Camille Guide

By: KnicNicks
(Will try to keep this updated decadely)
About me
I currently play for Texas Tech University as their Varsity level top laner.

I’m looking to better myself at League of Legends on the daily. My account names
are KnicNicks, KnicNacks,and KnicNocks

I am currently sitting at Diamond 3 100 LP as of 05/28/2018. My solo queue and

flex queue stats for Camille are abysmal because I like to experiment with a lot of
different runes and also because I have have the tendency to hard int (xd), but my
competitive Camille playstyle is certainly different and one to be feared (hopefully).

Check out my YouTube and plays.tv channel for any spicy plays:

Moving Forward...
You may disagree with anything I recommend within this Camille Guide, but that’s
ok. I’m only trying to help players learn how to play Camille. I encourage an open
playstyle by testing out all rune choices even if you don’t believe it is the right thing
to do. I will leave all the OP.GG’s at the bottom of other Camille players I have
gathered either research or knowledge/coaching from. Especially the Kleptomancy
Camille player because I can’t wait for the amount of messages saying that I’m
retarded for running Kleptomancy on Camille. If you’re an experienced Camille
player who believes they know better than I do in most aspects, then why are you
here?

Starting Skills > >
I almost always start W, then go into either E or Q depending on the situation.

You should save your skills for when you need them though. If we’re invading the
enemy jungle then I like to take E if I think we can kill a caught out enemy.

Sometimes I save my level up point in lane even until I’m level 2 if the enemy
doesn’t give me an opportunity to W so than I can all in them level 2 with E Q.
Allorim does a great job of that in this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxCrFy5ov8E

This video is amazing for learning combos. However one combo that I use very
often isn’t in this video. I called it the Quick Trade. You simply make use of your
minions in lane to guarantee that the 2nd part of the Q hits for true damage.

First Q a minion, then E into the enemy, Auto attack, Q them for the true damage,
Tiamat cancel the Q animation, then as you’re running away W them. If done
correctly, they shouldn’t be able to damage you at all because of your passive
shield and your E stun. Master this combo and you will be an amazing Camille!

Champion Matchups: Aatrox (Easy - Medium)
Generally you want to hit level 2 ASAP and go for a quick trade.

Try and only engage if his Q is down, careful not to E while his W
duration is almost over because you can get pulled back in
mid-hook animation.

Try to rush tiamat and keep the wave pushed, if you die early to
him just try to turtle out and ward for dives.

Once you get Trinity force and Ravenous Hydra you should be
able to 1v1 this guy no problem.
Runes against Aatrox
Champion Matchups: Akali (Medium - Hard)
New Akali is pretty annoying to deal with once she gets gunblade,
but she’s abusable in the early game if you run comet.

I recommend getting phage first back just to get some health to

prevent her from bursting you.

Either put 3 points into W, then max E, or just flat out max W. Do
what you need to survive later on. Just focus on getting an early
lead if possible. Remember she can tower dive you with Shroud
pretty easily so don’t stay if you’re low. Look for roams and
playmaking, she can’t split push well.
Runes against Akali
Champion Matchups: Cho’Gath (Medium - Hard)
This champ counters bad Camille players extremely hard. A smart
Camille will only trade with him when necessary because this guy
shits on you until late.

I recommend running either Comet or Kleptomancy or PTA

You can try to fight him if you hit level 2 first, but after level 6, I
wouldn’t bother trying to trade until either a jungler is ganking or
you have Trinity force with either Hydra complete depending on
your rune choice.

If you control your waves well, you can just keep him pushed and
go for roams.
Runes against Cho’Gath

Consider running
Conqueror!

Consider Taste of Blood to

choose to go Domination.
Champion Matchups: Darius (Medium - Hard)
Like most matchups against other champions, Darius just shits on
everyone early game until you eventually outscale him.

Don’t bother trading at all, don’t bother walking forward for CS,
don’t try to W him because his E range is similar to your W range.

Only go in if you have a jungler to gank, you win almost every

time once you get Trinity Force and Ravenous Hydra.

Generally if you get the opportunity after he catches you out, E

into him to dodge his Q then use your Q to get movement speed
to run away.

Champion Matchups: Dr. Mundo (Medium)
This guy is exactly the same as Cho’Gath except if he ever gets
behind it’s pretty rough.

If you ever get ahead through jungle ganks, then don’t hesitate to
shit on this guy once you get Trinity Force. Buy an early
executioners if you have spare gold after your Trinity Force, but
don’t rush it everytime.

Don’t bother trading, wait for a gank, Q max does wonders to his
HP. You hard outscale.

I go for Comet and PTA every time, but I can see Kleptomancy
working against him.

Champion Matchups: Fiora (Hard)
Fiora is a tricky one. I’ve talked to many high elo players
regarding this matchup and they all agree that this matchup sucks
for Camille. You can sort of win early game, but once you’re level
6 it’s really hard to duel her. Experienced players try to R her Q.

Weeknd has a great champion matchup guide on Fiora:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYKQcyFmN50

Try and survive the early and mid game, eventually your 1000
damage Q out true damages her vitals. Only E into Fiora if you
have a massive advantage or if you think she doesn’t have the
reaction time to Riposte. If she has R it’s extremely risky to E in.
Runes against Fiora

W after she Q’s and

look to poke her before
every engage.
Champion Matchups: Gangplank (Medium - Hard)
This is one of my favorite skill matchups to play. Gangplank
players are unique compared to other champions, they have a
variety of playstyles and can really hard screw Camille over if they
run Grasp of the Undying.

Any rune is possible to run, any max order is possible, have fun
experimenting in normals if possible. I personally prefer PTA with
E max so that you can kill his barrels with ATK speed.

The standard rune page that people use is Arcane Comet, but you
can do whatever you feel is right.
Runes against Gangplank

Consider taking Scorch for

early game kill pressure!

Consider Taste of Blood to help

to go Domination secondary.
Champion Matchups: Garen (Medium)
As weird as it sounds, this guy is extremely annoying to deal with.
Any higher elo player is gonna be running ignite into you so he
can deal half your health as true damage under your own tower
as he kills you. It’s pretty much another Darius, just farm it out.

Fun fact: The rune Cut Down works from level 1 against Garen
because he starts off with so much base health.

I would run PTA or Kleptomancy and look to farm it out.

Sometimes I consider running Comet and maxing W against him
so that he can’t run you down and you stay out of his ultimate
death threshold if you do this. It’s certainly a fun way to play,
kinda like playing as E max Sion.
Runes against Garen Consider taking

Champion Matchups: Gnar (Easy - Medium)
Camille is the go-to counter pick for competitive play. Camille
destroys Gnar if she ever gets ahead which is the hardest part
about this matchup. If your jungler never ganks then getting
ahead is pretty rough if they’re an experienced Gnar player.

I would E max with Doran’s shield unless you’re confident your

jungler will gank, then you can get away with Doran’s blade.

I usually just go Comet and poke with W and scorch, then use E
to all in him. Careful for his rage bar! Also if you miss your E, it
can cost your life because you lose the attack speed buff and
stun.
Runes against Gnar

Consider taking Consider Taste of Blood to

Scorch for early help with survivability if you
game kill pressure! choose to go Domination.
Champion Matchups: Heimerdinger (Easy)
To be honest, I haven’t seen this champ played top lane at all
lately. You just have to be careful for his early game and his E’s.
Other than that, it should be an easy matchup.

Start Doran’s Shield and E max.

I would run Comet or PTA into Heimerdinger. He’s super squishy.

Not really much to say besides don’t get too cocky. He can 1 shot
you if you E into the middle of 3 of his turrets with his E W combo.
Runes against Heimerdinger

Consider taking
Scorch for early
game kill
pressure!
Champion Matchups: Illaoi (Medium)
Illaoi is just another Darius. Look to fight her later in the game
once you have scaled up a bit. Don’t bother fighting her early
unless she’s a potato and misses every E. Once she throws her E
out then she is useless for a pretty big time frame. Look to trade
when she misses it. However if she’s even moderately bigger
than you, she can kill using just R W Q after you E in. Better safe
than sorry!

You can either Q max and play it smart of when to engage. Or

you can spam W to match her Q and E spam. You should be able
to hit your W more often than her abilities since yours is much
bigger. Comet or PTA are the choices here, Kleptomancy is
doable.
Runes against Illaoi

Consider running
Conqueror!

Consider Taste of Blood to help with

survivability if you choose to go Domination.
(It’s really good with W max against Illaoi)
Champion Matchups: Irelia (Easy)
A lot of people think Irelia is broken in her current state, but as
Camille there is nothing to be afraid of as long as you dodge her
E and don’t get early game cheesed by her Ionian Fervor.

In this matchup you should look to just let her push into you if she
gets to the wave first, but feel free to push into her if you make it
there first. Watchout for when she has her Ionian Fervor stacks
maxed out and other than that it should be a piece of cake.

E max into her and you can run either PTA or Conqueror (I
personally recommend PTA).
Runes against Irelia

Consider running
Conqueror!
Champion Matchups: Jax (Hard)
Fuck this champ. This is arguably the most irritating matchup to
fight against as Camille. Never E into jax unless he already
burned his E, you can also displace him far enough after his E
started to where it doesn’t stun you. If you W him while in the
middle of the lane then he can just all in you with Q AA W and you
can’t trade back because of his E. Max E.

Weeknd has a great champion guide for this matchup:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnVZk_eApmc

Push the lead if you ever get the chance. I just look to roam a lot
and make plays with my Teleport or Jungler around the map.
Careful for giving up first tower though if you plan to do this.
Runes against Jax

Consider running
Conqueror!

Consider Taste of Blood to

Champion Matchups: Jayce (Medium - Hard)
Many pros abuse this champion in the top lane. He has an insane
early game, mid game, and that sometimes snowballs to late
game if you can ever get there. Don’t bother fighting him early
game, he can dumpster you.

I honestly just wait for a jungler to gank everytime because most

Jayce players overextend without warding (Khan for example).

I would go for Comet with Resolve in this matchup. The PTA won’t
help with your trading since the trades are so short when he
eventually E’s you away. Either Q or E max are both viable, W
max is possible, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
Runes against Jayce

Champion Matchups: Kayle (Easy)
Players playing Kayle are looking to scale just like Nasus players.
Try and freeze the lane near your tower then all in them any
chance you can get within the early to mid game. Even late game
shouldn’t be a problem.

In this matchup I run either Comet or PTA and go for early kills.
It’s extremely easy to dive Kayle pre-6. You probably won’t fight
this champion that much the higher you go in ranking.

Do either Q or E max, your choice depending on how you feel.

Runes against Kayle

Consider taking
Scorch for early

Champion Matchups: Kennen (Easy)
Kennen can be irritating, but he’s not exactly meta ever since
Season 8 hit. Just be careful for his early poke and you can all in
him once you get Sheen.

Start Doran’s shield if you want. If you’re unsure how to fight him,
just wait for your jungler to come then kill him, he’s pretty squishy
and as long as you stay even with him, then he will never get out
of hand.

Run Comet or PTA into him, pretty easy to kill in my opinion. Q

and E max are both viable.
Runes against Kennen

Consider taking
Scorch for early

Champion Matchups: Kled (Medium)
Kled players don’t act like it, but secretly they’re just Darius in
another body. Be careful early game. He has a lot of kill pressure
early to mid game, but like all other Darius clones, he falls off.

I would go any rune into him. It would really depend on how high
elo I am. For example, if I were near Diamond 2 and above then I
would run Aftershock because all of the high elo Kled players love
to cheese the early game either with ignite or lethality.

Q or E max are both fine into Kled. I would personally recommend

Q, but there are a lot of Camille's who max E into Kled.
Runes against Kled

Consider running
Conqueror!

Consider taking
Scorch for early

Champion Matchups: Lissandra (Easy)
Lissandra is essentially just the same as Kennen right now until
she gets buffs. She can be oppressive in lane, but in this current
meta boneplate is just cucking her.

I would recommend any one of the maxes. They’re all pretty good
into Lissandra. You can W max into her because her abilities are
all pretty close ranged.

Doran’s shield start if you want, along with either PTA or Comet.
Runes against Kennen

Consider taking
Scorch for early
game kill
pressure!
Champion Matchups: Lucian (Easy - Medium)
This kind of depends on your elo whether or not it’s some kid just
trying to copy Huni or actually someone decent at Lucian top with
PTA or Aery. As long as you don’t die early you destroy Lucian
mid to late game.

Treat this the same as a Jayce matchup early because he does a

surprising amount of damage.

I recommend E max, but you can do Q if you want. I would run

Comet to go along with the E max for good damage, but PTA is a
good option too.
Runes against Lucian

Consider taking Consider Taste of Blood to

Scorch for early help with survivability if you
game kill pressure! choose to go Domination.
Champion Matchups: Malphite (Medium)
So literally everyone complains to me about this matchup and it
leads to them assuming that Malphite is a busted champion.
Honestly I would mark this champion down as easy because of
one simple trick.

MAX W. So many people think that they are able to fight Malphite
because Camille does so much true damage. But early to mid
game Camille isn’t doing that much true damage. Maxing W
completely destroys Malphite’s passive as well as heals all the
poke damage from those Comet malphites. Don’t bother trying to
use E to trade after he gets Bami’s Cinder with a cloth. You have
a good amount of kill pressure early too.
Runes against Malphite

W Max? hMMM (pls do it stop

complaining about Malphite)

Consider Taste of Blood to

help with survivability if you
choose to go Domination.
Champion Matchups: Maokai (Medium)
After maining this champ for a year and a half I became Rank #8
Maokai in NA. This champ is a lot stronger than most people
think. He has a lot of early to mid game kill pressure on lanes.

Luckily Camille outscales almost everyone in the game!

Just Q max into Maokai and watchout for his early game. Also
watchout for when you W him because his W has around the
same range so he can dodge your W then get a good trade off.
Run either Comet, PTA, or Kleptomancy and look to scale.

Fun fact: When you E into Maokai and he W’s you, he will still get
hit by the E stun and give you ATK speed!
Runes against Maokai

Consider running
Conqueror!
Champion Matchups: Mordekaiser (Easy)
So most people don’t even understand what this champ does. Do
yourself a favor and go into a custom game and full read his
abilities then try them out. Mordekaiser has a lot of hidden and
unexpected damage with his 3rd Q. However Camille is a fast gurl
and she should never get hit with the 3rd Q.

You can do all max’s into Mordekaiser, he’s just as squishy as

Heimerdinger if he has no passive bar stacked. I would run Comet
or PTA into him. Look to kill him, but try and dodge his E. If ever
gets ahead don’t fight him at all. Look to scale and fight once you
get Trinity Force and Ravenous Hydra.
Runes against Mordekaiser

Consider taking
Scorch for early
game kill
pressure!
Champion Matchups: Nasus (Medium)
A lot of Nasus’ I see run either Aery or Kleptomancy. They’re
extremely tanky, but they still have a weak early game and you do
tons of true damage late game. Try to kill him early, but if you fail
to, then you put yourself behind due to all the Kleptomancy stuff
you just gave him. It’s kind of 50/50 whether or not you outscale
him depending on other factors of the game such as Dragon. Do
your best to make plays around the map. Nasus has little to no
mobility.

Q max and run either Comet, PTA, or Kleptomancy to match his

and try to outscale faster.
Runes against Nasus

Consider running
Conqueror!
Champion Matchups: Nautilus (Easy - Medium)
So Nautilus is in a really bad spot right now due to a lot of mana
problems, but Riot has their eye on him right now so he’s in for
more buffs. You won’t see him much but if you do, then treat him
like Maokai. He has early to mid game kill pressure. Don’t take
dumb trades, watchout for his hook and his E (it does a surprising
amount of damage).

Q max along with Comet, PTA, or Kleptomancy. Look to outscale.

Runes against Nautilus

Consider running
Conqueror!
Champion Matchups: Olaf (Medium)
Olaf top isn’t exactly common, but he’s not uncommon if that
makes any sense. Usually they run Arcane Comet and try to kill
you early game. I would recommend just not trading with him at
all in the early game. He’s a Darius clone that falls off much
harder, but he a fast boi so be careful in skirmishes and when he
goes missing off the map, he’s most likely looking to kill the
jungler or mid laner.

I usually Q max, but sometimes I will E max just to get away fast
for when he starts to all in you. It’s a great tool to escape early
due to the low cooldown from E max. Comet, PTA, or
Kleptomancy are all good choices.
Runes against Olaf

Consider Taste of Blood to

help with survivability if you
choose to go Domination.
Champion Matchups: Ornn (Medium)
So currently I’m sitting at a 70% WR with 40 games on Ornn while
the average Ornn player is at a 46.5% WR. I’m basing this section
off of my own opinion. Do not trade with Ornn if he has Spellbook
and Ignite. You can E to knock him sideways as his W is going off
because he is no longer unstoppable. If he is trying to solo kill you
with ultimate, don’t bother running away, instead R him when he
hits his 2nd knockup on his ultimate. Treat him as if he is a better
Maokai or Nautilus. Never stand next to Ornn’s pillars, unless you
plan to double cast E really fast.

Q max. Run either Comet, PTA, or Kleptomancy. The more

practice against this champ the better.
Runes against Ornn

Consider running
Conqueror!
Champion Matchups: Pantheon (Easy - Medium)
Many players used to struggle with Pantheon, but ever since
boneplate and chrysalis got introduced, he’s struggled to kill the
lane opponent. Don’t underestimate him and never give him an
early kill, he will punish you very hard with lethality. Careful for if
he runs ignite too. I wouldn’t bother trying to trade or even W him
because he will W if you W.

Max Q or E and treat this like a Jayce lane early, you hard stomp
him if you play your cards right. Shouldn't be too bad, you’re a
good player don’t worry. Run anything with Resolve to prevent
yourself from dying. Doran’s Shield is the best start.
Runes against Pantheon
Champion Matchups: Poppy (Medium - Hard)
Outscaling Poppy is the easy part. She doesn’t have much kill
pressure and she can’t really dive you by herself. The hard part
about Poppy is killing her and the denial of abilities she puts on
you. She does a surprising amount of damage in lane. She can E
your W. She destroys you in teamfights because of her W, forcing
you to splitpush all game. Pros such as FOXA Allorim pick Poppy
into Camille if they’re planning on leaving Camille up.

Max Q and look to outscale ASAP, you most likely won’t kill her
early to mid game. I would highly recommend Kleptomancy, but
Comet and PTA are still good against her.
Runes against Poppy

Consider running
Conqueror!
Champion Matchups: Quinn (Easy)
Quinn is just ranged Pantheon but does less damage. She can
roam pretty good though because of Valor. I usually just Q for
movement speed, then W to guarantee the hit. However that is
just the bait for her to E. If she E’s then I E into her, but she
doesn’t E then you just earned yourself a free trade.

Max E and go Comet into her because she’s so squishy. At level 6

if you ever hit your E, then she usually dies because you can ult
and she has to sit in there with you meaning she’s most likely
dead unless you messes up early somehow.
Runes against Quinn

Consider taking
Scorch for early

Champion Matchups: Renekton (Easy - Medium)
Weeknd has a very good coaching session on this matchup, I
highly recommend watching it. He explains how Renekton is a
useless croc and you have 2 abilities compared to his 1 useless
ability without rage. Don’t be afraid in the early game and make
use of your passive shield! NEVER fight him when he has rage
up, he destroys you. Unless you’re really fed of course.

Q or E max depending on how you feel, I would go Comet, PTA,

or Kleptomancy depending on your playstyle.

Champion Matchups: Rengar (Medium)
Rengar is irritating on a Talon level. You don’t see him top lane
much, but when you do, you can bet that it’s a one-trick Rengar
top lane who does this every game. I would recommend standing
on the opposite side of the lane when trying to farm. He can
destroy you early so don’t bother trading. Once you get the lead, it
gets pretty easy, and you outscale really hard. Just make sure
you ping that he’s missing when he recalls because he can lane
gank your allies.

Max Q or E and look to trade when he’s not near a bush. I like to
shove him in to prevent him getting to a bush, so I tiamat rush into
him. Any rune page should work. I recommend Arcane Comet.
Runes against Rengar

Champion Matchups: Riven (Medium)
Oh boy, you wouldn’t believe how many people asked me for tips
against Riven or if Riven beats Camille. As long as you play
smart, it’s impossible for the Riven to win this matchup. If you
shove into her, don’t get greedy and take tower shots, try and let
her push into you then take a trade. If you don’t know her
cooldowns then imagine her Q, W, and E are on 4 second
cooldowns at all times. Watchout for when you W, she might try to
all in you. Also worst comes to worst, you outscale.

I used to take aftershock, but then they nerfed it. It’s still really
good against a good Riven or one that shoves you in, so I still
recommend it. I would also recommend Comet and PTA. Q or E
max are both viable. I prefer Q max with PTA.
Runes against Riven

Champion Matchups: Rumble (Easy - Medium)
Rumble isn’t in the best spot right now, but he’s getting there. He
is the ultimate counter bruiser however strangely Camille counters
him. He’s like Ornn in the sense that Camille can E into him and
change his direction causing him to spit his fire in a different
direction. He’s a lot squishier than you think he is, take advantage
of it. Watchout for his harpoons (E), then do a lot more than you
would think. Don’t stand in his fire.

Q, W, and E max are all viable against him. I would go Comet or

PTA against him.
Runes against Rumble

Consider taking
Scorch for early

Champion Matchups: Ryze (Medium)
This champ is tankier than he seems however his early game is
garbage tier. Look to try and kill him early. He’s gonna back for his
Tear of the Goddess when he gets the gold for it, then he’s going
to Teleport right back to lane. Try and coordinate this with your
jungler.

I would run either Comet or PTA for the kill pressure that you have
on him. If you allow him the freedom of pushing and controlling
the lane he will take full control. Max either Q or E, I haven’t tried
maxing W into him, but I can’t see it working that well because
you walk into his spellcasting range then take free harassment.
Runes against Ryze

Consider taking
Scorch for early

Champion Matchups: Shen (Medium)
Shen is a lot harder than you would think. Shen is a tank that is
much more developed compared to other tanks, people recognize
that Shen does damage and treat him more like a bruiser than a
tank. He’s actually really good into Camille, careful when trading
with him. If he gets his sword through you twice along with 6 AAs
and 1 E, that might be enough to kill you in the early game. Be
careful if he gets ahead, he can’t dive too well by himself. A good
Shen will rush Titanic Hydra against you, keep that as a note to
distinguish them.

Q or W max. Your E ATK speed gets cancelled out by his W a lot

of the time. I would go Comet, PTA, or Kleptomancy.
Runes against Shen

Champion Matchups: Singed (Medium)
A lot of people struggle with Singed and I can see why. This
champ was created to irritate people. Recently I ran Kleptomancy
against him and had a lot of success. Just look to farm under
tower, if you step out of tower range he may look to kill you. I
recommend either playing Singed to learn what his weaknesses
are or just watch a YouTube video to see what others do. He can
flip you out of your R so be careful of that. Trading early with
Singed is a deathwish.

I would max Q or E against him. I recommend either Comet or

Kleptomancy. Look to outscale.

Champion Matchups: Sion (Medium)
Sion is a skill matchup. Weird right? It’s a tank. However Sion
players can be very scary for Camille and vice versa. Some Sions
run Glacial Augment and others run Arcane Comet. He generally
out pressures Camille early and mid game, but that’s only if you
let him. Use your E often to try and cancel his Q before it goes off.
Keep his cooldowns in mind before you engage. Fun fact: You
ultimate cancels his Q and you can get your passive shield off of
his activated passive. His R cooldown is lower than you think,
keep that in mind.

I would either Q or E max, but I recommend E max. Go either

Comet, PTA, or Kleptomancy. Look for kills or just outscale.

Champion Matchups: Swain (Medium - Hard)
This champion is busted in my opinion. He can zone Camille for
decades and he’s really hard to gank because of his kill power.
He doesn’t seem to be a problem lower elos, but the higher you
go, the scarier he gets. Look to go in with your E if he wastes his
E, but be careful if you’re near his tower, he can pull you in if he E
comes up again. You have kill pressure level 1. Look to outscale if
you don’t get a lead.

I would Q, W, or E max into him. Fun fact: When Swain’s hit their
E on you, they almost always instantly pull so you can charge
your W in his direction and he actually pulls your W into him.
Don’t try to get hit with E. Go either Comet, PTA, or Kleptomancy.

Champion Matchups: Talon (Medium - Hard)
Talon is exactly like Olaf except he doesn’t fall off as hard as Olaf
does. He has the early game pressure of Darius, but he can roam
to fuck over every other lane if you don’t feed him. Talon top
players are one of the most irritating to fight against in my opinion.
If you fight them top lane, I would ping everyone back, even bot
lane.

He’s usually not even in lane at top, so I just Q max and push
lane. You have a lot of kill pressure on him if he misses his W, so
look to go in if he misses it. Generally I just get my Trinity Force,
then go for Sterak’s Gage 2nd item to prevent the burst from
happening. Comet or PTA are your rune choices.

Champion Matchups: Tahm Kench (Medium)
Another Darius clone. Just look to outscale him. You should never
get caught out in the middle of the lane. Stay under tower all
game if you can. You do tons of true damage to shred his health
later in the game. Don’t die early then complain how Tahm Kench
is a broken champion (this happens way too often).

You can max either Q or W. I prefer maxing W so you can poke

him down slowly over time. He also loses some lane pressure do
to it. He also can’t run you down if you max W because you slow
him if he slows you. If he flashes for you to get a 3rd hit, you flash
too. Comet or Kleptomancy is recommended.

Champion Matchups: Teemo (Medium - Hard)
Fighting the average Teemo isn’t hard at all, but I learned that the
higher elo you go, the more cancerous the builds get. You can
honestly never predict what the fuck the Teemo is gonna build so I
just check their OP.GG before the game starts so I can counter
build it if possible. You see all types of keystones being put on this
guy, it’s insane. This is the only matchup in which I would get the
Oracle Lens instead of the Warding Totem.

I would E or W max depending on the Teemo build. I would run

either Comet or Kleptomancy depending on how you feel. Doran’s
Shield start.

Champion Matchups: Trundle (Easy - Medium)
Trundle isn’t that strong in the top lane unless he’s against tanks
in my opinion. His ultimate is useless against you. Careful when
doing early trading or trying to all in him because he’s tankier than
he looks. You can use his pillar to get around. Careful for when
you’re running away and he E’s you off the wall. Don’t miss your
E, you might die from it.

I would Q max and go either Comet, PTA, or Kleptomancy.

He’s just easier Tryndamere in my opinion, but a little more tanky.

Conqueror!
Champion Matchups: Tryndamere (Medium - Hard)
This is the only champion in the game that I can think of that may
possibly outscale Camille by just 2 shotting her if she misses E.
However you shit on him early and mid game if you play it right.
Don’t get too greedy in the early levels, he has a rage bar for a
reason! Don’t trade if it’s full. You can always just play safe and
wait for a jungle gank. I would compare Tryndamere to either
Renekton or Aatrox with their rage. Fight them during on certain
times depending on their rage. Also they have healing built into
their kit so be wary of that.

I usually Q max into Tryndamere and I go PTA or Comet. I

recommend both.

Champion Matchups: Urgot (Medium)
Another Darius clone. Don’t trade with him at all until later in the
game. Just look to outscale him. Refer to notes against Darius,
Illaoi, and other Darius clones.

I would Q max. Consider maxing W if he is running Arcane Comet

so he doesn’t poke you out of lane with his Q. I would run either
Comet or Kleptomancy against him.

Wait for a gank, look to outscale you’ll do fine. Don’t trade with E
or Q.

Champion Matchups: Vladimir (Easy - Medium)
I’ve done a lot of experimenting into this matchup. This champ
can really be a pain in your ass. However if you’re ballsy, then try
out Ignite with Summoner’s Spellbook. You shit on him early
game and a lot of the time they either forget you have Ignite or
panic that you might get into kill range then waste W (which does
20% of their current health). I would let him shove into you if
possible and go for a kill. He can constantly Q so if you want to kill
him you have to constantly go in. If you aren’t looking to kill then
you shouldn’t trade with him at all.

If you’re a little baby back bitch you can run Comet against him. E
max is recommended, however Q max works too. Kleptomancy
works well if you just want to farm.
Runes against Vladimir
Champion Matchups: Volibear (Medium)
This champion is a little weird. He just auto attacks you a lot then
bites you for a ton of damage. He’s like a nerfed Darius clone in
my opinion. Keep in mind that he has his passive to heal up if he
gets low. If you E into him, keep in mind that he has his W, so I
would look to Q a minion, E into him, Q again, then run away and
W as you do so. AKA the quick trade.

Take Comet, PTA, Aftershock, or Kleptomancy. I honestly just wait

for my jungler than cuck him with true damage using Q max. But
W and E max work against him too. Sometimes I take Aftershock
just to match his Aftershock.

Champion Matchups: Wukang (Medium)
After maining this champ for 3 years I would argue that this
champ can lose lane some way or another. However, believe it or
not the early cheese can catch you off guard.

Wukang counters a lot of champions that are in meta and don’t

expect him such as Camille, Gangplank, or Fiora. Literally
anything tanky counters this champ so early health/armor is a
good investment.

Be careful early game, but don’t be afraid to push a lead if you

have one. Any rune page works, but I recommend Comet to poke
him out. Be careful for when he E’s your W though! I would Q or E
max against Wukang.

Champion Matchups: Yasuo (Easy - Medium)
Yasuo isn’t that good against Camille because he never has his
passive shield up and during all ins, it’s very hard for him to hit is
tornado. Constantly poke him down and do short trades with him.
If he tries to tornado you, then you can ult his 3rd Q and just
stomp him. His windwall can actually absorb your E because the
first part of it is a projectile, but he has to be at the perfect angle
for that to happen. Just be careful if his back is to the wall you’re
trying to aim it at. You hard shit on him once you get Trinity Force.

Go Comet or PTA and look to kill him. I would Q or E max. Try to

E only when he has no minions around so he can’t dodge your E.

Champion Matchups: Yorick (Easy - Medium)
If you dodge Yorick’s E, he’s completely useless. His Q is a nerfed
version of Nasus Q, but it still does a lot of damage. Generally go
in only if he doesn’t have his E up. He’s pretty strong early in the
game, but that’s assuming he hits his E. He’s Illaoi but has much
more counterplay once he misses E. If you get hit by his E, then
you lose every trade until later in the game.

I would go for kill pressure, so max Q or E. I recommend Comet

and PTA.
