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.

Mixed Resistances

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

Sustained vs Burst

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

Range Advantage

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

Exploit Yasuo's Weakness

Yasuo's main weakness: Hard CC, burst before windwall, 0/10 powerspike is a meme. Play around this to maximize your advantage.

Yasuo Win Condition

Windwall key abilities, stack Q tornado, R off knockups

Kennen Win Condition

Flank with R+Zhonya's for AoE stun

Kill Pressure vs Map Play

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