How to Use Vex Counter Data
This page covers the key Vex matchups in League of Legends for the MID role, drawn from ranked win-rate data rather than personal judgment. In the current data set, Sion, Brand, and Annie are the lane opponents where Vex wins least often. Sion is the hardest of the three: Vex has won 44.4% of 126 recorded games against it. In contrast, Vex does well against Riven, Jayce, and Yone, so those are the safer matchups to take on.
Every card displays Vex’s win rate in that matchup along with the number of games behind it. A figure based on tens of thousands of games deserves more confidence than one resting on a few hundred. The Easy, Even, and Hard tags come from the win rate itself: under 48% is labeled Hard, and over 52% is labeled Easy. They help with quick scanning but are not 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. For the strongest items and runes, see the current Vex build guide. For abilities and complete champion details, visit the Vex champion page.
