Matchup	Difficulty	Win Rate	Games Played	Early	Mid	Late	Tips
Alistar	4			Win	Lose	Win	Play extremely aggressive level 1-2 and abuse Alistar's nonexistant early game. Use the bushes to reset minion agro and try to build a lead here in hp.(beware of level 3 jg gank where Alistar can just flash setup). Respect Alistar's level 3-6 where its likely he'll use bushes and cheese with hexflash. If alistar does engage your adc, focus on landing your Q stun on enemy adc through minions. Post 6, you should be able to outroam and outteamfight Alistar
Blitzcrank	8			Lose	Lose	Win	Play defensively early game, be especially cautious level 1 right as blitzcrank hits level 2, they really like to all-in here for hook. Focus on spacing so Blitzcrank doesn't get openings to hook you and try to work with your ADC to keep the wave at your tower. You really want to roam alot in this lane and work with your jungler because you are better in skirmishes than Blitzcrank is. Try to neutralize the 2v2 in the early game. If you get hooked, you are usually going to die, take Guardian if you aren't confident
Leona	6			Win	Skill	Win	You can outplay Leona and she won't see it coming. Whenever Leona E's a target, she ends up behind them. You want to abuse this by baiting Leona to engage on you when you're nearby a wall and Q backwards so it guarantee stuns before Leona can use her Q stun. Level 1 play extremely aggressive as she can't do much, level 2-5 outplay with the trading pattern mentioned earlier, level 6 onwards is pretty skill dependent with ultimates
Nami	4			Lose	Win	Win	You will hard lose laning phase in terms of trading but level 6 onwards the lane just turns in your favor so use R often in 2v2 and also outroam her
Pyke	7			Lose	Skill	Win	Very difficult matchup to lane against depending on the Pyke's skill level, you can outdo him in teamfights but try to focus on neutralizing and staying alive early game 2v2.
