How to Use Smolder Counter Data
This page catalogues the notable Smolder counters for the ADC role in League of Legends, drawn from ranked matchup data rather than guesswork. At the moment, Lux, Zed, and Syndra are the toughest matchups for Smolder, where its win rate falls the most below its overall average. Lux is the worst of them: Smolder takes only 33.0% of 100 recorded games against her. On the other side, Smolder performs well against Vayne, Swain, and Yunara, which are worth targeting during champion select.
Every card lists Smolder’s win rate in that matchup along with the number of games it is based on. A figure backed by tens of thousands of games deserves more confidence than one built on a few hundred. The Easy, Even, and Hard tags come directly from those win rates: under 48% is marked Hard, over 52% is marked Easy. They’re meant to make scanning easier and aren’t a separate statistic. The numbers come from Emerald-and-above ranked games across all regions on patch 16.13.1, and they update every 48 hours, so they shift as the meta does. Matchups only tell part of the story, so pair them with the current Smolder build for recommended items and runes, or visit the Smolder champion page for ability details and the full breakdown.
