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

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

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

Sustained vs Burst

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

Range Advantage

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

Sylas's main weakness: Bad ults to steal, grievous wounds, early poke. Play around this to maximize your advantage.

Kindred Win Condition
