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.

How to Play This Matchup

Early Aggression

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

Mixed Resistances

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

Hit and Run

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