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

Vladimir is strongest late game while Akali peaks mid game. Play around your power window.

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.

Sustained vs Burst

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

Range Advantage

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

Exploit Akali's Weakness

Akali's main weakness: Hard CC, true sight, early poke. Play around this to maximize your advantage.

Vladimir Win Condition

Scale, E+R teamfight nuke, pool dodges everything, unkillable late

Akali Win Condition

Assassinate backline, shroud outplays in teamfights

Ghost Threat

Vladimir runs Ghost Ã¢â‚¬â€ they can run you down in extended chases. Respect their movement speed and don't overstay in trades.
