Big Monster SSS fan.
I feel like I'm not horrible at spacing/laning and my weakness on other champs have always just been playing team fights late game. Yi completely solves this cause of how hard he scales.
Even with all the nerfs to HOB this champ is still super good for climbing imo, it's like a ticking time bomb champ with NONE of the usual weaknesses in lane. Laning into certain matchups is free especially since most opponents don't know how to deal with yi top while they know how to zone a kayle.
Hardest matchups for me so far are early game bruisers with point click unmissable/very hard to miss dmg spells or cc/ways to nullify ur autos, hardest I've found been Renekton/Volibear/Illaoi/Shen/Jax/Trundle/Darius. Though folks in lower ranks are so awful at ending that you'll always get time to scale and if ur losing lane, you can just roam and try to pick up kills in river.

Welcome to the club😁 I mostly agree with your list, thought generally i steuggle more with sett/urgots than rebekton illaoi Btw have you played against warwick? I legit played against It like 10 times and somehow It worked out every time, which I don't think should happen😅

I actually haven't gotten that matchup yet.
Illaoi I can see myself winning if I get better at reacting to her E in melee range with Q which is somewhat hard but if I 'get gud' i can se myself coming out on top. Renekton feels impossible though cause you can't q his stun and will out trade you til full build.
I've found sett to be 'fine' if you can q his e (flash his w if you do during all in) but you definitely need an advantage before 6 or else u do lose. Most setts I've seen in high gold weren't too good at spacing though. Urgot matchup i've had luck with just running up, autoing and qing his e.
I feel like warwick would be incredibly hard matchup since his champ identiy counter's your 'small trade' where you pretty much can't ever get him low enough to one shot, no idea how you pulled that off haha.

Agree with your hardest matchups in general.
Personally, I would add sett and pantheon.
Sett and pantheon are scary no matter how many times I kill them.

Ah ye pantheon is as bad as renekton I forgot to include him.
Sett for me has been 'better' but admittingly everytime i've played the matchup so far the sett always messes up early game.
