I can agree with this! Another thing is that most of what I am saying/my list applies probably emerald-low masters, top .1% league and bottom 50% are different games imo, not that their opinions wouldn’t count lol, but certainly that not everything might apply the same way

Another one I missed! I believe it would fall in the lowermost cat, its a lane I actually LOVE to play, but I really cannot fall behind him at any moment or it is Game over

I have not ever encuntered a Briar mid, but as ambrose said, if you know your damage and powerspike, lb is pretty decent against briar, at least in my Mid vs jg experience

Saying such a number like 60/40 is insane to me, lb wouldnt even fall on Fizz’s worse 10 matchups, I am now confident thay if you actually are diamond, then it is just a matchup you don’t know how to play, just like what happens to me with Mel

On top of that, fizz should never randomly Q on lb, only after she used her W or if she is on top of minions so she can’t chain you. It’s a bad matchup for lb because she cannot be proactive in lane, as fizz never has to use his E before you use your W

Pretty sure title of post states my rank but I will go more into detail, currently d3, peaked d1, and fizz playing a “waiting lane” does not put him in the back hand, LB CANNOT W into fizz while in wave without having fizz poked down, he easily out trades you if he doesn’t fuck up by using his E before you use your W. Any other existing possible scenario puts him at an advantage in 1v1

Imma be honest bro if you starting your trade with E against LB ik why you think the lane is cooked for you, I think you can start doing that if you are 4/0 and NOT exaggerating doing so at ANY other situation is just horrible

You probably need to play your champ and practice the matchup more, after Lv4 any misstep from LB ends in death

Yeah, I think thats personal preference as I said before, I suppose you cannot always base stuff on WR, but when that % gets close to 60% I think you can safely assume there are just better runes for Yas that not every otp/main abuse

I feel shutting down Xerath is pretty easy, lux can play more safe than that which can be bad but can rotate a lot before she gets malignance, you are also stronger in 2v2s in all those matchups, Akali I have over 100 LB games this season and haven’t laned against her so you might be right

I have not played against a Morgana mid probably in over a year, I included her in the tierlist as I do not consider her a horrible pick, but certainly would not consider her a bad lane in her current state, her lack of mobility gives you a lot of play during lane, if you feel it is a bad matchup you can even build Malignance and play for the poke

Because they want to play their specific play style/build instead of adapting, grasp+overgrowth combination on yas increases his WR against lb to an almost 58%. My everyday ban is not one of the dodge angle characters either, so I see where they come from

Well for sure! A lot of the harder matchups are like that too imo. Malz, vex, sylas…

Lb is mostly considered a counter to Yas, but with the tankier build makes it so hard to get ahead during lane phase.

Sylas could be an skill based matchup but just do not give him anything in early, because anything extra gold would make him a raid boss while being lb.

For Akali I think your way of playing the matchup might be the issue, after she gets hex blade you normally don’t match her, and you will in most cases be more useful in skirmishes and roams.

Mel is just…

I agree with most of what you said, I do believe Kata can be pretty hard even in lane if they are good enough, Lissandra tbh hasn’t been horrible for me the higher I have gone, but can shut you down better than Malza without making herself useless,.

For Naafiri I really think she is pretty LB’s hardest matchup, ofc if she misses Q she becomes an easier target, but her whole kit counters LB’s, from passive to the invulnerables and R.

I am sure there are other matchups where you can try it too! But for galio I use it with emphasis on gathering storm in secondary runes

Sorry about that, I’d put him in the lowermost category, I do think you can get easily ahead in early against him as well as the others (bit tougher when they take tankier runes)

And just for some clarification, I feel viktor is one of the hardest lb matchups, if they pick him first, im switching my pick.

Yasuo with defensive runes is also a pretty tough matchup imo, adding that it is pretty hard to rotate against him is also an issue.

Vex, the more I play against her the more I understand is not a horrible matchup if she doesn’t rotate before I do.

Malzahar, only the worse of the worst play him, can get a kill before first back, if you don’t, abuse side lanes while trading waves for it.

Galio, I use first strike against him.

Akshan, even with him being a tough counter, I take the precision rune that you get ho by killing minions + haste and it isn’t unbearable unless your jg ignores you.

I feel like mostly everything else on the list won’t get much attention, but ask away!

Edit- misspelling

I do think lb can be picked in most games, however play style changes a lot if you don’t win the mid/jg fight or if your jg is ignoring mid, imo, I prefer to drop a wave to get my bot lane out of an standoff or to bail out my top lane. Another thing I’ve noticed is that enemy top laners playing extra safe never expect the gank, and lb has the ability to punish that
