K'Sante matchup: You win 1-5 easily, play very aggro! (Can start W or E if hes to passive) Diving only possible if hes very low and wastes W [Path Maker] or [Flash] -> [Three Talon Strike] 3-> [Wind Becomes Lightning] -> [Ignite] instakills and he doesnt predict u with W You lose after he comes back with [Bramble Vest] or [Warden's Mail] & 6 unless you hardpoke him and get very favourable trades and have [Flash] for his [All Out] -Form W [Path Maker] Then you barely win again at [Black Cleaver] spike and lv.9 if you play well Then you lose again for a long time as he gets more Armor Then you win again at 3-5 Items? You should just respect him in the mentioned timers and scale or wait for jungle ganks but 1v1 he wins in the majority of the game [Hail of Blades] is kinda funny you hard stomp him 1-5 that way but after 6 gets ever worse ... (Still trying [Grasp of the Undying] [Liandry's Torment] ) Ksante

Renekton matchup: I personally hate this Matchup and it used to be my bann but but 1vsAll says its "manageable" To win you have to play super aggro from lv1-5 and look for kill/dive pre 6! After 6 you need to play near turret and very respectfully as his R makes him autowin any extended All-In You will outscale eventually (3-4 items) and imo also be more useful in skirmishes/teamfights but lv6 onwards and 1-2 items can be rough time Definitely quite hard Matchup if he plays [Ignite] to match yours and/or has [Bone Plating] [Unflinching] [Conqueror] with [Bone Plating] [Revitalize] makes you most durable and less likely to get oneshot after his 6 while [Jack Of All Trades] [Triple Tonic] with double [Adaptive] Shards gives you more dmg and you can rush [Plated Steelcaps] giving 5 [Jack Of All Trades] Stacks (preference) You can also go a [Hail of Blades] even more focused on destroying him pre 6, also with [Jack Of All Trades] [Triple Tonic] secondary rushing stuff like [Essence Reaver] so you can poke with 0 manaissues after completion and good dmgscaling Renekton Needed these fast so youre not oneshot only after first Item if needed at all Cleaver for best 1v1 needed!

Trundle matchup: Cover your top bush lv1 and ward 2nd bush! If he comes ping jngl and AA->W->AA for quick chunk Play repeated trades with Phaserush early and you should chunk him decently hard with [Scorch] , once hes low enough burst him with Ignite After 6 he becomes alot stronger you wanna just scale to Eclipse at which point you can oneshot him after 2-3 [Wind Becomes Lightning] pokes If you can only fall slightly behind i think its good because [Phase Rush] Crit Xin scales very well (Gameplay Video below) Trundle either tier 1 boots or ionians are best imo Focus on dmg items instead, ionians only for defensive summs haste after Eclipse

Volibear matchup: Try to hardtrade lv1 before he stacks his passive!! He can get prio but you must make him lose a lot of HP for it! You can E onto minions to dodge his E or even [Flash] if needed After his 6 play passive as he can extend trades very easy and dive u! You scale well into late with [Eclipse] Crit build and [Cash Back] , at 4 items you should easily win even the 1v1 (Gameplay Video below) Voli

Warwick matchup: Try to interact as little as possible stay full HP with [Doran's Ring] and just scale! You wanna play it similar to [Jax] Matchup using W to slow/space him to avoid extended trades Lv1 imo he isnt even that insanely strong its more about lv3 onwards and especially post 6 thats the problem [Warwick] can be 10% HP and you could be 90% and he could [Flash] [Barrier] [Primal Howl] on you and win that fight from lv3 onwards After 6 its EVEN WORSE! You can never beat this champ 1v1 any attempt to do so will result in you inting the entire game You can only lose if you actually try fighting him and [Xin Zhao] even if youll always lose the 1v1 is way better in mid-late teamfights than [Warwick] (still testing [Hail of Blades] [Essence Reaver] [Immortal Shieldbow] or [Press the Attack] [Dusk and Dawn] [Kraken Slayer] ) Warwick both are good WW does lots of magic dmg early and his E fear is very scary

Olaf matchup: [Olaf] is all about if your team has enough damage to kill him and isnt all melee champs or If your team is high CC and low-ish dmg, then chances are youll lose! I like to ask jngl to play for top if [Olaf] is behind its much easier to oneshot him for you & your team Either [Phase Rush] (Going [Eclipse] Crit) or [Conqueror] [Unflinching] (going [Black Cleaver] Bruiser) Lv1 always cover your lanebush and ward the middle with ward right away!! LET HIM PUSH LV1, DONT TOUCH THE WAVE! Tradeback with with AA-> [Wind Becomes Lightning] -> AA but then you need to run and wait for your [Wind Becomes Lightning] and [Phase Rush] to come back up) Once the wave is near to your turret and you get lv3-5 you usually win quite easy oneshotting him with [Ignite] Still after 6 and in lategame this champion becomes a MONSTER he is so strong with [Death's Dance] [Experimental Hexplate] and if he doesnt fall behind a good amount or your team has low-medium damage he will not die fast enough in teamfights [Seeker's Armguard] / [Zhonya's Hourglass] is also a funny try stalling out his ult and passive mark letting you ult him away after Olaf Setups

Darius matchup: You need to kill him before he gets 5 Stacks, this means you can only play whenever you have [Ignite] (and [Flash] ) Lv3-5 is [Xin Zhao] strongest point so try getting a kill there. My personal favourite Rush Item vs [Darius] is [Eclipse] because it gives the best cheapest high dmg spike but [Kraken Slayer] , [Black Cleaver] , [Titanic Hydra] , [Voltaic Cyclosword] can all work if you know your limits Between his 6 [Noxian Guillotine] and your first Item you need to play VERY careful this is his strongest timer! After First Item you can usually oneshot him before he can 5 Stack (poke with [Wind Becomes Lightning] from Range 1-2 times to be sure) Never start trades with [Audacious Charge] , wait for him to use E [Apprehend] and/or Q [Decimate] and only then jump on him (to dodge his [Decimate] outer Radius) Cover your lv.1 bush and ping jungle to hover at the start in case [Darius] comes to take control If [Darius] comes to zone AFTER waves connect you can skill Q lv1 and do AA->Q-Q-Q trade and reenter once Q comes back up I struggle most if [Darius] players Rush [Trinity Force] with Tank stuff like [Plated Steelcaps] [Warden's Mail] or go heavy earlygame runes like [Bone Plating] [Unflinching] [Health] i dont tend to struggle as much vs [Phase Rush] or [Stridebreaker] Rush In general [Xin Zhao] is also usually more valuable in skirmishes & teamfights as long as [Darius] doesnt get an easy reset [Hail of Blades] with either [Voltaic Cyclosword] Crit or [Essence Reaver] [Immortal Shieldbow] can also work very well! It is usually worse after 6 and its harder to stand your ground if he becomes tanky and [Conqueror] scaling value is more consistant Darius Im testing if Boneplating Revitalize is needed if Darius does perfect lv1 cheese but so far nobody has punished this yet

Wukong matchup: Treat him like other lv1 powerhouses cover bush lv1 ward and shorttrade [Bone Plating] [Revitalize] [Ignite] is needed so he cant zone you You should beat him lv 3-5! At 6 Wukong turbospikes suddenly oneshotting you even if you are ahead, respect his R poke with W [Wind Becomes Lightning] You could also try to bait him to engage on you with his Combo and R->W him away kiting him out With [Black Cleaver] [Death's Dance] were generally stronger in mid-late and more useful in teamfights/skirmishes Wukong

Irelia matchup: [Conqueror] [Flash] [Ignite] with [Bone Plating] [Revitalize] [Bramble Vest] Rush into [Black Cleaver] or [Exhaust] with [Cash Back] [Triple Tonic] / [Jack Of All Trades] If you int alot early [Eclipse] into Crit instead could be good Lv1 walk into lane and instaward the 3rd bush then walk into riverbush and try to find her If she shows skill E and try to beat her up, YOU CAN NOT let her reach low hp melees or else she will QQQ->Q you for fullstack passive and beat you up If she tries to walk through you to reach minions she needs to lose at least half her HP in the process so you can beat her afterwards Once you secured position SLOWPUSH!! into 3rd wave crash into INSTA Cheater-Recall!!! In this matchup you can never contest her on the bounce UNLESS she is 60% hp or lower and you have ignite flash up You also wanna FREEZE ALOT!! Irelia struggles when youre close to turret because then you can bait her W and/or E and once those are on CD you can win easy!! This is her biggest counter use it and call ur jungler Sometimes you will need to push waves out on the bounce, here it is VERY important that you FLASH her E [Flawless Duet] if she contests you, this way you can win. If you get hit by E she will beat you even in a stacked wave! Irelia When inting or behind early

Riven matchup: Riven is kinda overtuned right now, when she eventually gets nerfed she will move to B (even) Play Confident in early levels! You beat her pre 6, she shouldnt get waveprio either dont get baited by Q delay! It will make her Q come back up very fast Could also go [Doran's Ring] and [Grasp of the Undying] with [Teleport] but then you need to play more passively early and good Rivens go proxy alot Earlygame Aggro Conq

Urgot matchup: Insta run Top lv1 and ward 2nd bush! If he enters AA->W [Exhaust] if he uses E and run him down! His E [Disdain] has 16 seconds cooldown so you can flash after and W a second time to kill! 2 Ways to play this lane: 1. Either go [Jack Of All Trades] [Triple Tonic] [Doran's Blade] and look to kill him lv.3-5 by sidestepping his E and snowball off that or 2. Go [Doran's Ring] [Overgrowth] with either [Lethal Tempo] [Titanic Hydra] -> Crit or [Conqueror] [Black Cleaver] -> Bruiser and avoid jumping onto him with E entirely and try to outsustain and outpoke with W youre usually more useful in midgame teamfights so going even is fine! [Quicksilver Sash] and [Mercurial Scimitar] both do work on his Ult and might be worth considering if youre snowballing hard and it has other value that game Urgot better at 1 Item worse scaling Exhaust whenever he uses E inward

Sett matchup: Lv1 run top into first lane bush and isntantly ward the 2nd. If he comes ping jungle and AA->W->AA Let yourself get pushed in, farm safely and dont int until [Warden's Mail] and then you can start playing the game & actually winning [Warden's Mail] + [Black Cleaver] Rush is best imo, similar to [Jax] Matchup playing mainly with shorttrades and [Wind Becomes Lightning] Going even is usually good for you Sett These are only for the Cleaver Rush build

Tryndamere matchup: [Tryndamere] Players usually play either [Hail of Blades] [Flash] [Ignite] [Profane Hydra] or [Lethal Tempo] [Flash] [Ghost] [Ravenous Hydra] finding a Setup that works against both is key (you could swap between [Doran's Blade] & [Doran's Ring] ingame) Most reliable Setups ive found is just going [Conqueror] with [Doran's Blade] [Bone Plating] and [Exhaust] or [Grasp of the Undying] with [Doran's Ring] [Ignite] where you can rush [Warden's Mail] + [Titanic Hydra] Especially against [Hail of Blades] youre just gonna have to give up early prio eitherway and respect him trading back only as much as you need to ... Still occasionally [Tryndamere] is just gonna roll 80+% crits and then no setup will help you :/ Build Overview

Fiora matchup: Fiora is a very heavy skill matchup but if both sides play it pixelperfectly Xin barely wins imo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK3xn7iSO3E [Bone Plating] [Revitalize] [Doran's Blade] [Flash] [Ignite] is needed in case she goes [Press the Attack] [Ignite] , in which case you need to play the earlygame really well trying to avoid giving her the [Press the Attack] proc, if she overforces it you can go Q lv1 to win (extending the trade and using [Conqueror] value) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUlXNY8_2Mo&t=540s vs [Press the Attack] [Fiora] you really gotta watch your lv1-2 if you miss 1 W she will bully and kill you You can just hard respect and give her shove early and look to fight her only lv4-5 but youll have to drop some cs so idk if its that worth The biggest thing is playing around [Riposte] . There are multiple ways to go about it but the easiest is to just press S and wait for her to waste it and then Q3 her afterwards Still testing [Hail of Blades] [Electrocute] [Lethal Tempo] , all could be quite good Fiora

Aatrox matchup: Lv1 you can trade with [Audacious Charge] or [Wind Becomes Lightning] start after baiting 1 or 2 of his Qs lv2 you should respect him!! Dont jump in youll take a very bad trade! Lv3-5 specifically youre alot stronger than him. You should look for a kill here if possible! You could also let him get prio early so hes close to your turret lv3-4 but its risky if he has [Teleport] An early recall with [Boots] [Cloth Armor] or [Glowing Mote] gives 5 [Jack Of All Trades] and feels very nice! After 6 he becomes alot scarier but with [Ignite] [Elixir of Force] [Crescent Guard] [Executioner's Calling] you can kinda oneshot him once! If you dont have those stay close to your turret and poke him with [Wind Becomes Lightning] and smalltrades first! Many builds work honestly as long as you rush [Executioner's Calling] ! [Black Cleaver] is kinda broken rn on Xin so its probably best, [Death's Dance] Rush into [Titanic Hydra] [Mortal Reminder] [Immortal Shieldbow] is best for 1v9 lategame but takes time to scale ( [Death's Dance] is also good because it reduces [Aatrox] healing by alot), Otherwise [Eclipse] [Mortal Reminder] [The Collector] [Immortal Shieldbow] is also great if you need to oneshot targets or you inted early Aatrox POM so we can let him push early and still play out the bounce (where we try to kill him) Flexible after DD reduces Aatrox healing by alot! This build is best for 1v9 if youre far ahead, in lower elos, vs lots of AD or if youre vs lots of squishy high burst champs

Kled matchup: Let [Kled] push early and dont dismount him if possible until you have [Warden's Mail] and then you win every 1v1 quite easily With [Doran's Ring] you can play for outsustaining him and dismount him multiple times each time taking away some of his mini [Kled] Health [Lethal Tempo] also feels quite good stacking it up on mounted [Kled] for more strength once he dismounts and for more healing off waves The problem is good Kled can pressure you early quite well and once you have [Warden's Mail] he should just proxy and/or roam while youre sitting on [Warden's Mail] Mail with no [Tiamat] :( [Titanic Hydra] Crit [Xin Zhao] outscales Kled quite well (still testing how greedy I can be vs good Kled players with secondaries [Conditioning] [Cash Back] [Cosmic Insight] [HealthScaling] ) Kled This item makes Kled tickle you

Jax matchup: Play confident early levels try trading evenly lv1-2 while letting him slowpush into you, sustain with [Doran's Ring] and look for a kill on the bounce If he uses E you can E to minion to dodge it but often its not even needed and you just beat him up after His 6 and [Trinity Force] are big spikes beware even if youre ahead he could run you down if you mess up If [Jax] takes [Lethal Tempo] [Ignite] it will make your life most difficult especially past 6, while [Grasp of the Undying] is less concerning [Black Cleaver] into [Frozen Heart] into flexible items The main thing against [Jax] but especially vs [Lethal Tempo] is using your W to create space between you and him so he doesnt run you down in extended fights Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nfsKuHnMUo&t=557s [Conqueror] with [Bone Plating] is also ok but ive found [Grasp of the Undying] more consistant Jax

Malphite matchup: You beat him pre 6 through shorttrades and sustain! He wins after he comes back with Armor (or even worse [Bramble Vest] ) but you can just chill, clear waves with [Tiamat] and chill/scale Usually best build will be [Titanic Hydra] [Black Cleaver] [Riftmaker] but if your really ahead and enemies have high prio oneshot targets like [Master Yi] [Viego] [Katarina] you can also go [Titanic Hydra] [Lord Dominik's Regards] [Infinity Edge] If ur team is full AD tho and has good targets for Malphite [Unstoppable Force] youll probably lose tho no matter what you build [Liandry's Torment] and/or [Grasp of the Undying] can also work well in this Matchup if you like that If you go [Liandry's Torment] either followup with bruiser items like [Black Cleaver] or go [ Flicker] to compensate for lack of haste Malph Titanic Bruiser Titanic Crit

Nasus matchup: Play very Aggro lv1-5 you need to punish him somewhat before lv6 or at least make him go down alot of CS! 2 Main Setups you can go: 1. [Conqueror] with [Black Cleaver] Rush (example game: https://youtu.be/mm4GhenyZCc?t=171 ) 2. [Phase Rush] [Eclipse] or [Voltaic Cyclosword] -> Crit depending on your early lead and Setup, after lv6 you usually gotta respect him hard especially when your [Phase Rush] or [Flash] [Ignite] are down! [Elixir of Force] gives a 1 time use for BIG burst but you rather save it for when you REALLY need it, if you can, and play smart instead! His [Fury of the Sands] + [Wither] costs 180mana so if he is only sitting at <220mana he isnt too scary! [Conqueror] is better if your teams champs struggle to deal with [Nasus] so you need to be the one standing your ground fighting back [Phase Rush] Crit is better for taking out other prio targets and if your team can deal with [Nasus] alone Nasus Tenacity shard if it has value that game, otherwise just scaling HP Tenacity shard if it has value that game, otherwise just scaling HP

Ornn matchup: You either just wanna farm HP off him with [Grasp of the Undying] and outheal him with [Doran's Ring] [Second Wind] or you can go [Conqueror] [Doran's Blade] [Unleashed Teleport] and just freescale, forcing kills on [Ornn] is kinda hard so you should just try outvaluing him in midgame Be careful not to feed enemy jungler you dont wanna take too many 1 for 1 getting them fed Ornn Dont go Mercs

Pantheon matchup: 2 Options: go [Hail of Blades] [Ignite] and fight him early levels or go [Conqueror] [Unleashed Teleport] and just outscale him around lv6-9 [Pantheon] is pretty overnerfed right now so this matchup might be A (hard) if he gets buffed again Panth No Last Stand because he has BIG execute With Conq you just need to survive earlygame and you outscale the 1v1 easy with Cleaver With HOB you wanna fight back and fuck him up early

Rek'Sai matchup: Her Lane is SUPER strong! I think [Doran's Ring] [Teleport] are needed mabye even [Grasp of the Undying] Tell your team to not play for top since she will always be able to escape and be back nearly instantly If she has Ignite she has quite good dives, even more so with her R [Void Rush] (still testing both [Black Cleaver] and [Titanic Hydra] Rush) Reksai

Sion matchup: You win the 1v1 (not by a large margin) at pretty much every stage of the game Sion in modern league NOT really a scaling champ anymore he is mostly a 1-2 Item lanebully that is quite useless in lateteamfights as he doesnt provide more than being a big meatball of HP This means going even = winning especially when using [Cash Back] [HealthScaling] , still you can get a lead in lane Sion strengths: Up to lv7-8 Sion pretty much instantly respawns upon dying! This means you need to be really careful about your tempo! You can pretty much never stay for plates and should minimize your loses if youre caught in a bad position. This is also why we go [Teleport] [Cosmic Insight] ! Early levels: Shorttrade with W, after lv3 jump on him after Q3 either back away or stay really close to his body to make it hard for him to [Decimating Smash] If Sion goes [Bramble Vest] [Plated Steelcaps] [Sunfire Aegis] there is a small window before you complete [Black Cleaver] where you dont win 1v1, respect that timer and win again after [Black Cleaver] completion Another totally viable Option is going [Doran's Ring] with [Lethal Tempo] [Conditioning] [Overgrowth] [Titanic Hydra] [Lord Dominik's Regards] [Infinity Edge] and outscaling him that way, I do like this setup its probably a bit safer in lane but once Sion stacks some Armor youll start losing the 1v1 until you complete [Lord Dominik's Regards] . Also if the enemy goes AD Sion i like [Lethal Tempo] ALOT less... Scaling Conq Cleaver Can also go E start if he plays too passive

Akali matchup: You can either try fighting her to death with [Doran's Blade] [Ignite] or go save build with [Unleashed Teleport] [Doran's Ring] You can Rush [Maw of Malmortius] or go something like [Negatron Cloak] into [Titanic Hydra] You need to strongly play around her E if you get hit by it you often die and you need to respect her 6 where she gains huge burst and a reliable way to land E! Many Akalis also take [Electrocute] early which makes her early levels really strong if she can land Q->AA->Q Akali

Camille matchup: Stack [Grasp of the Undying] on wave lv1 [Audacious Charge] ->AA [Grasp of the Undying] ->walk away (as she gets passive shield) Trade whenever her passive is down (18sec cd early) You start hardwinning lv5-6 onwards as you stack Health and even easier at 9 and [Titanic Hydra] , She will outscale the 1v1 eventually (depending on how ahead you are) but you can be more usefull in teamfights with [Titanic Hydra] Crit or Bruisery [Black Cleaver] -> [Titanic Hydra] [Conqueror] [Cash Back] with [Triple Tonic] or [Cosmic Insight] [Unleashed Teleport] could potentially be better for scaling but then you lose 1v1 early Camille she struggles agains stacking HP early if good ganking jngl and yours is weak

Garen matchup: You should win early with superior Sustain and Damage unless Garen sidesteps all of your Ws Start trades without using [Audacious Charge] and then kill when he uses W (22sec base cd) after 6 you can oneshot him 100-0 if he ever has W down [Black Cleaver] holds big value because of his natural Armor from [Courage] [Death's Dance] [Sterak's Gage] make you immune to getting oneshot Garen Setup Cashback or Lethal Tempo Resolve can also be good For Titanic Rush Setup Flexible Items afterwards IE over Shieldbow, Randuins over DD can be good

Singed matchup: Cover jngl entrance or walk with Wave lv1 you cant let him proxy for free! Most Setups are easy to face, the hardest by far is if he has an earlygame focused [Conqueror] [Flash] [Ignite] Setup ... Hard respect his lv1 in that case! He will get prio while walking through the wave and if he sidesteps your [Wind Becomes Lightning] the earlygame will be very ROUGH! You need to go either full Oneshot with [Phase Rush] [Ignite] [Doran's Blade] [Eclipse] [The Collector] [Lord Dominik's Regards] [Immortal Shieldbow] or [Teleport] [Doran's Ring] [Titanic Hydra] [Mortal Reminder] [Immortal Shieldbow] Crit! [Black Cleaver] Rush Bruiser feels TERRIBLE to play vs him! Lv3-5 you should destroy him again but he is giving up alot of Utility not running [Ghost] [Phase Rush] Singed For Ignite Eclipse Crit (Could also try a variant with Dring Titanic Rush) For Dorans Ring Titanic Rush For Dring Titanic Rush

Heimerdinger matchup: You mostly wanna just neutralize the lane with [Doran's Ring] , [Determination] Sustain and not interact too much with him (you can tell your jngl this), occasionally throw a [Wind Becomes Lightning] and once you get towards lv7-9 your W Poke will start really chunking him hard and you will start winning the attrition war Your Ult [Crescent Guard] also kinda counters his kit knocking back his Turrets so only he can do damage His best bet is going something super aggresive earlygame so he can kill you or force you to [Unleashed Teleport] before you can buy [Tiamat] and then [Heimerdinger] should rush [Liandry's Torment] into [Zhonya's Hourglass] to counter your high HP and Engage. If he does that the the matchup is mostly even mabye slightly favoured for [Xin Zhao] The main thing you wanna play around is his E [CH-2 Electron Storm Grenade] if he hits that he guarantees his W [Hextech Micro-Rockets] and all his Turrets will Laser you twice! [Tenacity and Slow Resist] & [Mercury's Treads] & [Sterak's Gage] can help walk out of his stun before turret lasers come out HP Stacking [Titanic Hydra] Rush build is your best option to scale very well into mid-lategame Heimer Footwear can be nice for extra movespeed and free boots so you can focus on finishing Titanic You can take Tenacity shard if enemies have insane amount of CC & slows but the FlatHP helps to not die early before first recall

Dr. Mundo matchup: Yes you ACTUALLY need to go AP in this Matchup and its not bad! [Liandry's Torment] Rush with [Lethal Tempo] has felt by far best to me :D You can permablock his Cleavers to deny CS you outheal his damage while doing alot yourself Youre also high HP letting you avoid ganks easier Mundo Testing this with Ravenous->Cleaver->DD->EndlessHunger Steelcaps are very underrated against mundo because he does mostly Autoattack dmg later Lichbane/Guinsous can replace Zhonias LDR can replace Mortal Shieldbow/Serpants/GA/Mercurial can replace Flickerblades or be bought 5th

Varus matchup: Play semi-safe lv1-2 poke with W and oneshot him with [Ignite] lv3-5 Both [Hail of Blades] and [Conqueror] work similarly well with [Hail of Blades] being stronger 1-5 especially lv1 while Conq scales better if enemies dont have only squishies but can make up for lacking dmg when rushing [Quicksilver Sash] 1vsAll always Rushes [Quicksilver Sash] because it not only remove the stun but also the stacks [Chain of Corruption] would generate, if you dont do so then it becomes insanely annoying to play after lv6 Conq Aggro Mercurials: If youre winning hard enough late to cleanse R

Rumble matchup: No need to overforce anything if he has overheat prepped, is in a big wave or has [Bone Plating] up You can die early on lv 2-4 if you disrespect his passive and he gets good E into Overheat so be careful you do outscale him! Once you get [Hexdrinker] & [Maw of Malmortius] you just easily win! Up to date video by 1vsAll: https://youtu.be/tbG48G6K56k?t=250 (testing [Hail of Blades] [Doran's Blade] ) Conq Maw Rush Mercs ONLY if dangerous undodgable CC on enemy team If youre really hard stromping lane DD 2nd for better skirmishes/midgame!

Gragas matchup: This Matchup is kinda boring early as a good Gragas shouldnt die to you unless he disrespects hard. You should still build up a decent CS lead as Gragas will struggle to CS without dying It becomes really easy THE SECOND you get [Mercury's Treads] , as this makes it so he cant get aways from you anymore. Without [Mercury's Treads] he can just kite & space you!! Scaling Conq Cleaver If you wanna go Maw->Crit Legends:Haste is nice

Tahm Kench matchup: Tahm sorta sucks in 5v5 fights as long as you have any half decent teamcomp It will be very hard to kill a TahmKench if he has a brain so rushing [Titanic Hydra] and going for some kind of scaling Runes/Build is best imo If he has correct runes and build he will win the 1v1 but you can just avoid that all game as he isnt really a major splitpushing threat with his low waveclear, while you can oneshot the wave and leave Scaling Tempo Titanic

Mordekaiser matchup: You beat him quite easily pre 6 After 6 you need to respect a little but can still trade the following: Engage with Combo E->AA->Q->W->Q and walk away HOLDING Q3!! If he ults you Q3 him start walking away until Challenge mark falls off and R->W him creating distance Clip by senkiya for refference: https://youtu.be/OfBFmmnzEbU?t=446 In close 1v1s especially in ult you can [Flash] his isolated Q to MASSIVELY reduce his damage! Morde either Dring or POM is needed Cosmic or TrippleTonic is preference tbh either Dring or POM is needed for Mana Could also go E if he plays to safe and instasidestep Q

Cho'Gath matchup: Earlygame you should be able to get a sizeable lead via [Doran's Ring] outsustaining I have tried making builds with [Maw of Malmortius] work but Chogath just executes through the [Maw of Malmortius] shield [Eclipse] Rush has been most flexible and it gives much needed Max-HP dmg which Xin usually misses against Cho The problems start when chogath starts stacking Armor with [Bramble Vest] [Frozen Heart] [Sunfire Aegis] [Thornmail] etc Xin struggles to deal with HP or Armor stacking and with this build [Cho'Gath] has both So in those Situations i prefer to go [Eclipse] into Fullcrit which can beat him even at 3-4 Items Alternative is [Press the Attack] [Dusk and Dawn] into [Blade of The Ruined King] build Cho great for oneshotting other prio targets More 1v1 focused build

Gwen matchup: You need to play very Aggro 1-5 tell your jngl to path top and dive After 6 if she is full HP and has W up and you dont have [Ignite] you will just lose so either poke her first with W, bait her W or have [Ignite] and [Elixir of Force] for oneshot This crit build scales very well so no need to worry about getting majorly outscaled imo (testing [Phase Rush] ) Earlygame Aggro Conq Healcut if there is 1-2 other targets

Shen matchup: Fullscaling [Titanic Hydra] Crit Setup is most consistant [Doran's Blade] with [Bone Plating] [Black Cleaver] Rush might be best as you beat him at any stage 1v1 this way Scaling Conq Cleaver Cleaver Rush then flexible

Nocturne matchup: He is Insanely strong lv1-3 but you outscale him quickly especially lv5-6 onwards and even easier at lv9 and first Item He will look for proxy as soon as he gets [Tiamat] (his biggest spike!!) because it makes him oneshot waves! If you fight him inside of your minionwave when he hes [Tiamat] and his passive up, YOU WILL GET ONESHOT because his passive makes every minion splash the [Tiamat] AOE!! Wait for his passive to be down! Lv.1 wait for him to use Q and then shorttrade, especially risky is lv.2 where he will take W and block your W2 making him easily win any trade! Avoid trading here at all costs!! Nocturne Mercs are good vs his Fear TP because you outscale his 1v1 quite quickly (lv5-6 onwards)

Yasuo matchup: Let yourself get pushed in lv1 and tradeback with [Wind Becomes Lightning] whenever you can he should only be stronger lv1 because of his passive shield lv2-5 you should win decently easy He really needs to wait for 6, space you well and outplay you with his R to ever have a chance to win Either [Warden's Mail] or [Death's Dance] Rush makes him really sad tho and you scale quite well alongside him if you pressure him probably [Conqueror] [Bone Plating] [Revitalize] with [Exhaust] is best tho

Zac matchup: With [Doran's Ring] you win/outsustain early and with [Executioner's Calling] [Black Cleaver] [Maw of Malmortius] you dont really get outscaled in the 1v1 either You could also go [Lethal Tempo] [Titanic Hydra] Crit if you want its just personal preference (still testing [Hail of Blades] Full Aggro [Doran's Blade] ) Zac Setup is honestly preference if you wanna chill go Cosmic Cashback if you wanna force kills go JoaT TrippleTonic Mercs dont really do much vs him

Skarner matchup: One of the only Matchups you might wanna voluntarily give early prio to ... Otherwise he will be able to permahold the wave infront of his Turret and threaten [Flash] [Ixtal's Impact] kidnapping you under turret ... I do pref going something aggresive like [Doran's Blade] [Ignite] [Black Cleaver] so you can threaten dives and 1v2s A large part of his wincon (aparat from Kidnap under turret) is to Setup jngl ganks. Your HIGHEST PRIO should be NOT DYING TO JNGL!!! even if that means dropping CS or going even/behind in the 1v1 A combination of [Tenacity and Slow Resist] [Mercury's Treads] [Sterak's Gage] [Unflinching] if enemies stack LOTS of CC Scaling Conq Cleaver

Zaahen matchup: This matchup is very comfortable imo with either Setup ( [Conqueror] or [Phase Rush] ) Lv.1 AA->W outtrades his AA->Q just dont let him get the knockup Lv. 2-5 you win wuite hard and should look for a dive with Ignite (Prep Q and E->Q3->W->AA->Ignite for ~50% hp burst) After 6 the main thing you need to watch out for is Zaahens W his grab pull, if he lands that he can followup and gets enough stacks to run you down with R If he ever misses it (you should hardfocus on dodging it like an Illaoi E) you just win especially using [Elixir of Force] + [Ignite] [Executioner's Calling] or early [Plated Steelcaps] can be nice You can Rush either [Voltaic Cyclosword] , [Eclipse] or [Essence Reaver] into Fullcrit usually Earlygame If vs lots of squishies (nice and safe and nice scaling) or Phaserush has high value If youre vs other tankier targets aswell and dont need Phaserush When snowballing hard for best lategame carry

Gangplank matchup: Play VERY confidently around his barrels and contest them with [Audacious Charge] ->AA or AA-> [Three Talon Strike] (even if it means you die occasionally, if youre ever behind alot go [Eclipse] into FULLCRIT: [The Collector] [Lord Dominik's Regards] [Immortal Shieldbow] ) Start E [Audacious Charge] and dash onto him/minions and insta autoattack his barrels if you always do this he has no damage and from lv2 onwards you can just beat his ass. If you get 1-2 barrels early he shouldnt have enough damage to threaten you anymore even in later fights and aftert [Eclipse] you should always rather AA a barrel than him because he can start spacing you with that slow! Still unsure about THE definitive BEST Setup (balance between killthreat [Doran's Blade] [Ignite] , scaling [Cash Back] [Cosmic Insight] and safety [Revitalize] [Teleport] [Doran's Ring] ), all while GP can take a wide array of Setups himself like [Grasp of the Undying] [First Strike] [Fleet Footwork] [Arcane Comet] with [Ignite] or [Teleport] I do think tho the build should be quite heavily damage focused i dont like [Black Cleaver] into him alot unless he overstacks armor early Scaling Conq When inting or if you need to oneshot If you lose 2v2 topjngl or jngl wants to play for botside go TP instead

Ambessa matchup: [Doran's Ring] makes this early lane very easy and lets you pressure her hard constantly looking for dives After 6 and [Eclipse] she gets alot stronger but if you play well its still favourable There are many builds you can go here its honestly just preference you can rush any of these Items its just personal preference which one you like best: 1st Item Options vs Ambessa: [Black Cleaver] , [Serpent's Fang] , [Titanic Hydra] , [Dusk and Dawn] , [Death's Dance] Scaling Conq Runes also just personal preference I recommend Ignite so you can pressure dives pre 6

Jayce matchup: [Jayce] 's lv1 strength depends ALOT on his Runes! If he has [Electrocute] [Bone Plating] [Unflinching] hes gonna beat ur ass lv1 while if he doenst have [Bone Plating] or a keystrone like [Grasp of the Undying] then you can just E onto him from lv1 In general tho this Matchup does get way easier lv4-5 onwards so if you wanna just relax first few lvls take [Bone Plating] [Revitalize] yourself mabye even [Unleashed Teleport] then youll probably be alot more consistant overall! Lv3 onward you outtrade him with E->AA->Q->W combo and always oneshot if he is 60% hp or below with Flash->Q3->(R)W->Ignite->AA [Conqueror] [Black Cleaver] Rush into Bruiser for most consistant midgame is my recommendation but you can also go funky stuff like [Eclipse] , [Voltaic Cyclosword] , [Death's Dance] , first its just about preference and how hard ur winning (still testing [Hail of Blades] ? probably bad tho) Jayce

Kennen matchup: Hail of Blades Crit Potentially Tenacity Shard if early is easy enough (Still Testing) Maw if inting early Mercurial if vs lots of CC Usually this Matchup isnt really that easy but [Hail of Blades] makes it alot easier Good scaling too with strong money generation from [Treasure Hunter] [Cash Back] [Triple Tonic]

Teemo matchup: Play semisafe lv1 (playing heavily with bushes and leveling W first) Outtrade him with E->(AA->)W after lv2 and with E->AA->Q->W after lv3 Teemo should go [Press the Attack] with [Bone Plating] and [Flash] [Ignite] where you need to often proc boneplating first with W before comitting your whole combo [Maw of Malmortius] Rush is needed as he does too much dmg otherwise Get [Oracle Lens] and [Control Ward] to sweap his mushrooms You can Ult [Crescent Guard] Teemo out of the bush breaking his [Guerrilla Warfare] (passive stealth) Ult alone doesnt break his stealth if he stays in the bush (he need to be also slowed its kinda weird) Scaling Conq Secondary tree is just about personal preference/comfort in this matchup

Kayle matchup: You could win with other Setups but this is the safest especially when it comes to avoiding a camping enemy jungler. It also scales great specifically into Kayle. Some Kayles take [Exhaust] which makes this even better Dont int lv1 against the Kayle and you shouldnt be able to lose 1v1 after unless you turbogrief The only way you can lose lane is if you get stuck in lane with low mana (the only weakness of [Phase Rush] Runepage) (testing [Hail of Blades] & [Doran's Ring] Start, with [Phase Rush] ) Phaserush Crit Testing Dorans Ring just for mana sustain Kayle probably cant really fight back eitherway If youre not far ahead or behind If youre far ahead early

Cassiopeia matchup: If she starts E she can actually fight back lv1 and it hurts, can just play semisafe lv1-2 and play aggro lv3-5 Q3->Flash->W->Ignite leads to kills so often and E->AA->Q->W Scaling Conq

Udyr matchup: Scaling Conq Cleaver Unflinching is really broken and you outscale him anyways so might aswell make earlygame easier You can try to fight him to death lv.1 (With Ignite) and stand your Ground but Udyr should just win there ... Ignite not needed to win lane after lv4-5 Udyr is very strong lv1-3 we start winning after lv4-5 and even more after first Item Just WHATEVER YOU DO DONT GO [Titanic Hydra] Rush he will shred the HP and you need some sort of Damage!

Maokai matchup: [Bramble Smash] makes it so you cant really play against like a [Sion] or other tanks, so you need [Doran's Ring] and go either [Lethal Tempo] or [Grasp of the Undying] rushing [Titanic Hydra] and just scaling well This also makes it easier to play around jungle which often like to camp Maokai Scaling Conq Cleaver Titanic Crit

Yorick matchup: Play Aggro pre 6 save your E for his cage At 6 he is stronger until like lv7-9 and first Item where Xin is still better imo Xin outscales the 1v1 with any build though cause [Crescent Guard] counters his Maiden [Black Cleaver] also possible if he stacks lots of Armor early (like [Warden's Mail] , [Bramble Vest] , [Plated Steelcaps] ) (Still testing [Hail of Blades] Crit Setups) Scaling Conq

Rengar matchup: Havent played this Matchup alot but Xin usually just wins especially if you go [Executioner's Calling] somewhat early Rengar

Sejuani matchup: As long as you go [Doran's Ring] youll be fine HP Stacking counters her especially as you get into lategame, as she does mostly Flat dmg from her W. Her Stun damage from [Permafrost] is negligible. Beware her W does full Physical damage making her near perfect 50/50 split physical/magic! She is kinda weak 1-5 gets strong lv6-9 & first item, then falls off quite hard in the 1v1 Scaling Conq Cleaver Important vs her Scaling HP stacking Bruiser build If you have targets that need to be oneshot

Poppy matchup: Poppy used to be at least a little tricky but nowadays she is SOO overnerfed for Top that you can just beat her up at pretty much any stage with any build/runes/sums In case she gets buffed again some older VODs when it wasnt so easy: https://youtu.be/77sH4DdqKcA?t=406 [Audacious Charge] onto minions close to her instead of on her directly so she cant predict with [Steadfast Presence] [Black Cleaver] is very important against her play semi safe before you complete it! Still need more testing for this Matchup mabye [Doran's Ring] is good im unsure Scaling Conq Cleaver Important vs her

Ryze matchup: Both [Hail of Blades] and [Conqueror] work well, [Eclipse] , [Maw of Malmortius] , [Titanic Hydra] , [Voltaic Cyclosword] are all equally viable option You just kinda beat him early hard enough he needs to go super tanky with [Frozen Heart] etc. at which point hes not so usefull in fights

Yone matchup: Dont overforce things lv1 thats the only time he ever beats you, start W and trade evenly, get prio if you can but ok if not After lv2-3 you start winning if you play it like hes a ranged champs meaning E->AA->Q->W If he has [Bone Plating] proc it with W or E then go for your combo after With [Jack Of All Trades] rushing [Plated Steelcaps] if youre struggling gives you 5 Stacks fast for a nice early spike I really like [Eclipse] vs Yone just because i feel like I need the dmg with a mixed Crit/Bruiser build I personally most like either [Black Cleaver] or [Immortal Shieldbow] 2nd then flexible after with either [Death's Dance] [Endless Hunger] for more durability or [Lord Dominik's Regards] [Mortal Reminder] [Serpent's Fang] [Guardian Angel] [Randuin's Omen] are also very good 5th or even earlier if higher value that game Yone

Quinn matchup: Tanky Grasp Titanic Rush You need to rush tiamat or she will perma roam unpunished If vs many slippery squishies Go this with Dblade, Conq

Anivia matchup: Xin is too mobile and just oneshots her anytime after lv3

Vladimir matchup: Both [Grasp of the Undying] [Doran's Ring] or [Conqueror] [Doran's Blade] work you should just beat his ass if you somehow int early you can get [Maw of Malmortius] and you cant lose 1v1 anymore no matter how bad you play

Swain matchup: [Swain] kinda does alot of dmg early so either [Doran's Ring] , [Teleport] or [Revitalize] [Second Wind] (or a combination of those) are needed to not get bullied early Many [Swain] players rush [Frozen Heart] so [Black Cleaver] Rush counters that afterwards [Maw of Malmortius] [Death's Dance] or [Sundered Sky] depending on enemy damage types finishing the build with [Guardian Angel] [Mercurial Scimitar] (testing [Hail of Blades] ) Swain Secondwind Revitalize with TP just makes you unable to int early and then you just outscale lv5-6 onwards anyway after first item or if ahead

Aurora matchup: Q3->Flash->W->Ignite leads to kills so often and E->AA->Q->W Scaling Conq If youre not hard winning early or are also vs AP jungle rush Maw

Vayne matchup: Xin just does too much damage for Vayne so this matchup is quite easy If she has ghost play around bushes she only has 1 ward and otherwise needs to walk melee rang HOB Oneshot

Gnar matchup: Quite easy ranged Matchup you outtrade him with E->AA->Q->W combo and always oneshot if he is 60% hp or below with Flash->Q3->W->Ignite->AA (Gameplay video below) I recommend DD Rush for best scaling but Eclipse, Cleaver all work well! Scaling DD Rush

Azir matchup: Q3->Flash->W->Ignite leads to kills so often and E->AA->Q->W Scaling Conq If youre not hard winning early or are also vs AP jungle rush Maw
