Wither (W) halves his attack speed to neutralize repeated Spinning Slash (E) and crit-based healing; tank through it and reverse the game late with Siphoning Strike (Q) stacks.

He relies on autos and crits, so Wither (W) cuts his attack and move speed to kill his Sweeping Blade (E) kiting and damage; tank it with armor and take the late game with Siphoning Strike (Q) stacks.

Wither (W) cuts his attack and move speed to break his auto-attack lifesteal, Blood Hunt (W) chase, and Infinite Duress (R) engage; sustain the lane with Soul Eater (P) lifesteal and reverse it late with Siphoning Strike (Q) stacks.

Wither (W) shuts down the on-hit damage and possession resets of Sovereign's Domination (P); tank and trade back while steadily stacking Siphoning Strike (Q).

He's an auto-attack/crit carry, so Wither (W) cuts his attack speed and the dash mobility of Mortal Steel (Q)'s third hit to stop his burst; tank it and dominate late with Siphoning Strike (Q) stacks.

Blinding Dart (Q) makes his Siphoning Strike (Q)-empowered auto and normal attacks miss, blocking stacks and damage, while Toxic Shot (P) ranged poison harass shuts down his approach and lane management.

Early level and stat advantage plus the Ruthless Predator (W) stun combo all-in let him dominate the lane and disrupt Siphoning Strike (Q) stack farming, cutting off his scaling entirely.

Apprehend (E) pulls him in for five stacks of Hemorrhage (P) and a Noxian Guillotine (R) execute to keep pressuring the early lane, cutting him down before Siphoning Strike (Q) stacks accumulate.

Riposte (W) parries Wither (W) and stuns him back, while Duelist's Dance (P) vital true damage melts a tank's defensive stats regardless of armor.

Realm of Death (R) isolates him into a 1v1, and the magic %-max-health damage of Obliterate (Q) and Darkness Rise (P) ignores his armor and stacks while Indestructible (W) keeps him alive.
