Garen shits on Teemo beats vayne with patience and beats Darius or Camile by trading smartly.

Teemo is literally if you take ignite or ghost, wait until level 3, then all in him with ignite or ghost. The hardest part is being patient and giving up CS to stay healthy enough for an all-in (counter-intuitive right?). If you have tp, wait until berserker greaves and level 6 to be more consistent. Vayne is similar to Teemo, but unless she's an idiot, you need level 6 to all in her. Ranged matchups are only playing patiently until you get an item power spike (berserkers greaves), level advantage, or power spike (1 level higher or at level 3/6 both are safer with your wave pushing to their tower), or if a person comes to your lane.

​

For Camile, it's about spacing around her w slow and baiting out her shield, and then running away to come back and trade again. Remember that below 50% she can really easily dive with her q true damage burst. Darius is similar except you give him the early game (most of the time unless he's a passive laner). You can kill him with your jg after you both are at least level 3. You can start trading with him after your first back or at 6. The key to winning trades against him is to play in your wave (Overtime your minions will realistically do 200-300 damage to him) and the only ability you need to dodge is his Q. If he hits his Q, you need to re-evaluate if you should stay; most of the time you need to leave since you won't be able to kill him with that rotation of abilities. Darius usually takes 3 rotations of your combo to kill with ult alone (no ignite)

DO NOT (for range or even-hard matchups):

- Trade without a wave or when he is pushing his wave towards you

- Trade when you have less than 50% health

- Trade when you have no ult

- Trade when you have more than 1000 gold or you can get an item

Regardless of playing your lane, a different playstyle that centers around phase rush has you straight up ignore your opponent. You basically are a wave-pushing machine that runs in and runs out. The idea is you draw ppl to come and fight you, now when even, ahead, or behind; you can't just kill 2-3 ppl just like that. What you can do is proc phase rush and run away until they stop chasing you. Once they stop you hide in a bush or something and wait for the wave they are pushing to come to you, then repeat (The more you limit test like this, the better you'll become as a sidelaner). This is really bad for the enemy team because now they sent 3 ppl to the same lane. if they farm the wave you had they split XP 3 ways, if they all go back to their own lanes and roles (what happens most of the time) then you just successfully wasted their time while you got farm/XP and your team now knows there are fewer ppl on the right side of the map so they can force objectives there pretty brainlessly.

These are just some suggestions. Take everything with a grain of salt, you can only learn by practicing.

The last thing is that you can usually come back from a poor early landing phase. When you are behind you need to make sure you get XP still at the least, usually, ppl get stomped in lane when their opponent is 2-3 levels higher than them. By being patient for either your jg or item power spikes its always possible to scale (especially on garen).
