Key takeaways

  • Current data slightly favors Lux, but the sample is too limited for a strong conclusion: Lux wins 51.9% of 79 games (95% range 41.1–62.6%).
  • Both champions' overall Support win rates predict 48.7% for Lux; the result is within the margin of error of that, so this matchup mostly reflects the two champions' general strength.
  • Lux usually wins the lane: 290 gold ahead of Alistar at 15 minutes on average (74 games with a 15-minute snapshot).
  • Lux players pick Arcane Comet far more often against Alistar: 74.8% of their other Support games, 87.3% 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 Lux and Alistar 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 Lux'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.

What Lux Changes Against Alistar

Choices Lux players make noticeably more or less often in this matchup than in their other Support games.

Best Lux Build vs Alistar

Usual Lux build (Support)

55.3% win rate · 300 games

Against Alistar

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 10 of 29 Lux games against Alistar carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Lux's standard build instead.

  • Lux usually completes Luden's Echo first, at 13.7 min (median of 55 games).
  • Alistar usually completes Locket of the Iron Solari first, at 13.5 min (median of 33 games).
  • Skill priority: E > Q > 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.
