Key takeaways
- Current data slightly favors Tristana, but the sample is too limited for a strong conclusion: Lux wins 36.4% of 44 games (95% range 23.8–51.1%).
- That is 16.4 points worse for Lux than both champions' overall Bot win rates predict (52.7%), so the matchup itself works against this pick.
- Neither side reliably wins the lane: the average gold difference at 15 minutes is 48, within the margin of error (43 games).
- Lux players pick the Q > E > W skill order far more often against Tristana: 1.3% of their other Bot games, 6.8% 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 Tristana 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.

Best Lux Build vs Tristana
Usual Lux build (Bot)
82.6% win rate · 23 games
Against Tristana
Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 11 of 27 Lux games against Tristana 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 11.1 min (median of 25 games).
- Tristana usually completes Yun Tal Wildarrows first, at 12.0 min (median of 25 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.
