Doran's RingDoran's Ring. Blasting WandBlasting Wand is priority. Rush Nashor's ToothNashor's Tooth. Boots of SwiftnessBoots of Swiftness good.

Start QGwen Q level 1 and poke Dr. MundoDrMundo when he goes for CS. Stand behind minions to dodge cleavers.

  • You hard win on Nashor's ToothNashor's Tooth + Oblivion Orb even if behind

  • You can take Ghost instead of Ignite and rush Oblivion Orb because they tend to run away

  • Try to abuse his weak early game

  • First StrikeFirst Strike if you feel like the matchup is too easy. Can also run Bone Plating if you die too much early

Doran's RingDoran's Ring. Blasting WandBlasting Wand is priority — Dagger + Boots + Glowing Mote gives you 5 Jack of All Trades stacks. Rush Nashor's ToothNashor's Tooth.

Start QGwen Q level 1 and stack it up and poke SionSion. Be careful — they sometimes start QSion Q and go into a bush and try to fully stack it onto you level 1, so hug the side opposite of the bush.

  • Use EGwen E and WGwen W to dodge his Q. You win any trade with fully stacked Q unless you miss it

  • Be careful if you ever back on a bad wave — he can push really fast and get plates fast

  • Try not to let him go between your towers — you want him to stay laning with you so you can punish his weak early game

  • After 6 you hard win the all-in until the rest of the game — if you engage and he has RSion R stand behind him so he can't run away with ult

  • In an all-in if you can get close to him keep moving around him to dodge his Q

Challenger

Doran's RingDoran's Ring. Blasting WandBlasting Wand is priority — Dagger + Boots + Glowing Mote gives you 5 Jack of All Trades stacks. Rush Nashor's ToothNashor's Tooth.

Start QGwen Q and get priority level 1. Push in 3/4 waves depending on situation and do a cheater recall. When GarenGaren uses his silence use Q to disjoint his silence (use Q before silence so it procs).

  • He is pretty unkillable and if he has Phase Rush you won't be able to catch him or kill him ever — mostly just focus on farming and getting free Q trades

  • Be careful if you're close to 60% HP with Ignite — he can 100-0 you with RGaren R. If that happens, reset

  • Afterwards he can 100-0 on side if he is full damage so look for 5v5s rather than 1v1s

  • First StrikeFirst Strike possible to get free gold but will be hard into a good Garen

Doran's RingDoran's Ring. Blasting WandBlasting Wand is priority — Dagger + Boots + Glowing Mote gives you 5 Jack of All Trades stacks. Rush Nashor's ToothNashor's Tooth.

If you leave him open start EGwen E level 1 and E out of JaxJax's EJax E and make him push the wave. If he ever jumps on you use QGwen Q then E out.

  • If he wastes his E after 6 he is killable if you have higher HP than him

  • Try to poke him once or twice with Q then all-in with RGwen R if his QJax Q is down

  • You can use your R as a spacing tool — if he is Qing onto you and then using E and your E is down, you can use your R to slow him to get away from the stun and then proceed to all-in him if the situation is good

  • You are both around even at 1 item. Anyone can win the 1v1 depending on his E after laning phase

ZaahenZaahen is really strong level 1 — give CS and let wave crash until you're level 3.

  • After that you can short trade on WGwen W

  • Look if he uses Q on wave and then trade when it's down

  • Never go for all-in unless he is low — you have to poke him first since he wins all-in pre 6

  • If you dodge his ult level 6 it's a free kill

  • Outscale him in the 1v1 on first item
