How to win lane as Hwei against Locke · 50% win rate · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Skill-based: both kits trade evenly at level 1-2 with no inherent range or cooldown edge for either side. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Skill-based: the even trade pattern continues, whoever lands their skillshots first wins the exchange. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Skill-based: still an even cooldown and combo trade with no structural advantage either way. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Skill-based: item and level trajectories remain close, so execution decides these trades. |
| Level 6 | Locke | Locke favoured: their level-6 ultimate gives them a genuine proactive all-in/engage tool that Hwei must respect specifically in this window. |
| First item | Even / skill | Skill-based: item power spikes are comparable, so whoever completes first or wins the CS race gets the edge. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Skill-based: late-game teamfight execution and positioning decide the matchup since neither kit inherently outscales the other. |
Levels 1-2 through 3-5 are an even skill matchup: both champions have comparable poke, range, and cooldowns, so the lane is decided by who lands skillshots and manages trades better, not by any inherent kit advantage.
