How to win lane as Locke against Aurelion Sol · 50% win rate · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Both farming with no engage at 1 keeps it even skill. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At 2 it's still a stackless poke exchange with no all-in — even. |
| Level 3 | Locke | At 3 you out-trade his immobile, stackless early, favoring you. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through 4-5 his farm scaling catches up, evening the trades again. |
| Level 6 | Locke | Your level 6 all-in beats his pre-stack R zoning, favoring you. |
| First item | Even / skill | At first item his stacks close the gap and trades even back out. |
| Two+ items | Aurelion Sol | With two-plus items his stacked Q and giant ult out-scale you. |
Levels 1-2 are even but pressured — Aurelion Sol just wants to farm and stack, so contest CS and poke his short-range Q channel while he can't fight back. Don't let him free-farm comfortably, because every stack is late-game power.
