You can Q on him anytime as long as you get 4 stacks. Use your Q to dodge his Qs, and if you can't dodge his Q3, use W to tank it. Don't be scared to all-in him — his ult doesn't help him as much as you might think. Use your Q to dodge his Q1 and Q2, W to tank his Q3. Dash around minions to dodge all his Qs. | |

![]() Jax | Not Favored | 427 | 47% | -64 | -314 | +1 Altruistic-Stable232 Master
You can approach the wave level 1 and get CS against Jax
Attack him when his E is on CD. Tank his E with your W if you have to. Bait his E with your Q. Post 6 try to bait out his ult, and then all-in him. | |
![]() Gangplank | Easy | 411 | 50% | +327 | -343 | 0 Altruistic-Stable232 Master
All-in on him whenever you can. Try to destroy his barrels — if you have a good reaction time and your stacks, you can get them 9/10 times. If you can all-in him for the cost of tanking a barrel, do it, as he doesn't have enough damage to finish you up close. Make sure to let your team know when he hits level 6. GP is very squishy, so as long as you don't miss all your Es and your ult, you will win the all-in. Break his barrels with your high attack speed from your stacks. | |

![]() Garen | Favored | 388 | 46% | +349 | +73 | +1 Altruistic-Stable232 Master
Tank his Q with your W. You win all-in against him every time, as he doesn't have any constant damage. If he uses any of his abilities to push the wave, just all-in on him. Try to kill him in 1 or 2 all-ins, as he will outsustain you with his passive. Don't be scared of his ult — as long as you start your all-in on equal ground, you will win. His level 1 is pretty weak, so if you can get your stacks up, you should try to make him as low as possible, and then get a crash and a cheater recall. Tank his Q with W. All-in him with your E and ult. Don't be scared of him post 6, you win the all-in. Cheater recall and freeze. | |
![]() Malphite | Hard | 388 | 48% | +638 | +1,824 | +1 Altruistic-Stable232 Master
Malphite
All-in him as much as you can before he outscales you. | |
![]() Zaahen | Easy | 365 | 48% | +652 | +1,028 | ||
![]() Darius | Skill | 351 | 48% | +18 | +290 | +1 Altruistic-Stable232 Master
This matchup is Irelia favoured. You need to not be intimidated by Darius
All-in him level 2 and above, but you need to hit E. Do not be scared of his ult post 6 as you still win the all-in — it's very important to not be scared of him. | |
