Hwei vs Vex Matchup Summary

The Hwei vs Vex matchup is a moderate matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 44 recent matches analyzed, Vex wins with a 52.3% win rate compared to Hwei's 47.7%, giving Vex a 4.5 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Vex controls the early laning stage, but Hwei outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Vex needs to press advantages before Hwei reaches their power spikes, while Hwei should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Vex leads by 169 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. While Vex is slightly favored, Hwei can absolutely win this lane through smart trading patterns and wave management. Focus on playing around your cooldowns, conceding CS only when necessary, and capitalizing on Vex's mistakes. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Farming
6.3Hwei
6.1Vex
Hwei and Vex farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.2 CS/min difference. Neither champion holds a meaningful farming advantage, so lane dominance will come from trading and jungle interaction rather than CS leads.
Damage
1,021Hwei
885Vex
Hwei heavily out-damages Vex by 137 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Vex should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Hwei's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
12,656Hwei
12,637Vex
Hwei and Vex generate nearly equal gold per game, with just a 18 gold difference. Neither champion has a clear economic advantage, so gold leads will depend on individual play quality, kill participation, and objective contributions.
Utility
1.1Hwei
1.0Vex
Both Hwei and Vex provide similar amounts of crowd control (0.0s/min difference), meaning neither has a significant advantage in locking down opponents for ganks or team fights. Lane ganks are equally effective for both sides.
Sustain
497Hwei
666Vex
Vex vastly out-sustains Hwei, healing and mitigating 169 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Vex can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Hwei is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Hwei, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.

Best Hwei Build Against Vex

Spellslinger's Shoes is the optimal boots choice against Vex, providing the mobility and stats Hwei needs most in this matchup. The top-performing core items for Hwei against Vex are Liandry's Torment, Shadowflame and Blackfire Torch.

Adjustments may be needed based on team compositions and game state, but this build provides the strongest foundation for the Hwei vs Vex matchup.

Vex dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 55.6% win rate — a 11.1 percentage point lead over Hwei. This lopsided early game means Vex can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Late game (25+ minutes) is equally balanced, with Hwei at 50.0% win rate — only 0.0 points ahead of Vex. Team fight execution and macro play determine the winner at this stage, not champion matchup advantage.

The power dynamics shift as the game progresses — Vex has the edge early, but Hwei gradually takes over. However, the margins are slim enough that either champion can win at any stage with the right plays. Focus on taking advantages when you have them rather than waiting for a specific game phase.
