Key takeaways

  • Current data slightly favors Malphite, but the sample is too limited for a strong conclusion: Gragas wins 43.5% of 85 games (95% range 33.5–54.1%).
  • Both champions' overall Top win rates predict 47.1% for Gragas; the result is within the margin of error of that, so this matchup mostly reflects the two champions' general strength.
  • Neither side reliably wins the lane: the average gold difference at 15 minutes is 21, within the margin of error (39 games).
  • Gragas players pick Overgrowth far more often against Malphite: 10.4% of their other Top games, 23.1% here.
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 Malphite 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 Malphite

Usual Gragas build (Top)

72.7% win rate · 55 games

Against Malphite

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 1 of 23 Gragas games against Malphite carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Gragas's standard build instead.

  • 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.
