A nail-slinging exorcist versed in forbidden rites, Corvin Locke is the progeny of Demacian occultists. Born into lies and hypocrisy, he learned young that demons aren't the cause of humanity's darkness, but the consequence.

Locke Strengths and Weaknesses

Where Locke stands against every champion this patch, from ranked game stats per minute.

Strengths

  • Healing: better than 76% of champions

Weaknesses

  • Crowd control: below 77% of champions
  • Vision score: below 71% of champions

Locke ranks in the 87.3 percentile for early game strength, 23.6 percentile for late game scaling, 50.3 percentile for objective control, 64.1 percentile for support strength, 1.8 percentile for creep farming, and 21.8 percentile for damage output.

Locke demonstrates unique performance characteristics, with win rates showing a 54.3% decrease from Iron to Chal tiers. This pattern suggests that Locke may be more accessible for newer players while facing increased difficulty against higher-skilled opponents. In Iron tier, Locke achieves a 54.3% win rate, which gradually declines to 0.0% in Chal. This trend often indicates that Locke's strengths can be more effectively countered by experienced players who understand the champion's weaknesses and trading patterns. The declining performance (Iron (54.3%), Bronze (49.3%), Silver (45.3%), Gold (47.8%), Platinum (48.7%)) suggests that while Locke can be effective in lower ranks where opponents may not exploit vulnerabilities, higher-tier players are better equipped to neutralize Locke's advantages. However, this doesn't mean Locke is unviable at higher ranks - rather, it requires more sophisticated strategies, better macro play, and careful matchup selection. Players at higher elos should focus on understanding when to pick Locke, how to play around counters, and maximizing value in favorable matchups. Success with Locke at higher levels demands strong game sense, positioning, and the ability to adapt playstyle based on team compositions and enemy picks.
