How to Use Ambessa Counter Data
Every figure on this page, covering which champions beat Ambessa and which ones Ambessa beats, comes from live ranked Top lane matchup data. At the moment, Aurora, Rek’Sai and Warwick give Ambessa the most trouble, since her win rate sinks furthest below her average in those games. Aurora is the toughest of the three, with Ambessa winning only 39.2% of 125 recorded games. On the other side, Ambessa has the edge over Xin Zhao, Locke and Maokai, so those are worth targeting during champion select.
Each card displays Ambessa’s win rate against that opponent along with the number of games behind it. A result drawn from tens of thousands of games deserves more confidence than one built on a few hundred. Easy, Even and Hard labels are assigned automatically from the win rate: under 48% is Hard, over 52% is Easy, and anything between is Even. These labels only help with reading the numbers and are not a separate statistic. The data covers ranked games at Emerald and above in every region, is currently based on patch 16.13.1, and updates every 48 hours, so it shifts as the meta changes. Matchups tell only part of the story, so pair them with the current Ambessa build for the best items and runes, or open the Ambessa champion page for her abilities and complete details.
