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.

MR Priority

Both deal magic damage. An early Null-Magic Mantle or Mercury's Treads can swing the lane. Hexdrinker is also an option for AD champs.

Hit and Run

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

Exploit LeBlanc's Weakness

LeBlanc's main weakness: Waveclear, tanks, falls off late, W back is predictable. Play around this to maximize your advantage.

LeBlanc Win Condition

W dash burst, chain CC, clone mind games, roam

Malzahar Win Condition

R suppress priority target, voidlings push waves, passive blocks burst

Kill Pressure vs Map Play

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