VS

Aatrox
Easy
Good clear+sustain, decent damage but very squishy. In teamfights you can simply grab him if he decides to Q in and he'll be dealt with accordingly.
VS

Alistar
Easy
Not much to say here, he will gank your lanes, you will either counter the ganks with your own or counterjungle him. He has 0 kill potential on you, but you can't kill him either if he plays his cards correctly. Try to get a ward on his wraiths and invade his red lvl 2, providing you got a smiteless blue yourself.
VS

Amumu
Easy
Easy matchup. You can even look to kill him at his red at level 2! Amumu is very weak early, but don't underestimate him. If he has higher hp he might kill you, so be careful. You both have playmaking abilities, just try your best to counterjungle him and make his life hell.
VS

Cho'Gath
Easy
VS

Diana
Easy
Diana has nothing on you. You can permaslow her to death pre 6, and after 6 she still won't do enough damage to scratch you. Go offensive counterjungling as soon as you can, since she will want to reach level 6 as soon as she can. You need to stop her!
VS

Dr. Mundo
Easy
VS

Elise
Easy
VS

Evelynn
Medium
A lot of burst, but your ult counters hers.
VS

Fiddlesticks
Easy
He doesn't have shit on you, but nor do you on him. He has a really slow clear and if you can catch him with his pants down he will get destroyed. Try to outscale him and gank all the lanes pre 6, when he can't(that efficiently). Your ult also counters his in a way! Fiddle flashing into your team? Drag him out!
VS

Gangplank
Easy
Yarrrrrr, he has a slower clear time than you, and duels worse if you can catch him off guard. Care at your red tho, his lvl 2 can be scary if he catches you off guard. Just outscale and outgank him.
VS

Hecarim
Easy
VS

Jarvan IV
Medium
A mediocre matchup for skarner. His clear time is slower, but his ganks and duelling power are terror. Careful if you want to counterjungle, he will most likely kill you if he finds you in the wrong place at the wrong time. Play safe, countergank lanes and outscale him.
VS

Jax
Medium
He scales better, but it takes him REALLY long due to lackluster farm as a jungler. He is super squishy early but dishes out tons of damage, don't fight him after 6. You can 1v1 him before.
VS

Kha'Zix
Hard
VS

Lee Sin
Medium
VS

Malphite
Medium
He scales better, but has a really slow clear and super weak ganks early. Counterjungle as much as possible, he will NEVER kill you in a 1v1 situation (maybe at the 55th minute with a full build)
VS

Maokai
Easy
VS

Nautilus
Easy
Squishy early, slow clear. Go bone him at his red asap! You scale better and if he misses the hook, he can't land a gank. You do way more damage aswell, so just go bash his big skull in and send him back to the depths.
VS

Nocturne
Easy
VS

Nunu
Hard
Nunu is simply broken atm. His clearspeed is unmatched and he's relevant throughout the whole game. What you have that he doesn't, however, is a really beast initiate. Look for ganks alot and try to ward your/his/both jungle entrances to prevent invades and remember to always keep dragon/baron warded. Nunu can solo dragon at level 5(even earlier sometimes) and baron at 15 provided he gets some items.
VS

Sejuani
Easy
Got nerfed
VS

Shaco
Hard
He can escape you forever, he has higher damage early and he will gank all your lanes before you can even kill your own blue buff. What to do? Countergank and wait for him to fall off. Tell your lanes to play really passive. Try to get 6 asap and gank for your team.
VS

Shen
Easy
You have a faster clear, you scale equally and you have equal presence in teamfights. His ult is annoying and he gets supertanky late. Try to disable him early or gank alot.
VS

Shyvana
Medium
Outscales you, but you have tools to stop her and blow her up if she goes full yolo.
VS

Skarner
Medium
SKARNERCEPTION?
VS

Trundle
Easy
VS

Udyr
Hard
Broken atm, you can't keep up with anyhing he does.
VS

Vi
Easy
Nerfed
VS

Xin Zhao
Medium
Has a huge early game, so take care for counterganks/invades. After 6 you can start making plays against his team.
Early game Back to Top
Powerfarm and gank overextending lanes. Don't be afraid to invade if you have sufficient vision
Mid game Back to Top
Get dragon control and superior vision. Look to flash engage on a carry without QSS at any point of time.
Late game Back to Top
Stay with your team. Group up and look for a pick with your flash grab, or look for smaller skirmishes around key objectives. Play around your spires
If the enemy team is sieging, group up and do the same. Look for an opening to flash+R a prio target (AP/AD)
