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

Early Aggression

Akshan needs to punish Ryze before they scale. Zone them off CS levels 1-5 and look for solo kills before first back. If Ryze reaches 2 items even, you're in trouble.

Mixed Resistances

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

Hit and Run

Akshan needs to combo and back off. Don't stay in extended trades against Ryze's sustained damage. Short trades, then disengage.

Exploit Ryze's Weakness

Ryze's main weakness: Short range, weak early, needs stacking time. Play around this to maximize your advantage.

Akshan Win Condition

Roam with E, revive teammates, early kills

Ryze Win Condition

EQ combo spam, R team teleport, scale into DPS mage

Kill Pressure vs Map Play

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