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

Power Curve

Ryze is strongest late game while Malphite peaks mid game. Play around your power window.

Mixed Resistances

Ryze deals AP damage while Malphite deals Mixed. Build resistances accordingly Ã¢â‚¬â€ don't stack the wrong type.

Sustained vs Burst

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

Range Advantage

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

Exploit Ryze's Weakness

Ryze's main weakness: Short range, weak early, needs stacking time. Play around this to maximize your advantage.

Ryze Win Condition

EQ combo spam, R team teleport, scale into DPS mage
