Key takeaways

  • Current data slightly favors Xin Zhao, but the sample is too limited for a strong conclusion: Xin Zhao wins 58.3% of 48 games (95% range 44.3–71.2%).
  • Both champions' overall Jungle win rates predict 56.3% for Xin Zhao; the result is within the margin of error of that, so this matchup mostly reflects the two champions' general strength.
  • Jayce usually wins the lane: 396 gold ahead of Xin Zhao at 15 minutes on average (40 games with a 15-minute snapshot).
  • Xin Zhao players pick Gustwalker Hatchling + Oracle Lens far more often against Jayce: 0.7% of their other Jungle games, 4.9% 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 Xin Zhao and Jayce 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 Xin Zhao'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 Xin Zhao Build vs Jayce

Usual Xin Zhao build (Jungle)

87.5% win rate · 16 games

Against Jayce

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 10 of 24 Xin Zhao games against Jayce carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Xin Zhao's standard build instead.

  • Xin Zhao usually completes Gustwalker Hatchling first, at 0.1 min (median of 24 games).
  • Jayce usually completes Scorchclaw Pup first, at 0.1 min (median of 40 games).
  • Skill priority: W > E > 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.
