Sort of a threat. One shots aren't nice. Annie can ignore your W and just walk up to your face. Once she hits that Tibbers stun you are dead.
Cho'Gath
1v1s against him early in the game suck. You will counter his Q from afar but when you are trying to fight up close it is up to you to dodge the Q. Also his ult completely ignores you clutching on low health.
Camille
Camilles all about that close up engage. Just hope you are ahead enough when she ults you. you will beat her in a 1v1 later into the game cause of your passive and build.
Fiora
You and Fiora are one in the same. Anti tank healing monsters. Just hope you are better skilled.
Garen
His silence is literally so ****ing annoying. He will stick to you like glue. He is a tank and you can melt him later on, but beware of his win button which your W cannot counter.
Zed
Very slippery and has 1 shot potential. Play it right because missing all of your abilities will cause in death. No healing for you.
Xin Zhao
He's a duelist and a 1v1 king so he might destroy you early on in the game. Pretty big threat for a pre level 6/ nashors and riftmaker gwen.
Wukong
good wukong can crush you. Play out his ult because you cannot counter it with W. E comes into play against a Wukong for the dodge.
Warwick
Healing fest between you two mid to late game. However he is dangerous early game. He doesnt need items for healing and his E will win against your efforts.
Volibear
Kinda like warwick. His E is counterable with your W and E. Try your luck in a 1v1. Your Q does true damage so damage won't be an issue.
Zyra
Countered
Aatrox
completely countered
Ahri
completely countered
Akali
If she hits an E on you just press W. She cant recast. Shes just a good champ so shes a minor threat.
Alistar
I mean its a support. You will beat him in 1v1 unless he does the flash and hit you under tower strat early on. He will CC you alot but at the end of the day it doesn't matter cause you can just auto him to death. But beware, he's probably always with his team.
Amumu
You completely counter his Q but if he is upclose and fighting you his ult will hit you. however you are basically anti tank so amumus will die relatively fast with that true damage.
Anivia
Countered
Aphelios
who tf plays him.
Ashe
Ult and W countered. Easy kill
Aurelion Sol
Countered. His ult is countered by gwen W. His Q and W as well.
Azir
pretty sure his soldiers have no effect on you .
Blitzcrank
Countered
Brand
Its brand. Hes annoying. you counter his abilities, but that burn still hurts
Braum
countered
Caitlyn
If shes a kite god then shes dangerous. but ADC's really don't phase gwen.
Cassiopeia
countered
Corki
LMAO
Darius
**** this guy. Your W can counter his pull like on the edge. a fed darius will smack you.
Diana
Countered
Dr. Mundo
Really tanky, but you counter him. True damage and you block his cleavers with W.
Draven
like Cait. If he kites you you'll die, especially if he's ahead. But he's ADC and you have flash, blue smite, and E.
Ekko
He can travel back in time, but you counter his Q and W.
Elise
Countered
Evelynn
countered and weak.
Ezreal
Ezreals kind of hurt. They also have alot of mobility with E and flash. They might kite you out and it sucks chasing them.
Fiddlesticks
Ehh countered somewhat. ult is probably the only thing that can effect you.
Fizz
Fizz ult is the start to his combo of 1 shotting. Your W can counter his ult.
Galio
Honestly Galios are a pain in the but. You can kinda counter his taunt if he charges to the max and you are just outside. But hes so uplose and that taunt will hit you. You counter his Q
Gangplank
COUNTERED. NO Q OR BARRELS CAN TOUCH YOU! HAHAHAHHA HIS ULT IS COUNTERED TOO
Gnar
Depends on how good the gnar is. But you counter his rock throw and boomerang. Not too much of a threat.
Gragas
You counter everything but his E. If gragas comes up and close and is fed enough he can 1 shot you. However on an equal basis you will win.
Graves
Countered
Hecarim
Who made this champ? He'll run around for like 10 minutes but you'll kill him.
Heimerdinger
COUNTERED
Illaoi
Countered hella. She can't poke you and you do true damage and percent health damage so you can beat her. Just literally dash out of her ult.
Irelia
I really don't know who heals more. you counter irrelia ult unless shes inside your W range. As well as her E and W. But shes an upclose champ so it'll be a pretty skill based fight.
Ivern
Countered
Janna
Completely Countered
Jarvan IV
This matchups iffy. Just do well and farm for those essential items.
Jax
His stun can be countered but it's unlikely. If the Jax is doing well he will hit you like a truck. His E will block all of your auto attacks which you use to heal. Only thing is your Q and R.
Jayce
Mostly countered.
Jhin
You counter his W and Q and E and R. Just gap close and your good.
Jinx
countered
Kai'Sa
countered
Kalista
If you ignore her her autos will hurt. just kill her as fast as possible. Her passive juking is really annoying so try to hit your shots.
Karma
countered
Karthus
pretty sure you counter his R and W and Q.
Kassadin
countered
Katarina
Kinda like akali. Dashes literally everywhere but on equal skill terms you beat her.
Kayle
Just a great scaling champion, but you shred her early game and completely counter her Q
Kayn
GET THE **** OFF ME. He wil beat you early game because he can. you can counter his W but thats it. Just scale and you'll beat him. Against him its staying out of trouble and farming.
Kennen
Countered
Kha'Zix
Assasin. You counter his w but if hes good you will die. Just farm or try to catch him out and make sure you bully him all of early game. If hes behind he wont do any damage. You beat him early if you play it right and dont just stand like a bot.
Kindred
not really a problem. You both have dashes
Kled
You counter his pull. Not a big problem. Just play it right. Theres not much counter play from either side.
Kog'Maw
counter
LeBlanc
counter chain and q.
Lee Sin
counter Q which is a big deal for lee sin
Leona
Countered
Lillia
countered just might be hard to catch.
Lissandra
countered
Lucian
countered
Lulu
polymorph can still effect you if shes up close. However she is countered.
Lux
As a Lux main I can say Gwen is literally the biggest counter to lux. Gwen counters her Q, E, and R. Feel free to chase down that lux.
Malphite
You counter his Q but his ult will still slam you which is a big issue in team fights.
Malzahar
havent gone against one. You counter everything but maybe not his ult. So dive him under tower under your own discretion.
Maokai
countered
Master Yi
Very annoying. W makes him literally not die. His ult makes your ult useless. He will just Q and you won't have a chance to auto him for health. Just hope he doesnt get fed and that you do. Late game both full build he will murder you.
Miss Fortune
Who?
Mordekaiser
counter his E and makes it impossible to ult you when you are using W.
Morgana
Completely Countered
Nami
countered
Nasus
uhh don't let the game go for too long and try to gank him alot. prevent that CS. You counter his E.
Nautilus
you counter him
Neeko
countered
Nidalee
If she never hits that Q you will never lose.
Nocturne
His fear is an annoyancebut it can be broken with a E into W.
Nunu & Willump
make sure your W is in the right range. Just play it right and use your abilities to the best and its all good.
Olaf
You counter his Q so he can't chase you. Late game ish you beat him against a battle of healing.
Orianna
countered
Ornn
counter his ult and Q and his fire breath at the right range.
Pantheon
Counter his Q from a range but his kit is to be up close and personal. His E makes him take no damage so that can be an issue. However he doesn't have an edge. Its pretty even.
Poppy
If played right she can perma CC you with E into a wall to W knock into ult knock. If she doesnt do damage and you are in a 1v1 you can just take all that cc and then kill her. However she is very strong early game.
Pyke
You counter Q. You can counter E if he is far enough away. Ult is an execute so try to flash or E out of it.
Qiyana
pretty even match up.
Quinn
If you are scared she'll just kill you as you run. Man up and just all in her. You will beat her. You counter her blind
Rakan
He can actually knock you up and you can't block it with W. big threat in team fights, especially if he knows how to play rakan.
Rammus
In a 1v1 you are chillin. He'll probably taunt and stun you but you'll just auto and snip him till he dies especially with nashors and lich bane. However...in team fights if he targets you, it's all over.
Rek'Sai
who tf is this dude. Don't really know the matchup. Play it safe tho and just farm. you'll kill him.
Rell
your W might not block her knock up but you can just dash away.
Renekton
**** this guy. you don't really counter him, but you can try to outplay him. However those stuns are unforgiving and will probably get you killed. Bring ignite for this guy and just farm.
Rengar
His traps won't hit you but hes a pretty strong champ. His healing is nuts. Bring wards and play good.
Riven
Dodge and kite out her stuns. Riven and gwen are kind of even and similar even. You can block her R tho so if she goes for a finisher and you are on the run, just press W.
Rumble
countered
Ryze
hes a kite champ but you counter him
Samira
pfffft just chase her down and auto/snip her. Make sure you ult her when she doesnt have windwall. And simply E and W out of her ult.
Sejuani
Like nunu
Senna
you counter her W and R. Just run her down.
Seraphine
Like lux you counter her E and Q and R. Feel free to chase her down.
Sett
dont use E immediately. You can sort of use W to block his E. When he goes for his W just dash out of it.
Shaco
You counter E and I think his ult. You can't really counter his boxes if you dont know its there. Hes pretty slippery so try not to get outplayed.
Shen
pretty good counter. I played lots of shen and he can definitely be a bother to gwen in fights. He has a dash just like you which can taunt. He has a circular blocking ability just like you which blocks auto attacks. Try to bait out his E and just wait out his W. You can kill shen as you are anti tank.
Shyvana
you counter her E
Singed
You counter his W and his gas. His gas won't hurt you when you have W up and hes not inside of it.
Sion
Ur to mobile for his to really Q you. You counter his E.
Sivir
just gap close
Skarner
he can stun you because hes an up close champ. you dont counter his ult. Honestly in fights hes pretty strong. Keep a distance from him in fights and let someone else get pulled. You can kill him tho just play it right.
Sona
countered
Soraka
countered
Swain
countered
Sylas
You just counter his stun and its the most amazing thing ever. Its the biggest **** you to sylas players.
Syndra
countered
Tahm Kench
what.
Taliyah
countered
Talon
actually a pretty hard matchup. That ult is deadly. Just hope you can survive and sustain his combos. Once he uses those up you can definitely kill him. However he is very mobile so good luck catching him.
Taric
?
Teemo
You block his Q and maybe his shrooms if you walk into while having W active. But its teemo. Annoying. If his Q does hit you might be screwed.
Thresh
countered
Tristana
strong champ but you counter her R and E. Just kill her fast. Don't let her kite you out.
Trundle
TF? kill him
Tryndamere
That ult works wonders for him. If you dont have your healing items and aren't fed he'll shred you. how broken of an ability.
Twisted Fate
countered
Twitch
countered
Udyr
ehhh its even
Urgot
pretty sure you can block his ult.
Varus
countered. his E and R
Vayne
don't get kited
Veigar
countered
Vel'Koz
countered
Vi
Idk shes kinda not played and just not a meta jungle pick. Pretty sure you beat her by just damage.
Viego
You counter his stun. This matchup is pretty fun tbh. But your percent health damage as well as true damage is just too good for viego. As long as he doesnt get the stun you are good. YOur dash is also so nice against him.
Viktor
YOu counter all of his abilites
Vladimir
Countered
Xayah
She just gets **** on
Xerath
YOu counter all of his abilities
Yasuo
Honestly its pretty even but you counter his Q and im pretty sure you heal more than him eventually.
Yone
Your W counters his R and Q and W at a certain range. Not that hard of a matchup.
Yorick
Counter Q and you can dash out of his pit.
Yuumi
makes her more useless than she already is.
Zac
Zac is pure tanky boi. Watch out for his damage output tho cause it could surprise you especially with his new W buffs. But you should be able to melt him.
This is a build for Jungle Gwen and is purely for an AP build. It is purely in depth for the AP build. If you are looking for an AD or other build for Gwen, you can find them in other guides.
