How to Use Xerath Counter Data
Searching for dependable Xerath counters? The figures below are pulled directly from recent ranked Mid lane games rather than from tier-list opinions. Right now the hardest matchups for Xerath are Cho’Gath, Sona, and Rakan, where its win rate in the current data is lowest. Cho’Gath is the strongest counter of the three: Xerath wins only 40.8% of 125 logged games against it. In contrast, Xerath does well against Mel, Tristana, Mel, so those are the safer matchups to take on.
Every card lists Xerath’s win rate along with the number of games it is based on. A matchup with tens of thousands of games carries much more weight than one with a few hundred. The Easy, Even, and Hard tags come from those win rates: under 48% is Hard, over 52% is Easy. They simply help you read the numbers and are not a separate statistic. The data covers ranked games at Emerald and above in every region, is currently on patch 16.13.1, and updates automatically every 48 hours, so it shifts as the meta does. Matchups are only part of the picture. For the best items and runes, see the current Xerath build, and for abilities and complete details, visit the Xerath champion page.
