Lee Sin matchup: Lee Counter is never really mentioned in guides but this is extremely hard matchup. He has lane sustain he has damage / can build lethality / can build bruiser / low cds / will go tabis - He wins early and wins late as well if you get hit by a q in lane you lose. People who play Qiyana in high elo sometimes will use Lee as a good strong Lane Counter with pressure. This matchup can be won if you hit everything and never get hit by lee q but in general he will always have prior.

Renekton matchup: Harder Matchup his items generally counter you and once he pops R he usually will win the all in. If fed he will stun and oneshot you. Can go edge of night - try to play for early lead if not then play for teamfights.

Malphite matchup: People will frequently pick malph as a counter to any assasin. If he goes tank you wont be able to do anything ( dont even try to build against it you wont do damage either way ) You can kill him early lvls 1-3 if he is really bad but even then he will go tank if you have a lead and outscale. If he goes full ap his armor scaling is still insane. You might be able to kill him more but its hard. Edge of Night insanely good item into this champ.

Poppy matchup: No matter what you build / how well you play this champ will always win against you. There is no world where this matchup is playable. Thankfully most people dont enjoy picking this champ so you dont have to deal with it much unless you are into an OTP.

Cassiopeia matchup: Can kill her lvl 1-6 you need to kill her because she will outscale you and base for ROA components and then will be too tanky to deal with. Do not get hit by Q or you lose lane.

Vladimir matchup: lvls 1-3 can be won. Dont find this champ fun to play into. If you fall behind he will dive you and snowball. Play around his puddle and enhanced abilities. Recently he leans towards hp stacking items ( not much you can do after 2 items ) play teamfights well.

Yone matchup: as of current patch in high elo I find yone hard. This matchup used to be insanely free but now they bring Exhaust as meta + bone plating and killing early got much harder. Once he hits first item depending on what build he goes you will lose sidelane pressure unless you are getting kills early. Play around exhaust and bone plating.

Nasus matchup: Matchup is free early he is a sitting NPC but once he gets lvl 6 it becomes hard. You can spam brush but most likely u need roam and kills he wins sidelane with R.

Ryze matchup: Kill him early because he will base for ROA components and become harder to kill. Dont let him scale.

Swain matchup: Same as Ryze do not let him get tank components. There are times people will rush frozen heart if you have ad jungle and it becomes unplayable. Need kills early.

Zac matchup: You can kill him lvl 2 pretty easily in lane. Step on his blobs dont let him get hp back. You will win lvl 2-3. If you dont kill its doomed he will get items and be tanky.

Ambessa matchup: Serpants fang is needed no matter if she goes lethality or bruiser you will not win without it.

Diana matchup: This is very awful matchup if the player can play diana even at an average level. You can win lvl 2-3 if she ints her w and does not hit any q but you will most likely need edge of night/maw. You can dodge her q with your w lvl 1. This is essential to learn. Tips : I am also a Chall Diana OTP so I can give a lot of tips in this matchup! If Diana goes Electrocute / Sorcery she will probably go scorch and absolute focus meaning if you get hit by 2qs early she can all in you lvl 2 with e. If Diana goes Electrocute / Resolve she will go shieldbash/boneplating making it really hard to trade in lane and this will be much more unplayable assuming she will go hourglass 2nd or 3rd. Diana Q is curved so you should W in the outer direction of the curve making it harder for her to hit. You can also W into diana when she Q for an auto attack and win the trade. Diana R can pull you out of your w so be aware of this. Do not try to flash after diana hits her q e because she gets another reset and will kill you anyways. If Diana doesn't reset her E its on a 22 second cooldown early. If she messes this up she has NO MOBILITY for 22 seconds and no all in potential. Diana E can be flashed and it will get put on cooldown. If Diana wastes her W on the wave you can all in her assuming bone plating is off cooldown !

Irelia matchup: This matchup somehow gets worse every patch. Irelia is unkillable after first back even if you coinflip early lead. She will go tabis and win every trade and eventually split with hullbreaker or other bruiser items. Nothing you can do but play with team.

Vex matchup: Hard matchup obviously she counters your dashes (go edge of night later) dodge skills early and waste her mana bar.

Viktor matchup: If you play against a Viktor OTP in chall you understand how unplayable this matchup really is. Viktor has strong lane into Qiyana. You will lose trades and he outscales you. Play with jungle or cheese him with ganks/vision

Kennen matchup: Lots of poke early and good all in potential. Dont get hit but flash r kinda hard later.

Yasuo matchup: Go Conq - Bait bone plating / exhaust - Care windwall for your R. In river fights his windwall is really disgusting. I usually ban this for that reason.

Mel matchup: This champ should be removed from the game.

Cho'Gath matchup: He can go tank build its pretty unplayable. Try to kill early or doomed.

Garen matchup: His lane sustain is too broken and your mana problems make this matchup hard. Dont bother poking him he will heal it all up. Hard matchup try to play for early lvls.

Akali matchup: this matchup became really difficult with the addition to gunblade again. do not trade lvl one no matter what you will not win. you can kill her in lane when her shadow is down. DO NOT LET HER GET 6 FIRST IN LANE AND RUN YOU DOWN. if she gets kills off your team its pretty doomed.

Akshan matchup: Skilled matchup play around his mobility. Do not walk up to farm in lane until you know where he is do not give him free lane. He will roam a lot-pink the river.

Aurora matchup: SO much damage in her 3 hit combo do not get hit by this or you will lose lane. Shes squishy so play around that.

Syndra matchup: If against an OTP its really hard matchup. Need to learn how to dodge her E or you wont win. Dont get hit by Qs early.

Zed matchup: Play around his flash and shadows. Be close to a wall to R him but good players will find a way to dodge. Play around his R cooldowns and Flash cooldowns and dont let him snowball.

Zoe matchup: Hug Turret and pray - Cleanse is good

Taliyah matchup: Care her e - She can go Roa build so play for early kills and pressure.

Pantheon matchup: Play around his cooldowns and dont let him all in you for free.

Orianna matchup: Dodge q - bait bone plating. Can be annoying if she goes ROA build.

Katarina matchup: You can kill her in lane if she has CONQ it can be harder. Space her daggers - short trades - if she roams punish mid.

Hwei matchup: Play around his fear. Do not let him snowball. Waste his mana bar

Ahri matchup: dont get charmed and dont walk up to her w electro poke and you will win early game. Use ice q post 6 .

Anivia matchup: Play around egg and stun. Conq is good

Sylas matchup: If they go electro sylas - ALL IN IS GOOD YOU WIN. poke him out a bit and pressure him. IF he has conq - short trades - go conq he will build health . If he misses e you can win care his w and ignite him. In teamfights do not let him get your R its very strong on him.

Ekko matchup: care lvl 1 cheese with his hail of blades. Dont get stunned and lose trade. Do not r him he can buffer your r with his r even if it hits so he needs to be cced close to a wall or with ICE Q

Fizz matchup: Can go maw lvl 6 so he cant all in you easily. Trade with ice q to lock him into cc.

Lux matchup: Dodge q and e and shes useless. Just get good basically.

Talon matchup: Skill matchup dont let him cheese you lvl 2 with high damage.

Naafiri matchup: Bait invulnerability before all in. Dodge poke or she will stack bleed and win.

Lissandra matchup: Care post 6 when she gets items like zhonyas. Edge of night is good. Care if you are going to r her you need to bait either her r or her zhonyas or else you will look like an idiot R-ing nothing

Neeko matchup: No one plays this anymore. it was generally a hard matchup but Neeko mid is dead so this is the placement.

Xerath matchup: Dodge stun and free.

Vel'Koz matchup: Can be hard but you need to kill early game and dodge his abilities dont let him stack passive.

Quinn matchup: Can be hard if Quinn is skilled but usually shes just trying to go electro and kill you and roam so play lane well and its ok.

Tristana matchup: bait bone plating + exhaust and just use grass q she cant do much. Make sure she doesnt buffer your R.

Locke matchup: start w lvl 1 and dodge all his q and care for his lvl 2 all in. You need to play around his cooldowns and wait for dash before you R him -- care his w will let him survive or movespeed out of a lot of your abilities

Annie matchup: no one plays mid but Annie Bot so i dont really think its strong just go edge of night and flash her q r combo

Azir matchup: Used to be kinda annoying but this champ is so bad rn so you can abuse him in lane.

Brand matchup: dont stand in wave when he q /w e and its fine. He might go tankier and it can be annoying but kill early.

Twisted Fate matchup: Kill him and make sure you have prior when hes 6 so if he Rs botlane he will miss waves.

Veigar matchup: Just dont get stunned and you win. If he goes ROA it can be annoying.

Galio matchup: GO CONQ its free. If he goes AP its harder matchup and you need to be more careful. Tank is free.

Heimerdinger matchup: Dont try to all in him with turrets up just wait for jgl ganks.

Malzahar matchup: All he does is really shove the lane. Play for lvl 3 and kill him. Go edge of night in teamfights.

Singed matchup: Singed is rlly free matchup. You can poke him out of lane easily and use ice q . If he goes tankier items it can be hard but dont let him get to those items.

Aurelion Sol matchup: Easy matchup. Your ICE Q cancels his fly ability. He has no sustain. You need to kill him before he gets tanky components though.

Zilean matchup: free matchup just kill him as many times as possible

Kassadin matchup: Just poke him out of lane and use your lane pressure to roam and help jungler. If he gets shutdowns it can be really bad so avoid giving him legit any gold.

Kayle matchup: Squishy / bad early / bad roam / no cc / After she gets 6 it can be hard if you dont bait her R but dont let her scale you are early game champ kill her.

Ziggs matchup: Literally all this champ does it sit under his turret and throw bombs on the wave so dont stand in the wave and you win
