CassiopeiaExtremeThis matchup is horrible for him. Dodge his dash, out damage him with your poison, and win every extended trade.
HeimerdingerExtremeYou are unwinnable for him. Zone him with your turrets so he cannot dash in, and stun him when he engages.
AkshanMajorYou have ranged farming and outrange him. Poke him with your Q, then swing away when he tries to all in.
AnnieMajorPunish him when he uses abilities to farm. Stun him with your combo and burst him before he can dash in.
AuroraMajorYou outrange him and never let him engage. Poke him down and punish him whenever he walks up to trade.
GalioMajorTrade with him early before he gets items. Your W blocks his burst and your taunt cancels his all in.
