Blitzcrank
If you get cranked, you die. He either instantly stuns you or silences you, meaning you can't use your Black Shield. You need to stay behind minions (meaning you can't use your Dark Binding) or predict his hook and use Black Shield early.
Miss Fortune
She can add her AOE to yours when you hit Dark Binding for extra damage, and her ult Bullet Time is perfect with the slow/root/stun in your kit.

Champion Build Guide
Dark Binding is one of the longest immobilises in the game, and with the additional slow it is a death sentence for whomever you land it on.
- If you or an ally are being chased,
Dark Binding along with
Black Shield make you extremely hard to catch up with.
Black Shield gives an immunity to cc in a cc-heavy lane, providing great safety.
Tormented Shadow can be used to easily poke long-range.
- Using
Soul Shackles can stun multiple enemy champions, turning teamfights to your side.
- Without a dash, you are vulnerable to skillshots and cc (when
Black Shield is on cooldown).
Soul Shackles can be difficult to use due to its short range and your nature as a squishy champion.
- When you use
Zhonya's Hourglass/
Stopwatch during
Soul Shackles, enemies who are no immobilised can simply walk out of its range to avoid being stunned.
- Less damage than Lux, another root support but with huge burst damage.
- Your
Dark Binding does a lot of damage, so can be used to long-range execute or even steal
Rift Herald,
Drake, or
Baron Nashor
- The stun from
Soul Shackles only occurs after 3 seconds, so live for as long as you can chasing the enemies down before using
Zhonya's Hourglass or
Stopwatch to prevent them walking out of its range. Wait at least 0.5 seconds before using stasis when you cast
Soul Shackles.
Black Shield has a long cooldown early-game so only use it when it's very likely that cc is going to occur or when you or an ally is at risk of dying.
- If someone pings that they're engaging, it's usually a good idea to
Black Shield them immediately as they're acting as the front line.
