Ranged matchups in toplane

I hate most ranged matchups, most of them I win against them but Im not in the highest elo to see good ranged top mains yet (plat-emerald elo)

How hard are the matchups the higher you go for the storm?

I played against good kennen and gnars and couldnt do nothing against them except proxy and attract attention for my team to something else. I still have to play against graves, varus or jayce (I havent encountered them once) are they very bad matchups or do they require a lot of skill?
