Take cleanse and default runes, avoid charm and poke to win. be carefull for jungle pressence, she can snowball off that alone.
Akali
Skill matchup. You take defensive runes, abuse her early. if you play it right, even with fleet, second wind, dorans she cannot sustain your poke. do care after 6 this matchup becomes a lot harder.
Anivia
Take poke runes and you outscale her giga hard, your R cancels hers so be sure to use it even if defensive.
Akshan
Depending on the player this can be a free lane, or an absolute nightmare. take defensive runes but i take second wind usualy. You can take dorans ring, or dorans shield if you wana play very defensive. If you dont let him snowball you win, but then again your team can consist of monkeys.
Annie
Take cleanse, poke runes cause you dont want to get into her threat range. if you avoid that still care for her flash R, outside of that you **** on her.
Aurelion Sol
Take snowball runes, You outscale him untill the giga late game since he is an infinite scaler. You bully him in lane, you can cancel his W and Q with R which can make him useless. just dont get jungle diffed.
Azir
Take snowball or Poke runes. Experimental runes can be good too here. You win lane from level 2 onward, level 1 just trade with 1 Q nothing more, cause he can actualy dish out some damage, but lategame he has nothing on you.
Cassiopeia
Take Snowball/experimental/Default runes, whatever you prefer. You only need to care for her lv 2 since she usualy wants to go all out, burn all mana in an attempt to kill you. if you avoid it, you can bully her now the entire game, only care for her R.
Corki
take snowball or poke. THis champ is no threat ever, he is useless in the current meta.
Diana
Thank god you dont see her often. Take defensive runes, you can play agro untill level 5, from then onward the lane is hers till you get 3 items, you do outscale her but its very rough.
Ekko
Very rough matchup, take defensive runes and care for his E, if he wastes it, punish him for it, play around it cause its how he can win the matchup.
Fizz
I hate this champ, take defensive runes, take the level page for fizz/lb, play ULTRA agressive early till 6 then care for his R, build some MR and hopefully you survive till you can kill him.
Galio
he is pretty strong rn, but he still loses, take snowball or expirimental.
You can bully him early, care for jungle pressure since he has insane setup tho.
Hwei
After playing a lot of games into him im ready to judge it. It really depends on the player, if its a good hwei you cannot do much to influence the lane, he can play ultra safe without mana issues. take poke runes or snowball runes. you DO NOT outscale him, he is a lategame monster when his CD's are low. you have a much better midgame however.
Irelia
VERY ROUGH, take defensive or experimental runes. you will not win lane unless she sucks. you do hard outscale so just play safe and play with what you have to not let her snowball.
Jayce
Take poke or defensive runes. ITs a mixed matchup, early game is his, mid-late is yours but he doesnt really fall off that hard so he will allways be a threat.
Kassadin
Take snowball runes, he is still very rough he outscales you cause he will allways beat you 1v1 unless you snowball. which is why you take these runes. Bully him as hard as you can pre 6 cause after it will be pretty hard, build liandry since ludens doesnt do that mutch.
Katarina
Take defensive runes, bully her in lane, and cancel R with your R, not much else to this matchup.
LeBlanc
take defensive runes/experimental and the LB setup. I love taking Cpot since the sustain helps you. Build MR and to scale you win lategame.
Lissandra
Take poke runes and cleanse, just care for her R since it is an insane setup for jgl. for the rest free lane.
Malzahar
take default runes or snowball runes. Matchup is super easy, his passive should never be up. if you time it right you can cancel his R with your R instantly killing him pretty much at that point, you outscale too.
Neeko
Take poke or experimental runes, default works too just care for he E, if it hits through minions you get a ton of dmg and you are out of lane almost instantly. you outscale hard,
Orianna
The skill matchup, however ori is a bit stronger currently. Take default/snowball/experimental runes. You win levels 1-4 she wins 5-10 because of her higher dmg at that point. But you do win later in teamfights, unless ori hits a good shockwave.
Pantheon
Take defensive runes, and poke from distance, if he ever gets close hope you have boneplating to counter him.
Qiyana
Take defensive runes, bully her early cause she turns into a monster post 6 and once she gets a dirk. you do win in later game especialy once you have zhonyas,.
Ryze
Take snowball or experimental runes. You win this lane freely, and his runs is useless so you can pretty much outtrade with just E.
Sylas
He is very strong for a while, take defensive runes or snowball runes. He will go agressive level 1 so play passive if needed. even leveling E lv1 is fine. Just dont die to him cause if he snowballs this matchup turns from hard into impossible.
Syndra
The nerfs did their job she is fine now, take default or experimental runes. Poke her with E so her first strike is never up. be carefull cause scaling is even.
Taliyah
Take poke runes or default runes. You win early, as long as you dont get hit by her E-W you will never die either, late she is pretty underrated so care.
Talon
Take Defensive runes. THis guy just punishes the fact that viktor cant really leave lane early. He will rotate, if he gets kills you are ****ed, if he doesnt its a free win. you can try to kill him in lane, but get hit by his W2 and he will q and chunk half your HP, so mistakes are very punished here.
Tristana
This champ should not be viable mid. Take poke or default runes, experimental works too. She is not that bad level 1 but she will allways W level 2 ontop of you so play safe, if she doesnt snowball you win the poke battle.
Twisted Fate
take snowball or default runes. You outrange hard so abuse it but have wards cause 1 yellow card with the jungler and you are dead.
Veigar
Take snowball or poke runes, He is soo easy to abuse early, he will never reach his powerspike and kill you because you demolish him at every point of the game.
Vel'Koz
Its a poke champ so ofc its hard, Take poke runes or experimental runes. Just be carefull of geometry and his R, if he hits a full combo and ults he can 100-0 you, so barrier is a viable option here.
Vex
You win the poke battle, so take poke runes or snowball runes. care for her 6 all in cause it chunks you out. Build zhonyas cause it FULLY NULLIFIES HER ULT.
Vladimir
Take Default or Snowball runes. If he gets ahead its over. a good vlad will play safe till 6 then all in under turret with ignite. if he has no ignite, then nothing to fear. but build early oblivion or he will never get low.
Xerath
He outranges you hard, take poke runes or experimental and hope you can get a kill early cause later its harder when he hits 1 q to chunk you for 30% of you hp. you can win lategame but if he snowballs its over.
Yasuo
Take defensive runes, play safe from lv2-5 after that abuse him with your items. you outscale hard but he can still do dumb lethal tempo ****.
Yone
Much harder then his brother and my permaban. This champ is super broken currently, and iuf you still wana play it, take defensive runes, build zhonyas and pray you can do something in the teamfights, if he hits a good R tho your team is dead.
Ziggs
Take poke runes or experimental runes, abuse him early, later he can instaclear waves and its hard to get a kill on him, you do outscale though.
Zoe
Take snowball or default runes, You never see this champ, but abuse her when she uses her R cause you place W and R over the old spot and she just dies.
