How to Use Locke Counter Data
Here you’ll find every significant Locke matchup in League of Legends for the MID lane, based on ranked win-rate data instead of guesswork. Right now Volibear, Fizz, and Udyr give Locke its weakest results in the current dataset. Volibear is the hardest of the three: Locke wins only 35.0% of 254 logged games against him. Orianna, Smolder, and Tristana are the opposite case, with Locke doing well enough that they are safer matchups to take on.
Every card lists Locke’s win rate along with the number of games it’s drawn from. A matchup supported by tens of thousands of games deserves more confidence than one resting on a few hundred. The Easy, Even, and Hard tags come straight from those win rates: anything under 48% is marked Hard, and anything over 52% is marked Easy. They’re meant to make the table quicker to scan, not to act as a separate statistic. The figures cover ranked games at Emerald and above in all regions, on patch 16.13.1, and update every 48 hours to track shifts in the meta. For a fuller picture, pair these counters with the current Locke build for recommended items and runes, or visit the Locke champion page for ability details and more.
