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 Skarner and Naafiri 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 Skarner'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 Skarner Changes Against Naafiri

Only 7 games so far — too few to compare what Skarner players do in this matchup with their usual choices (needs 20).

Best Skarner Build vs Naafiri

Usual Skarner build (Jungle)

68.4% win rate · 19 games

Against Naafiri

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 0 of 7 Skarner games against Naafiri carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Skarner's standard build instead.

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.
