He is your top counter. You can't do much if he lands his combo on you. You'll lose extended trades and he can sustain short trades, run if he ults, remember to destroy his wall instantly if it catches you. ALWAYS stay at ranged range.
Jayce
He can burst you down before you have the time to sustain, if you get your jungler to gank then you're golden, but do not 1v1 him if you don't have at least 3+ Items and Ninja Tabis, you'll lose if he knows the basics.
Pantheon
Annoying matchup, get vampiric scepter ASAP and don't let him land his combo on you, sustain through the lane and late game is yours.
Dr. Mundo
You dominate him in the laning phase, don't let him stick to you, poke constantly with AA + W, Q. Don't let him stick to you, if he tries to stun him and back off.
Galio
You outsustain any of his damage and his W protection is a bit useless since your AAs + W will be your primary damage ability. Pre6 he might have a bit of push advantage but still loses in short and extended trades, After 6 you dominate him.
Garen
Your kiting potential is what beats Garen, just like Gnar, his top counter, you can actually outsustain and outduel him with your BotrK and combo. E away if he tries to engage.
Gnar
You outdamage him in mini form and outsustain him in both forms, but don't fight him at close range if he's in Mega form. You have waaay lower CDs and can easily kill him with your combo + your jungler or if he has lower health.
Gragas
I miss Gragas top... Anyways, you destroy him in any part of the game.
Kled
You can pretty much outsustain him if he tries to fight you. He can't stand you constant poke.
Mordekaiser
Similar as Garen. Kite 'n Poke, be careful and don't underestimate his damage, don't ever let him get into melee range.
Nasus
Late game he'll destroy you, focus on poking with AA + W early to deny him farm. If you manage to get a kill or two with or without your jungler you can speed the game by helping other lanes or Team Fighting before he grows.
Nautilus
Long time no see, but if this guys comes up as a top laner he can't do absolutely nothing against you.
Olaf
You actually outsustain him and outdamage him IF in ranged range, if he lands his Q on you and chases, just E away, be extra careful and focus on dodging his Q if he Ults and engages you.
Poppy
She can't do anything against you in the early-mid game, but once she has 2/3+ tank items you don't do much against her. She can ult you away if you try to engage or start a Team Fight, a bit annoying late game.
Renekton
I always counterpick Renekton with AD Kennen, you can pretty much sustain his main combo and your kill pressure is higher after 6.
Ryze
He can hurt late game, but before that you can sustain pretty much anything he tries to do, don't engage if he has his root, bait it and then engage with E + R while keeping track of your stuns and you'll win.
Pre6 is yours and after 6 he may try to run away with his ult if you engage.
Trundle
Early is yours, but be extra careful with his powerful R, you must desingage if he all ins you.
Urgot
Don't ever let him get close to you and you win. Remember to poke every single time you can.
Volibear
You counter him pretty hard with your kit and BotrK, he'll never be able to catch you if you land your stuns properly, kite and destroy him.
Fiora
She outduels you and will try to engage if you try to poke. You'll need your jungler's help. If you can get her to low health think twice before engaging because she can sustain your damage with her ult, her chase potential is higher than your mobility.
Irelia
She can close the gap between you quickly and can hurt you a lot, she can sustain your damage if you don't constantly poke her, late game she will destroy you if she builds Armor and Mercury boots.
Riven
Before 6 she can mitigate your damage with her E, deny her as much farm as you can and after 6 desingage if she ults and engages you.
Jax
Since your primary damage tool are you AAs, he can counterstrike and engage you easily, landing tons of damage and pressuring you before you can sustain. You don't do much against him late game, pray that you find a good teamfight to ult and your team follows you up.
Darius
Kiteable but he outduels you if you extend a trade, keep him as far away as you can while poking and sustaining, Ult + E away after he uses his E on you if you get ganked.
Shen
Poke the heck out of him and desingage with E + Q + W if he tries to taunt you, sustain your health back if he lands his combo on you, try to get a stun off if he tries to ult someone.
