5 | Last update | 12/02/2022 | |||||||||||||||||
6 | Comments: | U play mostly the same way vs all mages, you also play mostly the same way vs assassins, and adcs so if u can categorize your matchup, you will know how to play. For example Mages: Let the wave push, Start trading lvl 3 by using Q on minion -> E dagger on enemy -> W to dodge their skillshot like Zoe E, Orianna Q etc. and then you Q and decide if u go for all in or back off. If u want to climb fast and u think u are beetter than the enemies i recommend u to always take conqueror with an aggressive starting item like longsword/dblade to punish the enemies mistakes and win lane. NOTE THAT I MOSTLY TAKE KEYSTONE AGAINST TEAMCOMPS AND NOT MATCHUPS, in this guide many of the matchups will have conq because that gives the most kill pressure for katarina and its the easiest way to climb out of low elo. I would take conqueror and kill enemy mid if i was smurfing. On main i usually just safe farm and teamfight. | |||||||||||||||||
7 | Matchup | Win | Lose | Skill | Conq | Elec | Difficulty | Comment | ||||||||||||||
8 | Ahri | Win | Conq | Easy | Start longsword and trade lvl 3+ if she steps up far in the lane E behind her -> dodge her E with ur W -> Q AA and either commit for a kill or take the short trade win and E back to minions and wait for your cooldowns. Pre 6 easy, after 6 Ahri is hard to kill because of her R so give prio until you have 60-80AP so u can oneshot waves and roam. U can dodge her spells with your E. | ||||||||||||||
9 | Akali | Lose | Doesnt matter | Hard | U can kill her lvl 2-5 due to her being super squishy in the early game. If she E's u, u can E back near your tower and she will follow u.Take Dblade with conq or darkseal with elec. U let her push early and trade on her with your daggers, dodge her E with your W after u E on her and after that she has no dmg and she has to back off or she dies. after lvl 6 u have to play very safe, always let her push and never contest the wave, just farm under tower and never try to 1v1 her, she will always win because of her high damage and utility. You just farm and try to carry teamfights. | ||||||||||||||
10 | Anivia | Skill | Conq | Medium | Take dshield if she has ignite + elec, otherwise take dblade/longsword and start trading with her lvl 3 by Q on minion -> E dagger on anivia > W to dodge her Q and then either commit for all in or back off for short trade. shes kinda a squishy immobile mage but very dangerous if u get hit by her Q so try to learn to dodge her Q and u should win the matchup or get prio after a couple of recalls. The early lane before first recall is always the hardest. Once u get nashors tooth u will oneshot her, so dont be scared to engage. If she uses Q in lane and misses you, thats your window to punish her. | HIGH DPS PAGE | |||||||||||||
11 | Annie | Lose | Conq | Hard | The only way we can win this lane as katarina is if we have conqueror and start dblade/longsword and try to kill her lvl 2/3 if she walks up because u let her push. Other than that, i always start Dshield because the annies i vs are good and i just farm and roam. U can win 2v2s and other fights, just dont 1v1 atleast until u have nashors tooth powerspike and u are even with annie. U can also take elec+tp/ign and tp to bot/top early when a fight happens, so u can escape early laning phase. | ||||||||||||||
12 | Aurelion Sol | Win | Conq | Easy/Medium | If u want to kill him early u should start longsword/dblade. longsword gives more sustain short term but dblade gives more sustain if u want to stay in the lane for a long time. U have all in window lvl 2 if he walks up too far, otherwise wait for lvl 3 and trade by Q on minion -> E dagger on Asol -> W and dodge his Q with your extra movespeed then pick up the dagger to hit him and Q E to keep going. When u have 60-80 AP items u will just start playing for prio and perma push and roam. | ||||||||||||||
13 | Azir | Skill | Conq | Medium | Save your hp lvl 1, if azir walks up lvl 2 you can do a heavy trade by Q E on him and run him down with conq + longsword/dblade. Lvl 3+ If he walks up far u can engage on him by E behind him, but assuming he plays good, he will keep his distance while poking you, but EVERY time he uses his Q u want to engage on him with your E because u will win. Try to block his path to a soldier when u engage so he cant use his E to escape. If this is a hard matchup for you, take dshield and farm the best u can while saving hp because he will get oom before ur hp gets too low. | ||||||||||||||
14 | Brand | Win | Conq | Medium | bait his W by walking in and out of its max range and just like the other matchups u can all in lvl 2/3 with conq+dblade/longsword. dodge his Q stun with ur W movement speed just like vs all mages with cc spells. U win almost all trades so u can just E on him every time its up, either by Q'ing a minion first or E behind him and dodge his Q, thats it. At 1 item u oneshot him. (nashors tooth). | ||||||||||||||
15 | Cassiopeia | Lose | Doesnt matter | Hard | This is a losing matchup, but u can win by farming and roaming but u have to dodge her Q. If u get hit by her Q u lose, if u can dodge it with your E for example u win. so just be ready to E on her if she Q's on you. After lvl 6 u can dodge her R stun while u are ulting if u click a step back to turn around and instantly press R. When u get nashors tooth u can oneshot her but u always have to turn around before ulting. | ||||||||||||||
16 | Cho'Gath | Win | Conq | Medium | If he ever Q's u can E on him and win the trade, lvl 3 u win hard no matter what so engage on him early on. Other than that u just farm and hard outscale him, wait out his W before ulting and u can also E behind him to dodge his W. | ||||||||||||||
17 | Corki | Win | Doesnt matter | Easy | Trade with him evry time u have spells up, easy matchup to win just by permatrading or all in if u have conq. | ||||||||||||||
18 | Diana | Lose | Conq | Hard | u want to trade with her when she has cooldowns, so if u can bait her W u can all in her when the shield is gone, or u can take winning short trades by E'ing on her every time she presses Q on u to dodge it. When u have 60-80AP (Blasting wand, Darkseal, Amptome) u just start oneshotting waves and roam. after lvl 6 the lane gets harder because she can interrupt your R with her R, so dont use it until she has used hers. | ||||||||||||||
19 | Ekko | Skill | Doesnt matter | Medium/Hard | Every time ekko uses a spell u can trade on him. For example if he Q's the wave or E's a minion. U never want to start a trade when he has his Q and E up. So just sit back and farm until u see him use a spell. | ||||||||||||||
20 | Fizz | Skill | Conq | Hard | Never walk into his Q range and u will be fine, every time he steps on a dagger u can take the dagger on him, press W and E out. If u are pushing and he wants to Q you, you can dodge his Q by E'ing on a minion behind u. And if he ever tries to force too hard on u (wanting to Q u when u are standing near tower and behind your minions) you can let him Q and u do AA E AA W and chase him down after he presses E. After lvl 6 the lane gets alot harder because if u get hit by his R from afar u will die unless u have anything to E away to. The key to survive after lvl 6 is to alwayss let him push and u farm under tower. Always be ready for him to Q R cancel animation so if u see him Q minion u need to press W and dodge his R. He cant hit his R on u if u keep ur distance and either E away to something or W extra ms. All u need to do in this lane is to survive and then u outscale him and outteamfight him. | ||||||||||||||
21 | Galio | Skill | Conq | Easy | In this lane u can choose how to play. 1. Start darkseal and just let him push and farm under tower and get easy 10cs/min because he cant punish u with poke. 2. Start dblade and look to play very aggressive lvl 2-5 to try to kill him because thats when he is the squishiest and you can win. Sometimes depending on his runes/sums u have to wait out a spell for example his Q or passive AA and then u can go. Consider this as a farming lane which we love as katarina because we get items and carry teamfights. U hard outscale galio. Spamping when he is missing out of lane so ur team doesnt die. Try to follow his roams AFTER u clear the waves if he has prio. Otherwise u just shove and roam. GET MERCS OR UNFLINCHING+TENACITY RUNES | ||||||||||||||
22 | Garen | Lose | Conq | Hard | Same thing with galio here. U can choose darkseal and just not get punished for farming because he is a melee champ without any poke unless u let him Q u, so dont let him Q u and just farm. U hard outscale him and can do alot more in teamfights/2v2's 3v3's 4v4's. U can also start Dblade and try to kill him just like galio, in that case u want to trade with him every time he uses a CD on minions or just lvl 3 if he is pushed into u, but play it slow and calculated. | ||||||||||||||
23 | Gragas | Lose | Conq | Medium | Farming lane, u NEVER want to trade with him so just start darkseal and scale. U oneshot him when u have nashors tooth. GET MERCS!!!! IS A MUST!!!! | ||||||||||||||
24 | Heimerdinger | Lose | Elec | Hard | Take Dshield and just farm. U can even take second wind in this matchup to just completely deny his poke potential on u and that way u can get high cs numbers under tower, just wait for a gank, watch out for his E when he has 3 turrets down. at 1 item u can oneshot him if he walks into a dagger/ur E range. Try to dodge his E. U outscale. | ||||||||||||||
25 | Irelia | Skill | Doesnt matter | Hard | Respect her Q range, stay away from low hp minions and do NOT walk up when she has 4 stacks or has enough low minions so she CAN get 4 stacks. Always take short trades vs her, its really easy to setup a dagger on her into W, dodge her E (impossible for her to hit thru ur W movespeed), pickup W dagger and E out. Try to keep wave at your side. If your wave is pushing to her, dont get stressed, she probably doesnt have minions low hp to stack her Q on, so sit back, Q a low hp minion and if she steps on the dagger, u win in all in, or can also short trade. I recommend aggressive starting item with conq or darkseal/cloth armor with elec. | ||||||||||||||
26 | Jayce | Lose | Elec | Hard | This lane is just like lucian or any adc's. Try to farm the best u can. Wait for ganks, dont 1v1, only short trades sometimes if he uses a cd and can get hit by a dagger or 2. Win after 1 item. | ||||||||||||||
27 | Karma | Win | Elec | Easy | Stay away from minions, farm with Q and take every dagger she steps on for a short trade and E out. she has good gank setup with her W so dont get hit by the full W and after 1 item u should oneshot her, this is mostly a farming lane, she cant really punish you. | ||||||||||||||
28 | Kassadin | Skill | Conq | Medium/Hard | Start Dblade, Let him push to you, wait for lvl 3 and instantly all in him with all u got ( E W AA Q AA ignite etc. ) If he pushes to u its a free kill lvl 3 every single time. After lvl 6 u have to respect his R so be very careful unless ure ahead. If he ever presses R + Q u can instantly all in him because he cant get away from ur R and he cant cancel it so u win. U win 1v1 once u get nashors tooth (assuming u are even or ahead). This matchup is VERY snowbally. If kass ever gets ahead, its impossible to 1v1 him unless he fks up (for example R + Q). Try to avoid 1v1ing him if hes stronger than u, and always play with ur team especially in early fights u should be always outperforming him in fights | ||||||||||||||
29 | Kled | Skill | Conq | Medium | Sit back and farm with Q, if he steps on dagger u can short trade. Dodge his Q with ur W ms and once u make him dismount, dont let him hit u, run back and wait for ur cds and then try to all in him if he is low enough. The key in this matchup is to kite him when he is dismounted, and after lvl 6 u can always just E R him when hes dismounted for a kill. | ||||||||||||||
30 | Leblanc | Skill | Elec | Hard | Always stay behind ur minions in this matchup. Dshield is a good starting item vs leblanc because all ure looking to do in this lane is to SURVIVE until u have 1 item. U will always outteamfight her so consider urself being the scaling champion in this matchup. Lvl 1 if she W's you, dont be scared to trade back with an AA+Q because she will lose the trade if ur minions start attacking her, thats why we sit behind minions. Never let her hit chain on u, if she does u lose, if she misses u win (pre 1 item) after 1 item it doesnt matter if u get hit. Always be ready to E away from her W in lane, and u can setup daggers on her and do Q E W -> E out for short elec trades that u win. Be careful sustainwise tho if she has corrupting u dont wanna do this all the time early on. | ||||||||||||||
31 | Lissandra | Win | Conq | Easy | Dodge her Q poke by not standing behind minions, can all in lvl 3 with conq + aggro starting item. If she walks into ur E range u can just always E behind her and do a short trade, slowly but surely shes gonna be unable to play the game. Just watch out for ganks. GET MERCS!!!!!!!!!! After lvl 6 u have to respect liss + JG so give her prio unless u see enemy JG. If u dont want to play aggressive, u can just start Darkseal and farm and play with ur team. In teamfights u gotta out for her R so dont go in first or isolated. | ||||||||||||||
32 | Lucian | Lose | Elec | Hard | Lucian is probably the hardest matchup because of his INSANE damage early game and ability to dodge ur daggers with his E. best starting item vs lucian is dshield. It gets easier the longer the game goes, especially after a couple of recalls, also he cant play too aggro because then he will just die to ganks so if he is not respecting ur jungler, u should ping. | ||||||||||||||
33 | Lux | Win | Elec | Easy | Dont stand in minions and just dodge her spells with ur E, this is like one of the easiest matchups. Not much to say about it, can just play however u want to be honest xD. | ||||||||||||||
34 | Malphite | Win | Conq | Medium | u can kill him lvl 3 all in with ur early kill potential because hes squishy, and other than that u can just farm and outscale him. U dont win when u are building for nashors tooth and hes building for tank because his items are stronger, so dont fight him, just wait for nashors tooth powerspike and then maybe u win again but u dont need to 1v1. Can just win teamfights by waiting out his R before going in and then wiping everyone out. | ||||||||||||||
35 | Malzahar | Win | Conq | Medium | Let him push and all in lvl 2/3, he is very weak early on so u can abuse him pretty hard, kill his voidlings asap and dont stand close to minions that are about to die by malzahar's E. After lvl 6 u have to give him prio unless u know where enemy JG/SUP are. Nashors -> QSS 2nd always | ||||||||||||||
36 | Neeko | Win | Doesnt matter | Medium | Take elec if enemies are squishy and then u can start Dshield/Darkseal, or u can take conq and try to kill her, then u start longsword/dblade and let her push and all in her lvl 3 by E'ing behind her and then dodging her E with ur W ms. Neeko is OP early so respect her dmg. U can dodge all her abilities with ur E's and W's. U dont win before 1 item except for early katarina lvl 3 powerspike so just play for CS. GET MERCS!!!!!!!!!! | ||||||||||||||
37 | Nocturne | Skill | Doesnt matter | Medium | U just let him push, they mostly just permapush so u can just farm under tower, u can easily gank him because of this so never 1v1 him because he will win before ur 1 item. Dont need seekers in this matchup since we wont fight him and he will just permapush, at 1 item u can just all in to oneshot him. Spamping when he is SS for ur team so they dont die. | ||||||||||||||
38 | Orianna | Lose | Doesnt matter | Hard | In lower elos the oriannas will either play too safe or too aggressive, either way if they play too safe u just free farm and dont try to do much against her, if they play too aggressive u kill them lvl 3 with longsword/dblade + conq. Otherwise if u have elec then u start dshield and just farm and wait for ganks. After 1 item u oneshot her if she walks into ur E range. Low elo oris are wasy to kill but in higher elos they will poke from max range so just try to farm and dodge her abilities with E and good spacing to bait her Q like faking going for cs and then insta walking back. | ||||||||||||||
39 | Pantheon | Skill | Conq | Hard | This lane u can either play to kill or to survive. If u play to kill (very possible to kill because he is aggro and if he uses a CD while pushing lvl 3 u can E behind him and all in with aggro item start.) EVERY TIME PANTH USES Q, USE YOUR Q AND E ON THE DAGGER TO TRADE WITH HIM. Sit far back when he has abilites up and just farm with Q, your opportunity is when he uses Q. Otherwise just farm the best u can and wait for fights to happen in river or for ur jungler to gank him since its pretty easy to gank a pushing pantheon cuz he is immobile. Just watch out for his melee Q, dont stand close. Play vs him like he is a Ranged champ. U hard outscale him already at 1 item. | ||||||||||||||
40 | Qiyana | Lose/Skill | Elec | Hard | Let her push, dont eat damage from her for free. You can buy a ruby crystal+cloth armor when posssible after 1-2 recalls to deny her oneshot potential. You will build these items into protobelt and zhonyas anyway. Dont try to 1v1 her unless she is low hp (50%). After 1 item you can win, try to avoid walls for her R. If u get hit by her R on a wall u can SPAMCLICK E on her to dodge her next Q while u are stunned. | ||||||||||||||
41 | Renekton | Lose | Conq | Hard | Start darkseal and look to farm without trading unless he uses cooldowns on minions. Dont fight him when he has red fury and all cds up, wait it out and just try to farm the best u can with Q. dont get baited to take any daggers that he steps on, u just have to survive in this lane and u outscale after 1 item. | ||||||||||||||
42 | Rumble | Skill | Doesnt matter | Medium/Hard | If u wanna kill him early u go conq with dblade and all in lvl 2/3 if he is pushed up and has used his W. Otherwise just farm and play with ur team, u outscale him hard. | ||||||||||||||
43 | Ryze | Win | Conq | Medium | Play safe until lvl 3 and all in him. E W and save Q until his root is gone on u. Then Q E to finish him with ignite. At lvl 6 u win 1v1, the most important thing to keep in mind in this lane is to not fall behind in xp. Its easy to get an early kill and get ahead, but its hard to stay ahead because of his farming power, u cant really put him behind, especially if he rushes verdant barrier. After u get a lead in lane, u want to use it to permapush and roam to get ur team ahead because u have to count on not being ahead solo vs ryze after mid game. Win teamfights and roam alot with ur lead. | ||||||||||||||
44 | Seraphine | Win | Doesnt matter | Easy | Just stay away from minions so u dont get hit by her aoe Q + E and practice farming under tower. This is mostly a farm lane if she just plays from max range, but if she walks into ur E range post lvl 3, u can always do a short trade. | ||||||||||||||
45 | Sett | Lose | Conq | Hard | This lane u have to keep urself very restrained and have practiced patience. NEVER walk into his E range, respect him like u would respect ur mom if she aims a slipper at u. U will just farm under tower here, never take any dagger on him and try to get 8cs/m. Shouldnt be too hard to farm when he is permapushing. Never 1v1 him and just farm patiently until u have 1 item. U outscale him like no tomorrow, he is just an early game lane bully. U can go in on him if u are getting a gank. After u have enough AP u can oneshot waves and E out and roam. Dont look for 1v1 pre 1 item. | ||||||||||||||
46 | Swain | Win | Conq | Easy | Stay out of his E range lvl 1 and try to bait his abilities by faking to walk for cs. Take longsword and 3 pots and post lvl 3 just look to trade on him every time he walks into ur E range or into a dagger. The risk in this matchup is jungle pressure, so watch out for enemy jungler, always try dodge the swain E when u trade on him because him hitting his E is the only way he can trade back. | ||||||||||||||
47 | Sylas | Skill | Conq | Medium | 2 ways to play. 1, only farm (he cant punish) 2. Start dblade and play very aggressive lvl 2-4. After these lvls, if u dont have an hp lead or a kill, u just gotta lean back and farm, let him push. If he ever starts his combo on u with E after lvl 6 he cant cancel ur R anymore and u should all in him unless he is ahead in xp/items. U win no matter what when u have nashors tooth. | ||||||||||||||
48 | Syndra | Lose | Elec | Hard | If the enemy is bad u can take conq + longsword 3pots and kill her lvl 2/3. I just take dshield and farm and roam. No point in trying to 1v1 when she can just press R into an undodgable E to kill u. | ||||||||||||||
49 | Talon | Skill | Elec | Hard | Trade with him every time he uses his W on minions. after 1item u can oneshot him. Dont walk into his Q range otherwise and try to not get hit by 2w's. | ||||||||||||||
50 | Tristana | Lose | Elec | Hard | Can take TP or exhaust, take boneplating and try to farm under tower the best u can and wait for gank. Walk away from the tower when she E's it and it's about to explode. In general u dont want to 1v1 her but u can always go in if u have backup. After 1 item the rule is, u dont win if u engage on her with E, but u do win if she is standing on a dagger, so u can press W and run until she walks on it or prep Q on minions, be aware of exhaust tho, dont try to 1v1 if she has it. Early game respect her W range. | ||||||||||||||
51 | Twisted Fate | Win | Elec | Easy | Take longsword if ure tryna kill him early (lvl 2/3). This is generally a kinda hard matchup early because of his ability to harass u with aa's so just stand out of his aa range and then just try to prep daggers on him. Every time he uses W u can go in on him and he cant do anything. After lvl 6 u just win because of R diff. Can get mercs if they have more cc. | ||||||||||||||
52 | Veigar | Win | Elec | Easy | Start longsword and respect him lvl 1, When u have E u can always just trade on him, just dodge his cage and u'll be fine. Only thing u gotta watch for is the enemy JG. U can dodge Veigars W and E, so u should just outdamage him in every trade. When he starts playing safe and respecting u, just shove and roam. | ||||||||||||||
53 | Velkoz | Skill | Elec | Medium | Learn how to dodge his abilities and u will be fine with just farming. Iff he ever walks into your E range, punish him. If he ever uses his E after lvl 6, all in him. only thing u have to watch out for is not having ur E up or anything to E to when he wants to R u. | ||||||||||||||
54 | Viktor | Lose | Elec | Medium | Take dshield/darkseal and farm the best u can, just like most mage matchups. If he steps on a dagger u can take it lvl 3+. If he plays aggro u can call ur jungler for a free kill since he is immobile. His E is undodgable which is why Dshield is good. Post lvl 6, dont R before he R's just like with Diana. After 1 item u oneshot him like all mages. Dont stand behind CS he wants to E. | ||||||||||||||
55 | Viego | Skill | Conq | Hard | Dont let him ever touch u (melee range) Take conq and start dblade if u wanna kill, or darkseal if u wanna farm. I take Dblade in this matchup because I can punish him if he makes a mistake like using his Q on the wave while he is already close to ur tower at lvl 3. Weave in auto attacks and u should win the all in. Never trade with him, only all in, u lose in sustain. | ||||||||||||||
56 | Vladimir | Lose | Conq | Hard | Let him push and play very aggressive and perma trade with conq and dblade or longsword, try to limit test and see how it goes, usually if the vlad is bad he will keep taking trades with u and u can get him low enough after lvl 2/3 that he cant walk up anymore. BARRIER IGNITE IS VIABLE in this matchup, Rush Divine Sunderer with it and you will win 1v1. If he pools ur E W u run away and then if he walks up again without pool u trade. If he tries to freeze he will lose alot of hp and u can punish him, if u cant punish, roam. Play for roams. This lane is KEY to know good wave management in order to win, thats why its hard. Basically u want to make him play vs minions instead of 1v1. Then just permaroam while he is stuck in lane farming. U cant get fed off vlad but u can get fed off the rest of his team. | ||||||||||||||
57 | Wukong | Skill | Conq | Medium | Stay behind ur minions, if he E's on u, just AA E AA and u win the trade. The key to this matchup is to keep the lane at your side to make it hard for him to trade on u. If u trade smart u should win, or atleast not lose, remember that he is very gankable iof he plays aggressive. | ||||||||||||||
58 | Xerath | Win | Elec | Easy | Start longsword, can kill lvl 2/3, other than that just farm til first recall and after lvl 6 its an easy 1v1, or if u have a good jungle the xerath can never walk up. Play 1v1, 2v2, whatever u want. If xerath plays too safe, just shove and roam. Unless the wave is pushing to u, then u can force him to use abilities on the wave until he goes oom while u poke him with Q. | ||||||||||||||
59 | Yasuo | Lose | Conq | Hard | Start Dblade, let him push and kill him lvl 3. its really easy to do that if he is pushhing and u hit lvl 3 on ur side of the lane. Save ur Q and use ur E as an AA reset. If he gets hit by ur first dagger, he's dead. Just save ur Q until u want to finish him off when he is about to die by a Q E AA. Just dont let him windwall it. After that the only way u beat him is by using ur Q on minions to go on him. Start Every trade with a Q E W AA E out until hes basically dead. After lvl 6 u cant use ur R until he has used W. Always sit far back and respect his E range potential, u dont want to be in melee range vs yasuo, u want to play like a ranged champ with ur Q E W. After lane never try to 1v1 him, only 5v5 or other fights, just never 1v1. | ||||||||||||||
60 | Yone | Skill | Conq | Medium | You have the advantage early game and if he pushes its a free kill lvl 3 so take DBLADE. when he has 2 items u can never 1v1 him again. When u have nashors tooth u can oneshot him if u arent behind. Can dodge his R with E. Respect his Q3 and he should never be the one to get the first hit. | ||||||||||||||
61 | Zed | Skill | Conq | Hard | Contest push lvl 1, but dodge his Q's. Good movement is key here. If you can get lvl 2 first you just go. If he plays it correct tho he will outshove you and then you just wait for lvl 3. Lvl 3 Every time he presses W u want to E behind him and dodge his Q's. If he W's from max range and u cant E him, dodge his Q's by E'ing on minions. U win extended trades which is why we take conq in this matchup, so if u fully stack it ure gonna win. U just have to not let urself get hit by his Q's. IGNITE BARRIER/EXHAUST IS VIABLE, and rush Divine Sunderer. After lvl 6 u cant walk up (unless ure ahead) so just let him push and same thing, if he uses W, E him or anything else to dodge Q's, this matchup is all about dodging his Q's. If u can do that u will win. If u ever E W him after lvl 6 and u know he's gonna R, dont pick up the dagger, stand right next to it until Zed comes out of his shadow, then pick it up. Get zhonyas as 2nd item and in general dont try to 1v1 him after laning phase, he will always beat u UNLESS u are ahead. Play 2v2, 3v3, 4v4 and 5v5, because of ur insane reset and AOE potential u should outfight him, making u a much more useful midlaner. | ||||||||||||||
62 | Ziggs | Skill | Elec | Medium | Start dshield if he has ignite, or longsword if he has tp. Just farm and take the free daggers on him, if he is aggro he is gankable. After 1 item u oneshot. | ||||||||||||||
63 | Zoe | Lose | Elec | Hard | Start Dshield if u find this matchup hard and stay behind minions and move in a way behind minions so she cant hit her Q on u, or just walk out of its range. Wait out her empowered AA after her Q so u dont take unnecessary poke.This matchup IMPOSSIBLE 1v1 before 1 item so make her play vs minions instead of vs u, by not trading on her and just not letting her hit u for free. When the wave is bouncing back to her u can try to shove it and if she contests the wave u back off because she just made it push back to u. Roam at every opportunity u see. After lvl 3 can take dagger on her if she steps on it -> E W AA E out but u HAVE to dodge her bubble. If u get hit by bubble the lane is GG so if u wanna play safe and not take risky daggers its fine, just try to farm. If u decide to go in on her, save ur summoner spells until last second so she cant pick them up, and learn to sidestep her bubbles. After laning phase it gets easier in the sidelane, its hard for her to match u because its risky for her without mobility. BE CAREFUL IN RIVER BECAUSE SHE WILL PULL AN AMERICAN SNIPER FROM ACROSS MAP 1 BUBBLE 1 KILL. Dont let urself get hit by her poke before a teamfight starts and u should be able to win 5v5 because ur champ is a better teamfighter than hers. If u can focus her in a teamfight do it. For me the hardest part about vsing Zoe is not getting tilted at her picking up items/sums at every wave. | ||||||||||||||
