Key takeaways

  • Current data slightly favors Tristana, but the sample is too limited for a strong conclusion: Tristana wins 63.6% of 44 games (95% range 48.9–76.2%).
  • That is 16.4 points better for Tristana than both champions' overall Bot win rates predict (47.3%), so the matchup itself favors this pick — not just champion strength.
  • Neither side reliably wins the lane: the average gold difference at 15 minutes is 48, within the margin of error (43 games).
  • Tristana players pick Magical Footwear much less often against Lux: 21.7% 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 Tristana and Lux 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 Tristana'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 Tristana Changes Against Lux

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

Best Tristana Build vs Lux

Usual Tristana build (Bot)

83.3% win rate · 18 games

Against Lux

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 6 of 30 Tristana games against Lux carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Tristana's standard build instead.

  • Tristana usually completes Yun Tal Wildarrows first, at 12.0 min (median of 25 games).
  • Lux usually completes Luden's Echo first, at 11.1 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.
