Hard to dual alone, and she is very incentivized to contest objectives. She also out-scales. Try to CC in team fights if you can get on her with her dashes.
Briar
Never really had a problem. Pick up blobs, and make sure you fight with something to Q her to.
Diana
Careful of early dueling in jg. She loses late though.
Ekko
Hard to land CC on and his R is annoying. Careful of burst.
Fiddlesticks
Very much a skill matchup. Keep up in farm, and make sure to tell your team not to group in team fights.
Hecarim
Easy to CC. Make sure to peel for your carries.
Kindred
One of my 2 permabans. She takes your camps and you can't cc her. Play for team and for team fights.
Lillia
One of my 2 permabans. Impossible to CC, and too much dmg. Ban most games (especially in low elo)
Ivern
He out-farms, and can out heal/shield your damage. Requires you to play smart and strategic about your clears and team fights.
Jarvan IV
He hard wins early, but you out-scale.
Jax
Mechanics required to face this champion. Skill matchup
Karthus
Focus on clears and tempo. Build force of nature 3rd item and you should be able to fight him.
Kayn
hard to duel if he goes red kayn, hard to peel if he goes blue. Play around your team to take him down, and try your best to CC.
Kha'Zix
Hard to peel for your team, but you win duels.
Lee Sin
Skill match up. Counter gank, play safe when alone, and outscale.
Maokai
You cant kill him, he cant kill you. Better CC wins.
Master Yi
CC him and he can't do anything. Build wardens early.
Nocturne
Hard to peel for your team with the blind if he is ahead. Not too big of a problem though. Stay close to your team, and pick him off when he goes in.
Nunu & Willump
He wins early ganks. Make sure your team knows this. You win post 6.
Olaf
E away from his R, and q back in when its over if he chases. You win duels.
Rammus
ok
Rek'Sai
Hard to keep track of early game. She wins early. Focus on late game and out-scaling.
Rengar
If he knows what he is doing, he will invade and make the early game hell for you. Try your best to scale, but he can pick off carries before you can react.
Shaco
If he knows what he is doing, he will invade and make the early game hell for you. Try your best to scale, but he can pick off carries before you can react.
Shyvana
Contest dragons and focus on scaling. You win most 2v2s so focus on counter-ganking.
Skarner
Don't fight in crystals. Make sure to CC him when he grabs someone to make sure he can't bring them to his team.
Taliyah
Wait for her E. Don't E over her rocks.
Udyr
Hard to duel. He out-damages your healing. Try to 1v2 him.
Sejuani
Very easy matchup. You win in most aspects.
Trundle
Hard to duel. His R sucks to play against. Try to only fight him later in the game.
Vi
She beats you early. Build lots of armor for her shred passive.
Volibear
He wins most fights and out scales. Peel for carries and try to dive their backline instead of going for him.
Warwick
Hard to fight until 6, after that you stomp.
Wukong
Very hard to fight. He out-damages you most parts of the game. Play smart and don't fight him when he has R
Xin Zhao
He beats you early, but you hard out-scale.
Graves
Does way too much damage and out-scales. Try to fight him in minion waves so you can block his autos. Avoid him in jungle unless you have backup.
Gragas
Avoid skill-shots, and try to CC. Big mechanics matchup.
Brand
He hard out-scales. In the late game try to fight him when he's alone instead of team-fights.
Elise
Hard to win early. Play for post lvl 6
Aatrox
His W gives an easy pull to set up for your E, and he also has a bit of CC with his Q to make hitting your skill-shots easier. Careful of pulling/pushing people out of his abilities.
Ahri
Only setup is charm.
Akali
Not a lot of AoE magic damage or setup. Good to fight against single targets though.
Akshan
Not a lot of setup. Good for killing single targets.
Alistar
Strong extra CC setup and a fellow frontline.
Amumu
Strong extra CC setup and a fellow frontline.
Anivia
Abyssal is easy to abuse: Has a CC to help you land your gank, and has strong AoE magic damage for late game
Annie
Abyssal is easy to abuse: Has a CC to help you land your gank, and has strong AoE magic damage for late game
Aphelios
High DPS output if late enough in the game. Easy to peel for.
Ashe
R CC is nice set up, and so is her passive slow
Aurelion Sol
Abyssal is easy to abuse: If you land your engage, his R and E pumps out insane damage to one shot the whole team.
Azir
Not a lot of setup except for his R, but Abyssal is easy to abuse if he has enough soldiers
Bard
Good to set up tower dives, good CC, and decent damage output
Bel'Veth
Good setup with her W, and large dps output
Blitzcrank
Strong extra CC setup and a fellow frontline. Good for picks.
Brand
Abyssal is easy to abuse: Lots of AoE damage, as well as a stun
Braum
You don't auto-attack much making it difficult to proc his passive if it is just you two, but in team fights your pairing of CC can be lethal.
Briar
Her high DPS output as well as a stun, and needing for more setup makes you two a good pair.
Caitlyn
Her trap can be good for setup, and she can have a lot of DPS output, but that is about it.
Camille
Her CC makes for an easy solo target pick, but there's not a lot more you two can do together.
Cassiopeia
Abyssal isn't as good since she is only single target, but it still can put in work
Cho'Gath
Together you two don't have a lot of DPS output, but he can help with securing objectives, and setting up CC.
Corki
Only a good pair if he can have good uses of his package.
Darius
You can provide good setup for him early game so he can stomp lane.
Diana
If you go in first, Abyssal can be a good pair with her R. She doesn't have very good DPS after that though.
Dr. Mundo
Not a lot of damage output, and all he really provides for you is being another target in the frontline
Draven
High DPS output early, but not a lot you can really do later in the game other than peel for him
Ekko
He has good setup, and he has a lot of potential for picks. However, he doesn't have a lot of AoE damage, or team fight potential with you.
Elise
Why are you guys on the same team?
Evelynn
Why are you guys on the same team?
Ezreal
He doesn't have a lot of damage output, but ganking and peeling for him can make it easier for him to land his skill-shots.
Fiddlesticks
Good for abusing Abyssal: his passive fear with his R makes a really good team-wiping combo
Fiora
Not a lot of set-up for you, but she can be a good person to peel for and to help if she is getting collapsed on while splitting.
Fizz
He has a lot of potential for picks. However, he doesn't have a lot of AoE damage, or team fight potential with you.
Galio
Good team fight potential, and can be good for abyssal due to his R. He has good damage output if he goes AP, and can be a good fellow frontline for your team.
Gangplank
You can pull/push people in to his barrels for large damage, and making it easier on him to land his shots.
Garen
Not a lot of synergy in terms of kits, but surprisingly strong 2v2 potential.
Gnar
You work well with mega gnar, not small gnar. Wait for when he is about to transform, and then give him set-up for his R and stuns for a great CC chain.
Gragas
Can be used for abyssal abusing, however, he has traditionally lower damage outputs than other AoE mages.
Graves
Not a lot to play off of, but you can peel for him and give him CC for high dmg output for him
Gwen
Good for Abyssal abusing if you can get everyone together for her full stack Q
Hecarim
Why are you on the same team
Heimerdinger
Hwei
Abyssal is easy to abuse: He has an inconsistent root, but if he lands it it can be an easy kill. He also has very strong team fight potential if you peel for him.
Illaoi
She gives you something to Q2 someone to, but a lot of the time there isn't enough damage to get a full kill off in a gank unless she has ult.
Irelia
She has a reliable stun, and she has enough damage in the later game to team fight with, but she has trouble following up on ganks unless she ults.
Ivern
1: why are you guys on the same team?
2: play around his root. He can make you much more tanky with his shielding
Janna
Good setup for ganks. She also heals and makes you faster while making everyone else slower.
Note: Careful of the graphics of her tornado. It can make it easy to miss your E because they get lifted up. Aim for where they were on the ground.
Jarvan IV
If you can somehow get multiple people in his R, and R in it as well it can be a nasty combo. Otherwise, you two don't have a lot of damage, but you can put a lot of CC and debuffs on the enemy team.
Jax
Strong damage & availability for ganking. If he has good mechanics, I would camp his lane because a strong Jax is always nice in this meta.
Jayce
He has high damage output, and good follow up on ganks.
Note: a lot of low elo (gold and below) Jayce players don't have good enough mechanics to play around.
Jhin
His roots are very nice for setting up a CC chain while chasing. Very high damage output late game, so peel for him if he is doing well.
Jinx
The slow is nice for catching people while chasing, but the traps are mostly used defensively for herself. If she gets ahead, and has the opportunity to hyperscale, peel for her in the late game.
K'Sante
Since he is so strong in the current meta, he is a very viable person to look to gank in order to get him ahead early. I wouldn't gank him pre-6 though since he has a low damage output without his ult. In teamfights, you two should be an unstoppable frontline.
Kai'Sa
She isn't very strong in this current meta, but she can be used for an abyssal abuse.
Kalista
Despite popular belief, Kalista's ult is very bad with Zac. If you E, you leave her R range. If she ults, you are too close for an E angle. The only good thing you could do if you get ulted in would be Q stun into E and then R.
Karma
Her movespeed boosts don't do a lot for you, but the shield is nice. Try to keep people in her RQ.
Karthus
Strong for Abyssal abusing. Make sure not to CC people out of his Qs.
Kassadin
Protect him early, so that he can hyperscale and give you the free win. His high damage can easily one shot with your abyssal debuff.
Katarina
She has amazing followup for your ganks and CC. If she goes AP it can be very good with Abyssal Mask. A fed Katarina with good peel to get off her Rs can easily carry the game.
Kayle
Her armor/magic resist debuff on her Q allows for you to have a high damage output on ganks. Protect her early, so that he can hyperscale and give you the free win.
Kayn
Why are you on the same team?
His base form doesn't give you a lot, but if he somehow gets ahead play around peeling him if he is blue. If he goes red then try to play off his W CC and get free picks in their backline as a strong frontline.
Kennen
You can make it easy for him to land his passive stun, and his R is very strong with your Abyssal Mask. The only bad thing is that he isn't very strong in the current meta. Otherwise he would be "Ideal".

Xayah
She has high damage output if she can get fed, but she isn't really in a great spot in the meta and is hard to play around as Zac.
Xerath
He has good setup and kill potential for ganks, but its not really worth it if he isn't poking to get them low first.
Xin Zhao
Not a lot to play off of. (why are you guys on the same team)
Yasuo
An OG duo. All 3 of your CC abilities are knock ups to trigger his R
Yone
He has great follow up for kill potential, and a fed Yone is always nice to have on your team
Yorick
Great setup with ganks with his cage. Lots of burst if he has 4 ghouls up.
Yuumi
Yuumi is good with any character if they know what they're doing. (Build Spirit Visage if she gets onto you)
Zac
what? (infinite lockdown)
Zed
There isn't a whole lot to play around with Zed. He has a lot of burst, but it isn't very good with you.
Zeri
There isn't a whole lot to play around with Zeri other than just peeling for her and hoping she can get fed.
Ziggs
Even though he is an AoE mage, he doesn't really have enough damage to abuse the abyssal mask build.
Zilean
His stun is good, and his R is good to either save passive, or to keep you alive if your passive is down.
Zoe
She is good for getting single target picks with you, and to set up ganks, but there isn't a lot of team fighting potential to play around other than peeling for her.
Zyra
If you go abyssal, she can provide a lot of AoE burst for your team with her ult and plants. She also has good CC setup with her root.
