How to Use Hwei Counter Data
LoLGuru tracks every notable Hwei matchup in League of Legends for the MID lane, using ranked match data instead of guesswork. At the moment, the toughest lanes for Hwei are Xerath, Yasuo and Nilah, where his win rate falls the most below his baseline. Xerath is the worst of them: Hwei has won only 42.6% of 108 recorded games against him. On the other side, Hwei has the edge over Yunara, Kog’Maw and Sion, which are good picks to aim for during champion select.
Every card lists Hwei’s win rate in that matchup along with the number of games it’s based on. A result drawn from tens of thousands of games deserves more trust than one built on a few hundred. The Easy, Even and Hard tags come straight from those win rates: under 48% is labeled Hard, over 52% is labeled Easy. They’re meant to make the table easier to scan, not to serve as a separate statistic. The numbers come from Emerald-and-above ranked games in every region, reflect patch 16.13.1, and update every 48 hours, so they shift as the meta does. Matchups are only part of the story, so look at the current Hwei build for the best items and runes, or visit the Hwei champion page for his abilities and complete details.
