  • That is 5.8 points better for Xayah than both champions' overall Bot win rates predict (52.8%), 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 107, within the margin of error (312 games).
  • Xayah players pick Exhaust + Flash far more often against Lucian: 25.0% of their other Bot games, 38.7% 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 Xayah and Lucian 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 Xayah'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 Xayah Build vs Lucian

Usual Xayah build (Bot)

59.4% win rate · 1,508 games

Against Lucian

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 17 of 220 Xayah games against Lucian carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Xayah's standard build instead.

  • Xayah usually completes Yun Tal Wildarrows first, at 11.4 min (median of 215 games).
  • Lucian usually completes Essence Reaver first, at 10.8 min (median of 280 games).
  • Skill priority: E > W > Q — 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.
