Locke Build Guide

Locke has found a home in both the middle lane and the jungle. On patch 16.13.1 he posts a 48.96% winrate with a 12.29% pickrate, which is a little under average for winrate but still draws heavy play. Electrocute suits him well, letting him string together fast bursts before his opponents can respond.

His standard build pairs Lich Bane for on-hit damage, Shadowflame to hit fragile enemies harder, and Zhonya’s Hourglass to stay alive in longer fights. Level up Q first, then E, then W, so his main damage ability comes online early while his utility waits. The complete item path, rune setup, and matchup notes are in the guide below.
