Fizz Akali Mordekaiser DrMundo Shaco Rengar

There are a few champs that I have no clue how to lane against and against whom I lose lane almost every game (even when playing hard counters to them). I've read tons of stuff about playing against them, but I still seem to get facerolled. Anyone willing to offer assistance (possibly even do some customs?) "OP" Champions listed above.

against Mundo, I'd avoid magic dmg dealers cause Mundo wants to build Spirit Visage and Merc Treads really bad, and you're giving him more reason to rush em. So a physical dmg dealer with good sustain. I think Irelia or Riven would be ideal, cause if Mundo can't bully them out early their lifesteal and sustained dmg will take over.

also, for Akali....my one friend who used Akali countered her with Renekton. I hear Swain listed a lot, but you gotta be careful with Swain against her cause she can snowball if you get careless.

The thing is, I'm not really talking about champions. For like akali or fizz, I know who to play against them, I just don't know HOW.

Mordekaiser Is in a pretty bad spot right now, any early aggression will punish him. Stand away from minions all the time and harass him so he has to choose to "W" you or the minions, don't worry about his damage early game as it's pretty weak until his "W" gets level 3. Any champion that is capable of hard engaging on him is deal as Mordekaiser is extremely weak when he doesn't have the time to generate his shield.

Champions such as JarvanIV MonkeyKing Aatrox Chogath Anivia Renekton Pantheon should be destroying him in lane, just a small list. Any champion that can crowd control him and engage will pretty much win this lane.

Fizz Fizz is tricky, the best way to go against him is to be really aggressive in the early games, harassing him whenever possible with your auto attacks or spells when he goes for a CS will shut him down early but not forever. Always be aware of his all-in potential and don't assume a tower will keep you safe, his ability to become untargetable makes tower useless when he gets ahead.

If you want a champion that will take a dump on Fizz (and Akali), check out Diana. She has more burst and dueling potential than Fizz will ever have and her natural tankiness allows her to run over him and the only way he can harass you is if he wants to duel which even if he uses "Playful Trickster" to jump a distance, Diana can do her AoE pull in + slow to punish him even more.

I mean I can only so much...depends on who you pick. if it helps any, I've played as Swain a number of times against Fizz and Akali.

Akali, keep tossing E and if ya can auto her. Don't let her free farm cause once she gets her sustain going....you gotta stop her in the early going and not her get the hextech crap going.

Fizz....it's more complicated due to how the player uses their playful trickster. I can bully Fizz pretty good with Swain. The big factor with Fizz is the jungle ganks to go with his ult.

Fighting each one is a different beast. Akali is probably the more stressful of the two alone as she can straight up get out of control by dashing to you and free farming with lifesteal/spellvamp, while Fizz you have to factor in the jungler more so and counterattacking you.
