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.

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.
