. His turrets make normal trades very hard. Give up farm when taking it would cost too much health. Rare opening: after level 6, an overstep near your turret can give you Flash → E → R toward your turret → Q attacks → W. Watch out: do not force the usual early lane plan into his turret setup.

Kennen matchup: [Hail of Blades] Hail of Blades Difficulty: Impossible. Main job: survive. Give up some farm and pressure when needed. Do not force a trade just to prove you can win the lane. Mindset: dropping your ego and keeping experience is the right play here.

Vayne matchup: [Hail of Blades] Hail of Blades Difficulty: Impossible. Setup: [Doran's Bow] Doran's Bow. [Fleet Footwork] Fleet Footwork is a safer rune option if you want to focus on surviving. My preference: take Hail of Blades and look for aggressive openings. Watch out: a failed engage can cost the whole lane. Do not spend your health chasing when you cannot reach her.

Jayce matchup: Rune not confirmed Difficulty: Impossible. Opening: if he starts E, respect his ability to stop your engage and give priority when needed. Hammer form: when he jumps onto you with the lightning field active, be ready to W as he follows with E. Your shield can absorb the knockback damage while your punch is already casting. Mindset: this is a hard lane. Respect his openings and do not force every chance to walk up.

Akali matchup: [Hail of Blades] Hail of Blades Difficulty: Very hard. Setup: [Doran's Bow] Doran's Bow, usually W at level 1. Opening: let her spend energy on Q, then answer with W. Back off while W is down. Plan: aim for level 2 first. E into a short trade, then threaten a kill at level 3 if she is low. Watch out: check whether she takes shroud or E at level 2. Either can stop your next attack.

Gragas matchup: [Hail of Blades] Hail of Blades Difficulty: Very hard. Setup: Doran's Bow. Take Legend: Alacrity and Last Stand, with two adaptive force shards and the tenacity shard. Build: Long Sword → Mercury's Treads → Stridebreaker. The boots help you recover from his crowd control, and Stridebreaker helps you stay close once you reach him. Stand for the stun: keep an enemy minion on the other side of you from Gragas. Have your rune, E and W ready before looking for a trade. When he engages: use the opening to E stun → two attacks → Q → two attacks. Land your burst while he is in reach, then step back when the trade is done. Set up the kill: two clean trades can leave him low enough to finish. Keep your own health high enough to take that next fight. Do not chase blindly: if he leaves with Body Slam, wait for your next full trade. Your boots and Stridebreaker make later attempts to reach him much easier.

Malphite matchup: [Conqueror] Conqueror Difficulty: Very hard. Build: [Doran's Blade] Doran's Blade is fine. Buy [Tiamat] Tiamat early. Plan: test whether you can threaten a kill. If you cannot, push and look for a safe chance to farm the wave behind his turret or pressure his jungler. Watch out: check enemy positions before moving past his turret. Do not keep forcing low value trades into his armor.

Kled matchup: [Conqueror] Conqueror Difficulty: Very hard. Levels 1 to 6: focus on your waves instead of forcing fights. Kill window: save your key spells for when he dismounts. Then look for E → W true damage → R → attack → Q attacks before he can remount. Watch out: this needs the right timing and enough damage. If you cannot hold those tools, do not force the combo.

Yorick matchup: Rune not confirmed Difficulty: Very hard. Early lane: look for pressure before level 6. His build matters: armor makes direct fights much harder, while a normal damage build gives you more room to trade. Against the wall: if he walks away, break the wall with attacks and leave. If he stays to fight, look to R him out of the cage. Watch out: do not force the same fight into a heavy armor build that you would take into Trinity Force.

Jax matchup: [Grasp of the Undying] Grasp of the Undying Difficulty: Hard. Setup: Grasp, Shield Bash, Bone Plating and Overgrowth, with Alacrity and Last Stand. Take attack speed, adaptive force and flat health. Put three early points into W. Main rule: When Counter Strike is down, walk up and look to fight. Grasp gives you a strong trade each time it is ready. Level 1 | Answer his E: If he uses E and lands two attacks, let that damage build Grit. Time W to shield his committed damage and return your own. After Counter Strike ends, attack to use Shield Bash and Grasp. When both have E: Stand between Jax and an enemy minion. E stun him during Counter Strike, then walk out of its stun range. Trade after it ends. When his E is down: With E and W ready, walk up. If he fights back and gives you Grit, E stun → W → attack. This can take a large part of his health. After level 6: I am comfortable taking both short and extended trades with Grasp, including against Lethal Tempo. Keep tracking Counter Strike: its return changes the fight. Be aggressive while it is down, rather than punching into its dodge.

Teemo matchup: [Conqueror] Conqueror Difficulty: Hard. Setup: [Doran's Shield] Doran's Shield, [Legend: Haste] Legend: Haste instead of Alacrity, Second Wind, and the tenacity and slow resist shard instead of flat health. Why: the shard shortens his blind so you can start attacking again sooner. Plan: preserve enough health to fight when you catch him. Your main job is reaching him with your tools ready. Rune reminder: Teemo uses Conqueror. Garen uses Hail of Blades. Both use the Haste and tenacity adjustment.

Illaoi matchup: [Conqueror] Conqueror Difficulty: Hard. Rune choice: Conqueror is my preference for longer fights. Hail of Blades is acceptable. Main rule: dodge her E before committing. A missed E is your opening to fight; getting hit changes the trade.

Nasus matchup: [Hail of Blades] Hail of Blades Difficulty: Hard. Opening: pressure levels 1 to 3. After a three wave crash, hold the returning wave near your turret and punish him for walking up to stack. Watch out: the lane gets much harder as he stacks Q. Around 200 stacks is my warning point to reassess fights, not a promise that every fight is lost. Spell option: [Cleanse] Cleanse is something I would try against Wither. Treat it as an option to test, not a required setup.

Ornn matchup: [Hail of Blades] Hail of Blades Difficulty: Hard. Build: [Tiamat] Tiamat can help you push and look for a safe play behind his turret or against his jungler. Watch out: W makes direct trades difficult. After level 6, remember how far his ultimate reaches before you move into the enemy jungle.

Pantheon matchup: [Hail of Blades] Hail of Blades Difficulty: Hard. Trade: dodge Q, then look for E stun → two attacks → Q attacks. His short trade does not have to be free. Bone Plating: trigger it safely first, then wait for it to end. Spending your whole burst into it makes the lane much harder. Kill window: around half health, look for a full commit if you still have enough health and your tools are ready.

Rumble matchup: [Hail of Blades] Hail of Blades Difficulty: Hard. Spells: [Flash] Flash with [Ghost] Ghost or [Ignite] Ignite. Choose one of those as your second spell. Plan: contest experience and look for early trades when you can. Watch out: this lane stays hard even after a good trade. Do not judge the next fight only by who won the last one.

Aatrox matchup: [Conqueror] Conqueror Difficulty: Hard. Setup: Doran's Bow. Start W. Level 1: wait in the third brush from your turret. Walk up and fight if he contests you. If he backs off, stay close enough to collect experience while keeping him away from the wave. Read his Q: watch how he aims and uses his E dash. For example, walk back to invite Q with E toward you, then turn toward him as he commits. This can put you close enough to catch him. Return the damage: taking some damage builds Grit for W. Make that trade count by landing the middle of W. Do not take free damage while waiting for a perfect punch. Set up W: stun him with E first, or wait until he spends his E dash. Throwing W while he can still dodge gives him a clear chance to punish you. Build the lead: crash three waves, then recall or look for a dive if he is low and the jungler cannot stop you.

Kayle matchup: [Conqueror] Conqueror Difficulty: Hard. Plan: Win the first fight, then deny experience with a freeze near your turret. Setup: Conqueror, Doran’s Bow and two Health Potions. Take Flash + Ghost and start W. Use your potions during the fight. Level 1 | Third brush: Count from your turret and wait in the third lane brush. I play to win this fight even against Exhaust, Ignite, Ghost, Lethal Tempo or Press the Attack. Let her come into melee range. If she wards: Expect the ward and attack it immediately. Your attack speed lets you clear it without Q if you react fast enough. Then watch whether she backs away or stays to fight. If she fights: Use Ghost and keep punching. Let her damage build Grit, then land W as she commits or starts to leave. You do not need to predict her Flash with your own. Finish the chase: If W lands and she is low, Flash into attack range to finish. If she Flashes W and you still have around 40% health, follow with Flash and your next two punches when you can finish her. First reset: Push the first two waves into her turret, then recall. The bow helps you clear quickly. Make sure the wave reaches the turret before leaving. Freeze and deny XP: Return and hold the wave just outside your turret’s range. Stay close enough to collect experience while keeping her too far away to get hers. Fight when she steps up; if she stays back, keep the freeze. Catch her: Bait her spells, especially W’s movement speed. After she spends it, use Q to close the gap and E to catch her. Freeze or dive: After one or two trades leave her near 30% health, either keep the freeze and force a recall, or build a wave and look for a dive. Denying experience is the main goal. What success looks like: A strong freeze can put you at level 5 while she is still level 3. Keep farming and widening the level and top quest gap. Do not break the freeze just because she refuses to fight.

Sion matchup: [Conqueror] Conqueror Difficulty: Hard. Early lane: his Q makes trades awkward. Respect the charge and do not assume this is an easy lane. Later: the matchup feels better once you have [Black Cleaver] Black Cleaver and your core items.

Tahm Kench matchup: [Conqueror] Conqueror Difficulty: Hard. Setup: [Doran's Bow] Doran's Bow. Stay behind minions so they block his Q and deny its heal from hitting you. Plan: pressure him when you can avoid Q. If he tries to W away, use R to interrupt his escape. W timing: with high Grit or three passive stacks on you, watch for him to devour you. Cast W as he commits so your damage and shield are already in motion.

Udyr matchup: [Conqueror] Conqueror Difficulty: Hard. Build: [Boots of Swiftness] Boots of Swiftness into [Stridebreaker] Stridebreaker. Plan: look to fight when you can stay on him. Watch out: his empowered R slow makes chasing or leaving a fight difficult. The movement from your boots matters here.

Zac matchup: [Conqueror] Conqueror Difficulty: Hard. Setup: [Doran's Bow] Doran's Bow. Look to pressure level 1 and keep taking good trades. Early buy: [Executioner's Calling] Executioner's Calling to reduce his healing. Wave plan: avoid giving him a quiet lane under his turret where he can heal freely. Use your wave control to keep him under pressure.

Tryndamere matchup: [Conqueror] Conqueror Difficulty: Hard. Runes: Triumph, Legend: Alacrity and Last Stand. Take Shield Bash with Bone Plating. Shards: attack speed, adaptive force and flat health. Start: Doran's Bow and two Health Potions. Flash with Ignite. Level 1: look for an early fight. I favor Sett here against either Lethal Tempo or Hail of Blades. Lower his health so you can threaten a kill at level 2 if he keeps contesting the wave. If he backs off: build a three wave crash. Dive only if his health and the jungle situation allow it. Otherwise, recall and return with an item lead. Buy early: one or two Long Swords, then Plated Steelcaps. The armor boots help you survive his repeated attacks. Core build: Stridebreaker first → Death's Dance second → Sterak's Gage third. Survive his R: Death's Dance gives you more room to stay alive during his ultimate. Track when its protection ends. Use your R to carry him through part of that time and aim to land the damage after he can die again. Side lane goal: this survival focused route helps you keep contesting him instead of being run down. Sterak's Gage adds another layer of protection later.

Vladimir matchup: [Hail of Blades] Hail of Blades Difficulty: Hard. Setup: [Doran's Bow] Doran's Bow, [Flash] Flash + [Ghost] Ghost. Ignite is also fine if you trust your movement. Opening: pressure levels 1 to 3. Bait out his pool, then use its long early cooldown to look for another trade. Watch out: do not spend your whole combo into the pool.

Ambessa matchup: [Hail of Blades] Hail of Blades Difficulty: Skill matchup. Setup: [Doran's Blade] Doran's Blade is my usual start here. The bow is also an option. Plan: stand between her and an enemy minion. Stun her with E before she can Q and dash away, then two attacks → Q → two attacks. Watch out: no E means no committed trade. Her Q can return before your E does. If you cannot get the stun, wait.

Garen matchup: [Hail of Blades] Hail of Blades Difficulty: Sett favored. Setup: Hail of Blades, Legend: Alacrity and Last Stand. Take two adaptive force shards and the tenacity shard. Why this page: Hail of Blades is my most consistent choice. Doran’s Helm with Conqueror makes Garen harder to kill, so do not expect the same burst into every setup. Answer Q into E: His Q silences you, then his spin builds your Grit. The tenacity shard shortens the silence and gives you an earlier chance to respond. Return the damage: As soon as the silence ends, E stun → W through the middle. Position with an enemy on each side so E actually stuns. Your W shield and true damage punish the damage he just committed. Trade rhythm: Use your fast punches during the opening. Keep E and W ready for his reply instead of spending both before his Q and spin.

Gnar matchup: [Hail of Blades] Hail of Blades Difficulty: Skill matchup. Setup: [Flash] Flash + [Ghost] Ghost and [Doran's Bow] Doran's Bow. E is my usual opening choice; W is also fine. Opening: look to zone him from the first wave. Build a three wave crash and dive only if your health and level lead make it safe. Watch out: his jump can use a minion for a second bounce. Save your chase for a real opening. The lane gets much harder if you fall behind.

Quinn matchup: [Hail of Blades] Hail of Blades Difficulty: Skill matchup. Setup: [Doran's Bow] Doran's Bow, [Flash] Flash + [Ghost] Ghost. Plan: use your E carefully. A good Quinn can keep attacking and kiting without using her E, so missing your pull can leave you unable to reach her. Timing plays: R can interrupt her E. If she uses E and lands near the end of your W line, aim the middle at that landing spot. Watch out: do not assume she must use E just because you walk toward her.

Darius matchup: [Conqueror] Conqueror Difficulty: Skill matchup. Setup: [Doran's Blade] Doran's Blade or [Doran's Bow] Doran's Bow. Hail of Blades is also fine when you want shorter trades. First job: avoid the outer Q. Walk out of it or close into the inner part so he does not get the outer hit and heal. Save E: use it to set up a W hit in the middle. Do not spend it early just to pull him closer and then miss your main damage. Timing play: keep R in mind when he tries to stop your movement with E.

Camille matchup: [Conqueror] Conqueror Difficulty: Skill matchup. Setup: [Doran's Blade] Doran's Blade or [Doran's Bow] Doran's Bow. I like the bow when I can keep attacking. Trade: avoid the outer part of W, which gives her damage and healing. Move inside it or use E as she starts W. Punish: if she misses E while engaging, keep fighting. If it hits, catch her with your own E before she leaves. Stop her escape: use R as she hooks toward a wall. Dragging her away leaves her with fewer ways to end the fight.

Aurora matchup: [Hail of Blades] Hail of Blades Difficulty: Skill matchup. Setup: [Flash] Flash + [Ghost] Ghost, [Doran's Bow] Doran's Bow, and start W. [Doran's Shield] Doran's Shield is fine if you need a safer lane. Plan: look for early trades and bait her spells before committing. Catching her twice can create a kill window. R timing: look to grab and reposition her as she starts her ultimate. Force her to spend another escape instead of fighting inside her ideal setup.

Smolder matchup: [Hail of Blades] Hail of Blades Difficulty: not rated yet. The full lane plan is still to come.

Sylas matchup: [Hail of Blades] Hail of Blades Difficulty: not rated yet. The full lane plan is still to come.

Gwen matchup: [Conqueror] Conqueror Difficulty: Not rated yet. Opening: use your early strength to deny experience. After a good trade, build a three wave crash and look for a safe dive. Why Conqueror: she can keep fighting for a long time. After level 6, her ultimate makes a short Hail of Blades trade much harder to leave.

Mordekaiser matchup: [Conqueror] Conqueror Difficulty: Skill matchup. Opening: look for a level 1 fight. If he refuses, build your wave lead instead. Why Conqueror: he can keep fighting after your first combo, so the longer trade matters. R timing: as he raises his weapon to cast R, time your own R to use its displacement immunity during his cast. Pressing too early or too late loses the window.

Olaf matchup: [Conqueror] Conqueror Difficulty: Skill matchup. Setup: [Doran's Bow] Doran's Bow and usually W at level 1. Conqueror is better for the long fight; Hail of Blades is acceptable. Before level 6: look for fights and use W as he commits damage. When he chases, a backward Flash during W can help line up the middle. After level 6: bait out his ultimate, leave the fight, then look to reengage after it ends.

Poppy matchup: [Hail of Blades] Hail of Blades Difficulty: Skill matchup. Setup: [Doran's Bow] Doran's Bow. Plan: watch for her E onto a minion to dodge your E or W. Bait that movement before spending your main damage. Watch out: stay away from walls. Her wall stun can catch you from angles that are easy to misjudge.

Skarner matchup: [Conqueror] Conqueror Difficulty: not rated yet. The full lane plan is still to come.

Warwick matchup: [Conqueror] Conqueror Difficulty: Skill matchup. Level 1: take a controlled trade instead of forcing everything. Look for another opening at level 2 after that health trade. Main rule: bait his E and wait out its damage reduction before using your main damage. Then look to keep fighting.

Shen matchup: [Conqueror] Conqueror Difficulty: Skill matchup. Plan: Conqueror rewards the long fight. Shen wants a short trade and an exit. Setup: Doran’s Bow, Conqueror and Bone Plating. Start W. Level 1 | Catch his setup: Wait in the third brush from your turret. Shen may walk toward your side to position his spirit blade with Q, then retreat. Walk up and fight him as he does this. Use W as he leaves: If he fights and then backs away, answer with W. A good hit can take roughly 40% of his health and let you zone him from experience. Only force these trades when W is ready. His early damage is high. Crash and reset: If you get a kill, use the opening. If not, build a three wave crash and recall. Buy Long Sword and Refillable Potion if you can. If you can only afford the sword, bring a potion so you can hold the next wave safely. Freeze and extend: Hold the returning wave outside your turret. Trade when he walks up, then keep fighting if he cannot escape. I favor Sett in the extended Conqueror fight, especially once Sett has his level 6 combat ultimate. Read his escape: If he walks behind you during a fight, expect him to E through you toward safety. Prepare your E to catch him as the taunt ends. If he E’s into you: His escape is now spent. Keep him in range and extend the trade. Respect his W attack block rather than wasting your punches into it.

Urgot matchup: [Conqueror] Conqueror Difficulty: Skill matchup. Rune choice: Conqueror is my default. Hail of Blades is acceptable. Timing play: when he commits to the E flip, aim W behind you before the flip lands so the line can hit him after he moves you. Watch out: this is a timing play. Save W for the right moment instead of spending it before he commits.

Volibear matchup: [Conqueror] Conqueror Difficulty: Skill matchup. Setup: Doran's Bow. Take Second Wind with your usual Conqueror page. Start W. Level 1: walk toward him and watch for his raised hand as he casts E. Keep moving until the area appears, dodge it, then fight him. His shield alone is not a reason to give up the trade. Levels 1 and 2: avoiding his E damage is the main job. You are stronger at level 2, but landing your own combo is better than taking his E for free. Trade rule: do not force a fight without W. From level 2, have E ready to stun him and line up W after he commits his damage. Finish a low target: E stun → W → R can give you the burst to kill him before he uses R. Check his health first rather than spending everything into a target you cannot finish. First recall: buy Executioner's Calling. Reducing his healing makes longer fights much easier to manage. If he backs off: crash three waves and recall. Return with your purchase and punish him when he steps up. Why Conqueror: I prefer it for extended fights. Hail of Blades still works if you want short trades.

Wukong matchup: [Hail of Blades] Hail of Blades Difficulty: Skill matchup. Why: I prefer a short trade before he escapes. Conqueror is an option, but long fights after level 6 let him build his passive armor and Conqueror quickly. Opening: look for a short level 1 trade, not a full commit. Use the health lead to build a crash and threaten a safe dive.

Zaahen matchup: [Hail of Blades] Hail of Blades Difficulty: Not rated yet. Start W. Walk up and land two attacks. After his first Q, look for your next pair of punches. W timing: cast W just before his second Q knocks you up. Your punch should already be casting as the knockup lands, and your shield helps absorb the damage. Watch out: this trade depends on saving W for the second Q. Do not spend it too early.

Fiora matchup: [Hail of Blades] Hail of Blades or Conqueror Difficulty: Sett favored. Rune choice: Hail of Blades or Conqueror both work. Conqueror with Doran’s Bow lets you contest longer fights. Hail of Blades lets you keep taking fast trades. Level 1: Start W. With the bow and Conqueror, contest her aggressive opening with a short trade. W as she tries to leave, then play for level 2. Level 2 onward: I favor Sett from level 2 through level 6 and beyond when you play around her parry. Do not make your E timing predictable. She has to guess whether you will use it now or hold it. Bait her W: Many Fioras save Riposte for your W. If she uses it, that is your next opening: trade again while her parry is down. The early cooldown is long, so track when she spends it. E and W timing: With Grit stored, watch her response to E. If she parries, your W must land after Riposte’s protection ends. It does not deal true damage through an active parry. Conqueror plan: Take the early short trade, gain lane control, then extend fights when her W is unavailable. Hail of Blades plan: E stun → two attacks → Q → two attacks, then step back. Repeat when your tools return. The goal is to land your burst before she can answer or escape. Watch out: Be more careful against Barrier or Hail of Blades Fiora. Treat those as signs she is prepared for the lane. Bait the defensive spell before committing everything.

Renekton matchup: [Hail of Blades] Hail of Blades Difficulty: Sett favored. Setup: [Doran's Bow] Doran's Bow. Keep the rune, E and W ready. Trade: stand between him and an enemy minion. E stun → two attacks → Q → two attacks. Step back after your burst. If he fights back: answer the damage with W. If he gives up the trade, take the health lead and wait for your next opening.

Riven matchup: [Hail of Blades] Hail of Blades Difficulty: Sett favored. Setup: [Doran's Bow] Doran's Bow, start W. Level 1: let her Q attacks build your Grit. Cast W as her third Q comes in so you deal damage and shield the hit. If she uses Flash to dodge, leave while her Q is down. Next trades: E stun between minions → two attacks → Q attacks. Repeat when your tools are ready. Watch out: use E before she can buffer her W stun through it. Do not give her a free interrupt during your punches.

Singed matchup: [Hail of Blades] Hail of Blades Difficulty: Sett favored. Setup: [Doran's Bow] Doran's Bow, start W, and walk to lane with your minions. Opening: contest his attempt to farm behind your turret. If he stays in lane, trade with attacks and answer his damage with W. Level 2: use E to catch him, land your quick attacks, then W when he commits damage. Hail of Blades helps you deal damage before he flips you away.

Trundle matchup: [Conqueror] Conqueror Difficulty: Sett favored. Plan: look to fight through levels 1 to 6. After level 6, I still like the fight when both champions have their ultimates available. Watch out: fight near minions so you can set up an E stun into W. In open space, his pillar can move you out of position and make your true damage miss.

K'Sante matchup: [Hail of Blades] Hail of Blades Difficulty: Sett favored. Setup: [Doran's Bow] Doran's Bow. Plan: stand where E can stun, then E → two attacks → Q → two attacks. Use the quick damage to win the trade and keep the pressure up.

Irelia matchup: [Conqueror] Conqueror Difficulty: Sett favored. Why Conqueror: her W reduces your burst damage. A longer fight lets you get value after that protection ends. Plan: avoid spending your full damage into W. Keep fighting when you can punish its cooldown.

Rengar matchup: [Hail of Blades] Hail of Blades Difficulty: Sett favored. First buy: [Executioner's Calling] Executioner's Calling. His healing is the main problem before you have it. Plan: respect him before your healing reduction. Once you buy it, look to fight and keep pressure on him. Difficulty note: I rate this as Sett favored after the first buy, not before it.

Cho'Gath matchup: [Conqueror] Conqueror Difficulty: Sett favored. Runes: take Second Wind and the tenacity shard instead of flat health. Shortening his silence helps you cast W before he can finish you with R. Boots: Mercury's Treads are my choice for this lane. Early pressure: play aggressively at levels 1 to 5. Dodge his Q, then use the opening to trade. You can keep threatening him at level 6, but leave yourself time to use W before his R. Wave plan: crash three waves, then let the wave return. Freeze just outside your turret range so he must walk up to farm. If you get an early kill, crash the wave before setting up the same bounce. Why the freeze matters: do not leave him safely farming and healing under his turret. Keep the wave on your side so you can deny farm and punish him for stepping forward. Watch his build: heavy armor lowers your kill pressure. Do not expect the same damage you deal to a health or ability power build.

Dr Mundo matchup: [Hail of Blades] Hail of Blades Difficulty: Very easy. Opening: take the forward brush and pressure him away from the first three melee minions. Keep denying experience on the second wave without losing your own. Plan: build a three wave crash. If he is low and behind in levels, look for a safe dive. Ghost + Teleport gives him fewer ways to dodge your damage than Flash. Watch out: keep dodging cleavers. Taking repeated hits can ruin the health lead your plan needs.

Maokai matchup: Rune not confirmed Difficulty: Very easy. Detailed lane plan and rune choice are still to come.

Yasuo matchup: [Conqueror] Conqueror Difficulty: Very easy. Setup: [Doran's Bow] Doran's Bow. Opening: take a short level 1 trade. Do not assume every full health fight is won. Timing play: use R as he releases his tornado so your displacement immunity can carry you through the knockup. Exhaust: if he has it, avoid forcing the level 1 fight. Play for level 2 and check the next opening.

Yone matchup: [Conqueror] Conqueror Difficulty: Very easy. Setup: [Doran's Bow] Doran's Bow, [Flash] Flash + [Ignite] Ignite. Opening: pressure level 1 unless he has Exhaust. If he does, play for level 2 instead of forcing the first fight. Timing play: watch his ultimate windup and time your R to reposition during it. Do not wait until he has already caught you.
