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

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

Armor Rush

Both champions deal physical damage. Whoever builds armor first (Plated Steelcaps, Bramble Vest) gets a huge advantage in trades.

Sustained vs Burst

Tristana wants to combo and disengage. Kalista wins extended trades. Don't let Tristana get a clean rotation Ã¢â‚¬â€ force long fights where sustain wins.

Exploit Kalista's Weakness

Kalista's main weakness: Hard CC stops hops, short range, needs support synergy. Play around this to maximize your advantage.

Kalista Win Condition

Rend stacks execute, R save/engage support, kite forever

Tristana Win Condition

W reset snowball, E bomb burst, longest range ADC late game
