Key takeaways

  • Gragas is favored in this matchup: Gragas wins 58.9% of 124 games, and the whole 95% range (50.1–67.1%) is on the same side of 50%.
  • That is 11.2 points better for Gragas than both champions' overall Top win rates predict (47.7%), so the matchup itself favors this pick — not just champion strength.
  • Neither side reliably wins the lane: the average gold difference at 15 minutes is 101, within the margin of error (60 games).

How we calculate this

Games: ranked Solo/Duo and Flex games on the North America server from the patch shown. Remakes (games under 5 minutes) are excluded.

A game only counts when Gragas and Darius played the same position on opposite teams, so roaming, lane swaps within a team or a champion merely being in the same game never count as this matchup.

The 95% range is a Wilson score interval. Confidence comes from how wide that range is: within ±3 points is very high, ±5 high, ±8 moderate, anything wider low. Below 20 games a matchup is not classified at all.

Expected win rate combines both champions’ win rates in this lane (same games and filters) with the log5 formula: E = A(1−B) / (A(1−B) + B(1−A)). Matchup effect = observed − expected.

"What changes" compares Gragas's choices in this matchup with the same champion's other games in the same lane, and lists a change only when it is at least 3 points and statistically significant (two-proportion z-test, |z| ≥ 2, 20+ games).

Results are not split by rank: the sample per rank is too small for honest per-rank matchup numbers.

Best Gragas Build vs Darius

Usual Gragas build (Top)

90.0% win rate · 10 games

Against Darius

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 2 of 29 Gragas games against Darius carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Gragas's standard build instead.

  • Gragas usually completes Rod of Ages first, at 12.3 min (median of 23 games).
  • Darius usually completes Youmuu's Ghostblade first, at 12.7 min (median of 30 games).
  • Skill priority: Q > E > W — the same as usual.

Builds are ranked by the lower edge of their win rate range, not the raw win rate, so a build seen in a handful of wins never outranks a proven one.
