How is Jinx vs Vayne even? I mean sure Jinx is a scaling champ but she is easily stronger in lane than vayne from my experience. The only lane I consistently lose as Jinx is to lucian and he is my personal counter against enemy jinxs. Draven works too.

Even matches Jax vRiven is a lot of fun. Both have the tools to beat the other. Both scale into monsters. Both are overly aggressive. Both are hard to gank. Often these leads to mono e mono battle for the fate of the game. Or hopeless feeding that happens too. Almost all the "Carry" top laners (Riven Irelia Jax etc) have a pretty even match up against eachother as they are designed to flop or stomp based on early performance.

Uneven matches I think Quinn hard counters Tryndamere better than Teemo as she has an escape and a blind and a movement speed buff. Plus I feel she split pushes better than teemo which counters trynd even more as she doesn't just stop his push but pushes back. Ever seen Swain against a yasuo or fizz or any assassin mid really? He gets too tanky to burst and his DoT is just so beautiful to watch as a Fizz dies during his E.

I consider it very even post 6.

Hardest counter: Darius vs Poppy, maybe Rumble vs Teemo Also, Tryndamere can win the lane against Teemo. I mean, he is countered, but I wouldn't call it a hardest counter.

The hardest counter I've come across has been Zed vsSkarner. Not that either are typical for top lane, but man that is an uneven fight.

The closest matchup is also a bit of an odd one. I find Garen vsHeimerdinger to be about as close as it can get. If either champion makes a mistake the other will get a kill, but if neither make one it's a full on stalemate.

I know how to fight Zed, however Zed destroys Skarner in lane, and since that's the hardest counter I've experienced (from the Skarner side) and it fits with the theme of this thread I shared that bit of information.

Zed counters a lot of champs top. It's a wonder he isn't more popular there.

Kennen vs Trundle is the biggest counter lane I've played.

if you consider the above "hard lane counters"... try Heimerdinger vs Azir

That's a skill lane.

Pantheon vs any short ranged champion = rip Gnar vs Teemo is fun matchup - I think that teemo wins, but if he gets camped, he will be useless later on, unlike gnar who can build full tank and still be useful/ Cait/ Vayne/Quinn/Kalista or the old Trist vs melee top = rip (without jungle pressure)(I think that rushing thornmail is the only viable strategy in this situation) Lulu vs Jax = rip jax

I faced Vayne as Renekton once before I even knew top lane Vayne was a thing, not fun.
