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

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

Close the Gap

Zyra will poke you down. You need to find an angle to all-in. Use bushes, minion waves, and flash aggressively. One good engage wins the lane.

Range Advantage

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

Exploit Zyra's Weakness

Zyra's main weakness: All-in, squishy, plants die to AoE. Play around this to maximize your advantage.

Hecarim Win Condition

Speed charge ganks, R fear engage, run down squishies

Zyra Win Condition

Plant zone control, R knockup in teamfights, high damage support

Ghost Threat

Hecarim runs Ghost Ã¢â‚¬â€ they can run you down in extended chases. Respect their movement speed and don't overstay in trades.
