Amumu Even [5/10] This matchup shouldn’t be overly difficult as long as you play around his bandage toss as that’s his only engage tool without ult and flash. You can abuse him early with invades and counter ganks as you should win easily if you avoid his stun or get the jump on him. Once he gets items he will pose more of a threat and especially during teamfights, so try not to leap in while he has his ultimate to protect his backline. Q evolve and W evolve will be valuable in terms of dueling and disengage to deal with the matchup. Most Amumus will go tank and mostly be a threat during teamfights but if they are building AP, then be sure to not let them snowball through the early-mid-game and pick up Merc Treads if possible.

Camille Even [5/10] Be very mindful of her ganking ability at level 2 and try to ping your laners to be cautious. She's relatively easy to duel early on and invading her should be no trouble. Be careful of her trinity force spike as she will be a much larger threat as the game goes on and she begins to get tankier. Q evolve to shut her down by dueling her and outfarming her but R evolve is also an option for the extra passive procs and outplay potential.

Ekko Even [5/10] Can be easy to burst early on so long as you avoid his AoE stun and maximize your passive autos. Once he gets level 6 it'll be much harder to kill him with his ult available along with his burst potential once he has Runic Echos. Later on in the game you can try to bait out his R just be mindful of his ult clone or else you'll get obliterated without magic resist. Itemization is up to the situation but having Q evolve will allow you to win with much more ease. If you're having trouble with his healing consider picking up an executioner's calling or hexdrinker to prevent him from snowballing.

Elise Major [8/10] Avoid her stun, and you can have a reasonable chance; however, she still has more than enough damage to take you out in mere seconds. Either play the fight very cautiously or try not to fight her at all. Her spiderlings negate your isolation damage so make sure to use your Void Spikes to create isolation by killing her spiders and additionally you can pick up Tiamat to help with this. When fighting Elise try to jump to the side or diagonally instead of straight onto her to avoid her cocoon. Alternatively, you can use the maneuverability of your ult to dodge the stun by juking or jumping on top of her and using the speed to get behind her while invisible.

Evelynn Even [6/10] She is relatively easy to deal with in the early game, but at level 6 you will lose fights if you get hit by her charm. Watch for her strong pressure on your laners at level 6 as well - you might be able to find a good 2v2 countergank. Abuse her weakness pre 6 with invades and secure vision over her camps to know what side of the map she will be on. The most important part of the matchup takes place in the early game so try to punish her and counter gank accordingly before she gets a lead. Make sure to buy control wards post 6 and place them around your laners and near flanks to catch her out lategame.

Fiddlesticks Minor [4/10] The first thing to take note of is that he can remove isolation with his trinket so don't get baited in without having that in mind. His clear speed is also something to watch out for so be sure to warn laners if he's able to arrive before you. His CC in the forms of a fear and silence shouldn't be underestimated especially with them maxing Q now. There are opportunities where you'll have a level advantage on him but be unable to burst him in time due to his high armor per level and zhonyas itemization alongside his vast CC. R evolve can help in this matchup to dodge his fear but your primary focus should be on picking him off before he gets to use his ult and not letting your team get snowballed in 5v5's from his ultimate. You can minimize this risk with proper warding and pings.

Gragas Even [5/10] You should be able to 1v1 him unless he has a level or item advantage in the early game. His early clear can be quite slow so if you full clear you’ll have a decent advantage over him. You destroy him later on if you have a tank shredding item such as Black Cleaver or a Last Whisper item. If he gets ahead he can be a damage threat as well depending on his build so be mindful of his burst. Be aware of the disruption that he can causes with his ult during a teamfight, always wait for him to use his R before leaping in unless you can get a pick instantly.

Graves Extreme [9/10] Can be very annoying to deal with but you can change your playstyle to get have better odds against him. You can try to get the jump on him first and use Void Assault to stop him from auto attacking you, just be wary as he can easily dash away which leaves you vulnerable if you do not have Void Assault. Also take note of how tanky he can become while still dealing damage with the tankiness from True Grit, Challenging Smite, Ninja Tabis or more which negate your burst. Q evolve can make a big difference in dueling him. It’s recommended to pick up Conqueror in this matchup and evolve R into W to provide utility to your team and minimize some of his mobility. Lastly, be mindful of his early invades and ganks as they can be deadly.

Hecarim Even [4/10] He has the potential to face-roll you, but you should be able to fight him easily once you get evolved Q. Try to take advantage of him early-game with aggressive pathing and invades. Just make sure to avoid as much damage as possible with Void Assault. Be mindful of him snowballing lanes through early pressure. Go Q evolution for better dueling potential and focus your early game pathing around ganking/counter ganking. Also be sure to consider W evolve at level 11 to cripple his engage potential and save your backline from being dove. once he gets an item lead the matchup will be very hard to come back from post-trinity force.

Ivern Tiny [2/10] Hands down one of the easiest matchups in the game, outside of being cheesed early on, you should have no trouble winning 2v2s and straight up killing Ivern at every invade or duel. A huge factor in this matchup is knowing where he is starting so you don’t get cheesed in the early-game. Get wards down inside his jungle early or call for an invade/counterinvade if needed.

Jarvan IV Minor [4/10] The only problem that you will have with him is at level 3, where the matchup is based on skill. Make sure you’re mindful of how you use your Leap as he can simply E+Q onto you to knock you up for free if you don’t have Leap. Try to use your leap to dodge his knock-up to win most duels against him. After that is easy so long as he doesn’t get a lead over you. Be mindful of his build, as him going full AD could be a larger threat when ahead otherwise just invade him early and look to abuse him throughout the early stages.

Jax Even [5/10] It's a fairly easy matchup if you are able to use Void Assault and Leap correctly to get out of the way of his stun. If you can do that, you'll have no problem with him as long as you don't face tank the guy and take all of his hits. With Titanic Hydra and Sterak’s Gage lategame he can be difficult to kill. It’s recommended to go Q evolve if you want to stand a chance in terms of 1v1ing him. Also, R evolve can provide a lot of dueling power as well.

Karthus Even [6/10] Another matchup where it can be decided based on your proactivity. If you let Karthus farm up and don’t pressure him/lanes early-game, then you may struggle as the game progresses. Look to place aggressive wards whenever you can, and try to get early ganks off before he reaches 6, also before he can pick up his core items since your base stats will be much more impactful early than his. Q evolve should be good to quickly DPS him but R can be a viable choice as well. Prioritize lethality items such as Ghostblade and Edge of Night instead of Cleaver in your build as long as there aren’t many tanks, so that you can deal with him quickly.

Kayn Minor [4/10] You need to abuse his weakness in the early game and snowball on him before he gets one of his forms. He can assassinate you with Shadow Assassin or just outright tank your damage as Rhaast, so you need to grab a lead and use it against him as soon as possible because you’ll lose the matchup after he transforms especially into Rhast. He becomes a lot harder to deal with in the mid-game so try to shut him down before then. Suggested to go Challenging Smite with Q evolution to ensure you'll win every duel, or R evolve if you want to snowball off of ganks while he's weak early-game.

Kha'Zix Even Better Jungle Wins

Kindred Minor [4/10] Just make sure you are the one to make the first move. Be careful of her ult when she may have allies nearby to bait you, but thankfully it is useless in a 1v1 against you due to your own ult. Be careful of using your jump because you can easily be kited if you’re not careful. One of the recommended keystones for this matchup would be Phase Rush, as it’ll help against being kited and give you a lot of sticking power to shut her down early.

Lee Sin Major [7/10] Playing against Lee Sin can go either way depending on skill. If you manage to get ahead of him then you'll have no problem dueling him. However, if you are evenly matched or behind him it can be rough. Be aware of his Q, to dodge this use the same advice as dodging Elise’s cocoon by jump irregularly or juking with Void Assault, in other cases he will just ult and Q to finish you if he's ahead of you there's not much counterplay. It should be noted that you can cancel his R animation if you time it properly with your ult stealth but it's not easy to pull off consistently. This is usually a skill match-up and comes down to the early-game.

Maokai Minor [3/10] One of the simpler matchups in terms of dueling. You can easily invade him early as he won’t be able to do much if you catch him at one of his camps. Be mindful of him counter ganking since he can easily lock down you or your laner and turn the fight quickly. If you’re struggling in this matchup, try to pick up a Challenging Smite as well as tank-killing items like LDR and Cleaver.

Nidalee Minor [4/10] An easy matchup for Kha'Zix. However, getting hit by a long range spear will cause problems for you. Getting hit by a spear also reveals you while in stealth, so keep that in mind. Try to counter gank her and farm until you have an opportunity. The matchup difficulty highly depends on the skill of the Nidalee player as the skill difference with this champion specifically can vary greatly. It might be difficult to itemize against her especially if she gets ahead. As the game progresses and she builds more items the matchup may swing further into her favor so abuse her early and around level 6 if possible.

Nocturne Even [6/10] He can obliterate you if you aren't careful. He is able to spell shield your Q, which negates a lot of damage, and he’ll likely be running Lethal Tempo, which gives him a massive amount of early game dueling potential. However, you should be able to 1v1 him later on, even if he spell shields your Q simply because you should have a high amount of CDR. If he gets the jump on you, you will take a lot of damage and die quite quickly. If you choose to fight. Q evolution is a must if you plan to duel him while not ahead.

Nunu & Willump Even [6/10] This matchup can be one of the harder ones because of how difficult it is to deal with him once he has items. His gank pressure can also be a big factor due to his CC. You should invade early and look to fight him as you will win most dueling scenarios unless he gets you with the snowball knockup to proc aftershock. Be sure to ward his jungle entrances if you have pressure or gank paths to give your laners more time to react to his ganks. Items such as Black Cleaver and LDR are higher priority against Nunu as well as Q and W evolve to duel and kite him easier. If he goes predator he will be a lot weaker in this matchup outside of his ganks but if he goes aftershock he can pose a higher threat.

Olaf Even [5/10] You can fight him easily after level 6 but early game is definitely Olaf favored. He has no hard CC, but make sure not to face-tank his hard hitting auto attacks. He can be oppressive while ahead and especially in the early levels, so make sure to trade jungle camps or and farm efficiently to not fall behind. Try to utilize your Void Assault charges to its fullest by waiting in stealth for the rest of your cooldowns while he cannot auto you, and make sure to burst as quickly as possible so that he can't lifesteal back to full health during a duel.

Pantheon Minor [4/10] Can be a bit tricky to duel early on until you get level 6 due to his Q damage and inherit tankyness. When dueling him be sure to use your R to maneuver behind him around his E to maximize your damage output. One thing to be mindful of is the gank potential he has once he reaches level 6. Look to ping your laners to and path towards volatile lanes that are pushed up or fighting so that you can arrive when Panth hits 6. Itemization and Evolution order is preference but Q evo will get you an extra dueling edge.

Poppy Even [5/10] Do not stand near walls as you will always lose if you get stunned against a wall. Be careful of her W blocking your leap. You can win early in this matchup as long as you don’t get stunned and once you hit 6 you’ll have the advantage in a 1v1 scenario. If you’re struggling in this matchup look to purchase Challenging Smite and consider Black Cleaver if there are other tank threats.

Rammus Even [6/10] Relatively straightforward matchup as you have many tools in your kit to out maneuver him during counter ganks and skirmishes. Always note where he in a teamfight as he can easily lock down your carries with his engages and point-and-click taunt. He can be troublesome to kill, but it's rare that you'll want to focus him outside of 1v1 situations. If you need to deal with him frequently it's recommended to purchase Challenging Smite, Tank shredding items, and Evolve your Q early.

Rek'Sai Major [8/10] She can be quite difficult to fight before level 6. You should have a better chance against her with evolved Q, but before that just make sure to fight in isolation. Be very careful when jumping on top of a Rek’Sai, though, as she can just click you while burrowed to unburrow as soon as you’re in range so be mindful of getting knocked up and Q with evolved Q outside of her knockup radius to damage her without getting CC’d. If she’s running Hail of Blades you can get bursted so it’s recommended to not take fights unless you’re ahead or she’s on CD. If she’s running conqueror it will be easier to avoid her burst but you’ll need to be mindful of her healing. Be cautious of her early gank pressure and don’t let her get the jump on you.

Rengar Major [7/10] The ultimate rivalry. This matchup is very dependent on who gets ahead first. Just kite around with your Ultimate and Leap, using Q and W as necessary and you'll be fine. Since the rework at level 3-4 he can out-duel you, so be careful around scuttle and during invades. Evolving Q can offer you the upper hand in this matchup, but he will still be hard to burst through his W around mid/late game. It's not a bad idea to pick up executioners to minimize his W healing, depending on comp.

Sejuani Even [5/10] Similar to Zac in that she poses quite a threat in teamfights but cannot kill you, although you will have a hard time killing her yourself. Difficult to burst down due to aftershock and hard to stay on her. You'll need a lot of anti-tank items such as Lord Dominiks Regard, Black Cleaver, stacking armor penetration, or a combination in order to kill her.

Shaco Major [7/10] The amount of times a Shaco can steal your buffs is too great to count. He can stop your isolation damage with his ult and boxes and can assassinate you if he gets the jump on you. Ward your jungle often and try to know his position at all times. Take your buffs as soon as they come up, because you are likely to lose one of them on your first clear depending on where he starts. One of the better strategies for dealing with Shaco is to just ignore him completely and focus on other targets/objectives.

Shyvana Even [6/10] (AP) Make sure you don’t let her get free dragons and play around it for early-game and mid-game with your pathing, warding and scuttle control. You're going to have a hard time once she gets Runic Echos and her ultimate. She is able to match your burst if she gets multiple flame breath's onto you, especially in the mid game. Keep in mind while she cannot gank effectively on her own early on, but her counter ganks can be deadly. Try and kite her with Void Assault as much as possible. Abuse her early-game by dueling her pre 6 and before her jungle item, or by trying to snowball lanes while she's still in early game farming-mode.

Skarner Even [5/10] Skarner can be real trouble for you as he has one of the most efficient clear times for junglers and his early gank pressure can be insane. Add that to having a game-changing ultimate that can easily punish you or an ally who's mispositioned and you'll be regretting not shutting him down early. Skarner can be abused earlygame in 1v1 scenarios if he misses his stun on you but be mindful when fighting in his spire zones. We suggest that you build a QSS if you're being focused, or pick up an Edge of Night as a situational item instead.

Sylas Minor [4/10] Can be relatively easy to deal with so long as he does not get fed. You should be able to win pre-6 and post-6 so long as you dodge his E and he won't be able to burst you quick enough and outdamage you in extended fights. If you're struggling considering picking up an executioner's calling to reduce his healing and evolving Q for extra dueling potential.

Taliyah Minor [3/10] Due to her fast earlygame clear she will be on the map a bit sooner than you and often looking to make an early play so look to punish her and secure vision to inform your team so they can react accordingly. This is a matchup where you can jump on her early and win in most cases as long as you combo properly. You should gain a larger advantage as the game progresses as Kha’Zix will usually outscale. Consider taking Phase Rush to provide more sticking power as you can be kited otherwise if you can’t burst her.

Trundle Even [6/10] Can be difficult to duel in the early levels but the matchup is evened after level 6. Don’t fight him unless you have Void Assault and pick up Red Smite for a better chance at dueling, or if he gets ahead of you. Q evolve will give a better chance but you can still kill him with R evolve and Red Smite if you get all your passive procs off. Can become unkillable if he gets items over you so be careful of letting him get ahead.

Udyr Major [8/10] Relatively hard to outplay, but, generally, as long as you're not behind in kills you can duel him with Duskblade and Void Assault. You'll need Q evolve first to have a chance when it comes to dueling him otherwise try to not take many 1v1s. Don't be afraid to get both ult procs off when fighting him. The other way he can counter you outside of dueling is through split-pushing and being able to build tanky earlier while still dealing damage. Make sure looking for counter gank opportunities since aside from Bear Stance and some slight tankiness from Turtle Stance, he doesn't have much to offer in terms of ganking power.

Vi Minor [4/10] Can be difficult depending on her build and how far ahead she gets earlygame. If she gets an item advantage over you then she can just ult you at any point and you’re basically dead. If the matchup is even or you’re ahead you should win handedly every single fight so long as you have Void Assault. Be careful of her Trinity Force powerspike if she decides to build that and try to invade early as you have a lot more 1v1 power. Don’t forget her ult as you can get picked off and die even in some 1v1 scenarios if she’s ahead. If you do get ulted, pull her into your team and as far away from hers as possible to ensure you’ll at least trade. If she’s going Aftershock the matchup can be harder to win as you can’t burst her as easily so try not to trade after it proc’s unless you’re ahead. It’s recommended to evolve Q to have the best chance to 1v1 but it’s up to your preference.

Volibear Minor [4/10] A bit tricky, especially in the early game. He will out-sustain you in fights during the early game, and if you face-tank his ultimate you will die very fast. Try to play around with him as much as possible with Void Assault. That way you can avoid the majority of his ultimate. Remember to play around his passive and build anti-tank items to have a chance to duel him.

Warwick Even [6/10] Can be difficult for Kha'Zix in the early levels if you’re not playing around his fear. Try to only fight him if he’s isolated as you might not be able to burst him otherwise. He will heal a lot of your damage up and can kill you quickly if you’re not careful as well. Evolving Q is a must when fighting him and evolving W will help in terms of kiting him.

Xin Zhao Even [5/10] Can be one of the harder matchups depending on his build, but assuming he is going for Trinity Force + Steraks + Tank with Phase Rush then you'll find this matchup to be one of the harder ones especially for dueling. You can abuse him at early levels as Kha'Zix after level 3 but one of his key weaknesses is his one-dimensional playstyles where once he goes in, it's easily telegraphed. You can use this to your advantage by baiting him to going in on you and ulting out while teammates are nearby to assist, or simply ult passed him onto his backline. It's recommended to purchase red smite and evolve Q and/or R if you want any success dueling him.
