How to win lane as Ahri against Locke · 50% win rate · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | No matchup data exists yet, so early trades are decided by fundamentals and information gathering rather than a known kit edge. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Still an even, skill-based matchup absent specific data on the opposing kit. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Same uncertainty continues — treat this as a fair fight decided by execution. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | No clear advantage either way heading into the level 4-5 power spikes. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Ultimates arrive for both sides with no known asymmetry, keeping the all-in fight even. |
| First item | Even / skill | First items complete for both champions without a known edge, so it remains a skill matchup. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late-game teamfight value is unproven for this opponent, so treat it as an even, fundamentals-driven fight. |
There isn't enough matchup data on Locke to call a clear early-game favorite, so play this as a standard skill matchup — trade when you have wave state and cooldown advantage, and avoid committing Charm until you understand their engage pattern.
