Rengar
Annoying, Early he's gonna camp the bush and deny poke and CS, then when he gets R it's a matter of outrunning him or getting oneshotted.
Have fun!
Ryze
Any champion with CC really, if enemies get close to you somebody will have to save you, having a point&click CC champion to keep them rooted while you land W after W on them is gonna make the game easier

Second Skin (Passive) |
✦Your main damage when W evo comes online, but don't underestimate this even in lane as popping this while the enemy is under 50% health is gonna burst him |
Kai'sa Top is all about getting to that 2 item powerspike as fast as possible so get those minions, first strike procs and plating.
You shouldn't be fighting at all unless you can get first strike and passive procs to bully them out of lane.
Once you get Evolved W you should never be in AA range, play it like a sniper and you'll get kills while being completly safe yourself.
Early Game
You're starting cull for a reason, Q the first three minions and start farming, if you're versus a melee toplaner harass them with autoattacks and abilities and try to proc first strike everytime it's up to get that bonus +9 gold and damage.
Use abilities liberally to get cs or harass since you have biscuits/tear/manaflow, it makes farming way easier since you shouldn't be missing minions with AA + Q.
You shouldn't be fighting/roaming too much but people don't expect passive damage so try to get a cheesy first blood if you can, really speeds up the game.
First recall should be tear + manamune components, second/third should be manamune + crystal, if not farm more and recall less.
Ideally by 11/12 minutes you should have Q evolved, realistically 13/14, when that happens keep farming and pushing waves with Q, threaten the toplaner with Q damage by constantly shoving under turret.
Mid Game
When you start building AP and getting W evolved you're whole gameplay changes.
Stop going near people and just poke them with W repeatedly, then shove waves with Q.
Hover mid constantly and threaten people with W + passive burst damage, use R to save yourself/reposition or to assassinate poked targets.
Get good at hitting W since this build demands precision, 8 seconds of damage downtime is alot for such an easily missable ability, so just don't miss ;).
Help your team with sieging and stay around people with CC, they'll make your job easier, only enter fights when you're sure you're gonna win them, if not stay away and keep poking.
Late Game
Every enemy should be killable in 2/3 W hits, once you reach fullbuild you're gonna be a menace and should be able to win easily, don't get overconfident and keep away if you know you're gonna be killed, no matter how fed a good player can kill you easily if you misposition.
But yes if you can't farm and can't scale it will be a 4v5.
