How are champion matchup win rates calculated?

Win rates are calculated from thousands of ranked games in Emerald+ elo on the current patch. Data is sourced from OP.GG and updated regularly.

What does a 55% win rate matchup mean?

A 55% win rate means Champion 1 wins 55 out of every 100 games against Champion 2 in ranked. Anything above 52% is considered a favorable matchup.

Do matchup win rates change every patch?

Yes. Champion buffs, nerfs, item changes, and meta shifts can all affect matchup win rates. Our data updates with each new patch.

Should I always pick the counter champion?

Not necessarily. Comfort and experience on a champion often matter more than counter-picking, especially below Diamond. A 2-3% win rate difference is easily overcome by champion mastery.

What rank is the matchup data from?

All matchup data is sourced from Emerald+ ranked games to ensure the data reflects skilled play. Lower elo matchups can differ significantly.

How to Play This Matchup

Mid-Game Showdown

Both champions spike around the same time. The player who gets their first item faster wins. Focus on CS leads and smart trades to build an advantage before the mid-game.

Mixed Resistances

Akali deals AP damage while Gnar deals AD. Build resistances accordingly Ã¢â‚¬â€ don't stack the wrong type.

Range Advantage

Gnar has range advantage. Akali should look for short trades when Gnar uses abilities on the wave. Freeze near your tower and wait for jungle help or an all-in window.

Exploit Gnar's Weakness

Gnar's main weakness: Mega timing, all-in when mini, predictable. Play around this to maximize your advantage.

Akali Win Condition

Assassinate backline, shroud outplays in teamfights

Gnar Win Condition

Poke in mini, engage in Mega with R

Kill Pressure vs Map Play

Akali typically runs Ignite for kill pressure. Gnar runs Teleport for map impact. Akali needs to convert the combat advantage into kills before Gnar outscales through TP plays.
