TIP 1: Gwen is generally weak early (lvl 1-3). Don't take too much damage, then start trading after level 3.
TIP 2: You're incredibly strong with Q-stacks, so you should be looking to maintain stacks at all times
TIP 3: Freeze near your tower to set up easy ganks or solo kills in the extended lane.
TIP 4: Be cautious when the enemy has a long lane, since Gwen doesn't really have an escape with ignite
TIP 5: Look for solo kills when you have Ignite and Q-stacks
TIP 6: You should be able to consistently solo kill most toplaners when you hit level-6
TIP 7: Mid-game, play sidelane and accelerate yourself through tower gold.
TIP 8: When you have 2-3 items, play for teamfight flanks. If you can't get a flank, just play off your teams CC instead of engaging yourself.
You can use ( Q > E ), or ( E > Q ) This is your bread and butter engage combo Extends R distance
Main page My page
Riftmaker: Unfortunely rift is only good as a first item nowadays. The hp and healing helps get you through a lot of tough lanes.
1ST ITEM Nashors: This is a great first item if you 1. (Are already winning lane) or 2 (Going to get multiple grubs). nash really helps you snowball the
game, but you need to play much safer, since you have no defensive stats.
Nash: If you don't build it first item, make sure to pick it up now.
2ND ITEM Shadow: This is probably the best item in the game on Gwen currently. The insane damage amp you get
when targets are low, allows you surprise a lot of people with your damage. You can get this second or third.
Void: You will always be buying void. It doesn't matter if they don't have any MR; this item got buffed in patch
14.19, which made it completely broken.
3RD ITEM Deathcap: This is a bit worse third, just because you have to spend so much money. With that said, if you can
manage to get a one-back 3600 deathcap buy, you should for sure buy this third.
Shadow: If you don't have it already, pick it up now.
Lich bane: This item is fine, I'm personally not the biggest fan, but it can be fun when you're ahead.
Mejai's: Only upgrade your dark seal after you finish death cap AND you have more then 6 stacks.
4TH ITEM Hourglass: Really game dependent item. Buy this when they have heavy ad, or a key ability you need to
dodge like zed R.
banshee's veil: is very bad in 99.99% of games. Most of the time, even if you need to block a key ability, like
5TH ITEM Blitz Q or Syndra R, you can just use W.
Steelcaps: Buy these when they have heavy AD
Ionians: Very good all around boot, if they don't have heavy AD/AP
BOOTS Sorcs: Highest damage boots obviously, but most of the time you don't need the extra pen.
Void boots: INSANE tempo in the mid-game (These are my dark tech)
Mercs: These got nerfs a lot, so try avoid using them unless they have hard CC like liss or skarner

an item/level advantage.
- When you are pushing into him, if he long range Q's you, you can W to block the damage and then E > Q4
since he won't be able to pick up the axe
- One of the most essential things in this matchup is movement. If you could make him waste his Q, you'll have
a good opportunity for a trade/all-in
- He gets more Attack speed and Lifesteal as he gets lower
- Practice inconsistent movement and try to read his gameplay patterns.
- When you all in him, try to W atleast one of his Q's
Olaf - When you fight him, kite away from his axes. A lot of his early-game damage comes from his Q.
- If he doesn't pick up his Axe, you can go for a kill.
- Abuse him if he long range Q's. Olaf will be much weaker with his Q on cooldown
- If he picks it up, just run away since you can create enough distance to run
- add more
- You should be able to look for an all-in after you have a blasting wand. After this point, you will have enough
damage to eat through his base healing/Doran's shield.
- You have to set up all-ins by slowly poking him down because he has a much better all-in compared to
Gwen
- Play for sidelane after 2-3 items. He can't contest you after this point.
- You can also just play for sidelane prio and then rotate for easy 5v4 team fights (this works especially well
if he doesn't have TP)
- Avoid his Q poke if you take too much damage for free.
- You can W his Q/W poke and then E>Q4; this is a solid trade pattern, but it's situational. If you do this,
be sure the jungle isn't topside. - Buffer your Q/R into his W auto, and you can buffer into his E knock-up and his R2.
- Ornn has really obvious buffer timers. Just always use your abilities right before you get CC'd!
- Use E to dodge his W damage, or you can save it for his E knock up, but you should be able to walk away
from his pillar/wall 99% of the time -obviously you can use W to immune his R. Just be careful whenever he has flash because he can flash R2 > full
ORNN - Most of the time, I'll use my E to dodge his W damage so that it doesn't apply the brittle proc combo
- Don't dash into a wall or pillar
- He can hide his E animation if he casts it during W so keep this in mind if there is terrain near you
- You will have a big window to punish him if he E's away; it has a 16-second cooldown early in the game.
- His W only applies brittle at the last second, so try to E/walk out if possible
- After 2 items, the Ornn can't hold you in the sidelane. Because of that, The Ornn's win-con will be playing
team fights.
- Leverage this advantage to take easy T1-3s
- Play for team fight if an objective is coming up (Soul/third drake) or if you take all the sidelane turrets
- Don't walk near him without E, especially once he gets 6, as his full combo can often kill you from 70%HP
- Don't ever stand next to a wall or pillar unless you are 100% sure you can kill him
- Avoid letting him brittle auto you!
- If the Ornn is good, he beats you early game, so just be patient and scale up
done
- Play safe and farm minions with Q
- Avoid his passive-stacked Q's
- He can easily kill you at level 2 with ignite
- Once you hit level 3, you can start taking short ( W > Q4 > E ) trades.
- Use this when you're slow pushing into him. Otherwise, he can extend the trade which is dangerous
- If he looks like he's about to use his empowered Q, then you can use W to dodge it and then look for a trade.
- When he uses his empowered W, instantly E backward to avoid the passive autos
- Rush steel caps
- You are much stronger at level 6 if he doesn't have ignite.
- Don't stack your Q4 and R since he can always use E
- His Q can easily be sidestepped
Panth - Remember to ping your mid when he hits level 6
- Play safe until first item
- Mid-game (2-3 items), you almost always beat him unless you're down 3k gold.
- Ping when he goes out of vision because of his R

- You can also time this so that you initiate a trade as you dodge the passive.
- You can W > E > Q4 for a nice trade
- Trade when she doesn't have Q
- Poppy will try to dodge your Q4 with her E, but she can't cast W while in the E animation, so just follow with
your E dash
- Step on her passive when possible
- Always kite away from walls when fighting her
- She has incredible dive, so try not to trade when your wave is about to crash
Poppy
- At level 6, you won't ever have kill pressure unless you dodge hit ultimate
- You are much stronger at level 6, so you can play to chunk him with R
- Late-game (4-5 items), you won't ever lose to her 1v1, which means you can easily pressure side lane
done
- Play for a cheater recall

- Always trade back when he Q's you
RENEKT - Buffer your Q into his W. - He gets more fury when he is low
- Also, buffer your W into his stun - A lot stronger when he has Red Bar ( fury )
ON - Try to bait his Q by standing on the outside of his range - Dont let his HP bar bait you, his R+Q with fury can heal him up to 700 in a fight
SKill - After level 6, you can kill him if you have some AP (Blasting wand/Double amp tome)
- Stack your Q4 on the wave, and look for short trades.
- You can rush tabis in this matchup very early and sheen, this makes it so he cant one shot you with his combo and
you can run him down the lane
5/10 - You can look to kill him when he's 60-80% HP. - Only Counterstrike when he has more then 50% fury
- Mid-game (2-3 items), he won't be able to fight you in the side lane.

done
- Play safe early, and give up CS to not get chunked
- Get Q stacks after he jumps on a minion
- Start trading when you have level 3
-
Rengar - Try to freeze when possible
- If he uses his orange fury bar on wave, you can look for a trade
-
-
Try not to ward the bushes since he can instantly kill + can use them as a free jump
Rush tabi's if you're struggling, otherwise just rush divine and bork
Hard - When he leaps onto a minion to CS, you can take a short E trade (AA > W > E and Q away if needed) - You can Q away right before bola hits and you will contiune the jump
- Rengar is very easy to dive if he has 0 stacks - Rengar is much stronger in bushes, so unless you are ahead, try to bring the fights in open space
9/10 "- Fighting when he has full fury - If you don't let him snowball, you will absolutely destroy him at 2 items
- Walking up without E
- Letting him dodge your stun with minion jumps

"
done
- Don't get cheesed and walk to the wave with your minions.
- You beat him if he fights inside your wave

- If he does walk up, take a short trade with him, but don't leave your wave
- You should always hit level 2 first
- If he doesn't respect you, go for an E > Q4 trade. If he trades back, exhaust him and continue to fight.

to die for tempo
- Do not fight on when she's slow pushing into you.
- Farm whatever CS you can with Q, but avoid getting chunked.
- Look to freeze when near your tower

into her W stun.
Riven - Be careful of her E dash since it can easily dodge your damage.
Hard - When you hit level 6, you both have kill pressure. It just depends on who has an HP advantage.
- You can buffer your Q4 into her Q3 knock-up, but it's inconsistent.
- Predict when she's looking to W and try to buffer your Q into it
8/10 - If she's around 70-80% HP, you can look to all-in her. Just be patient with your R rotation since she has a
lot of dashes.
- She has good dive setup, so don't be afraid to reset if you take a few poor trades.
- Mid-game (2-3 items): You have to hit everything to kill her. I would suggest continuing to play passive and
scale into the late-game
- You can look to fight her if you're ahead or push waves and rotate to your team
- When you're behind, catch waves and TP if the riven rotates to your team
- If you don't have TP, just match riven
done

- Be ready to Dash back to dodge his E
- Position away from his Q drag through - Stay in lane to prevent him from having early dagger position
Shen - Kite out his early passive shield, then trade after it falls off

Easy - Keep him under tower after level 6 so he can't use R to help his team. this will make the matchup significantly easier

- Buffering your Q/R is incredibly important in this matchup
- This is especially important after level 6 because of well sion can set up the gank
- His Q becomes a knock-up after 1 second
- After getting hit by his E, you can dash away or use W to dodge his fully charged Q
- You might struggle with buffering his R, but with some practice, you can use the sound Q to instantly react

- Be careful of his R when you're near his tower. He can easily 100 to 0 you by kidnapping you under tower
- If he eats you, your Q will still go off while inside him
- If he gets 2+ stacks on his passive, then use E to get away from him
- If he has kill pressure if he eats you near his tower, you need to be extremely cautious of this
- Late-game (2-3 items): You can play side lane or team fight.
- You won't struggle to fight him, but you will just need to watch out for the enemy JG since Tahm's gank

done
- You cannot contest him level 1. You lose to all combinations of summs, even with full Q stacks XD
- Get whatever CS you can with Q, but it's important that you don't get chunked on the early waves.
- Your best trade window will be when you're slow-pushing waves into him. REWRITE DOGSHITTTT - Good 3-4 wave crashes are the most important thing in this matchup. Having an item advantage will help to eat
- It's best to avoid E>Q4ing into him because he can kite you with his empowered R REWRITE DOGSHITTTT through a lot of his early game tankiness
- Avoid fighting him if he has his red bar, his damage/shielding is too much to handle. So try baiting it out by taking short trades.
- Always buffer your (Q) into his (E) stun
- If he does use an awakened ability, you will have a large window afterwards to punish him.

He relies heavily on sums, so if an opportunity presents itself always take it

YONE SKILL 7/10
YONE FAVORED

- Control the first wave. You beat him level 1 if you play inside your wave. Don't just tank all of his autos.
- You have to space just outside his Q range. If he misses Q, use that as an opportunity to stack Q/Trade

reset off and stop his crash, you will have an opportunity to look for a solo kill

- You can (W) his E and then dash forward for a small trade. He can never win a fight against you if you can - Keep track of his graves (When Yorick kills a minion with his (Q), it will spawn a grave which allows him to raise a

you won't take any damage. - The only way you will struggle in this matchup is if you E onto him when he has cage and full ghouls
