How to win lane as Locke against Aurora · 50% win rate · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Even skillshot poke at 1 with no engage — pure skill. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At 2 it's still a Q-poke exchange with W as escape — even. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Neither has a kill combo at 3, so trades stay skill-based. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through 4-5 her blink and your poke keep the lane even. |
| Level 6 | Locke | Your level 6 all-in beats her zoning R, favoring you. |
| First item | Locke | Your first-item spike out-tempos her farm-scale plan, favoring you. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late fights hinge on baiting her E and W, keeping it skill-dependent. |
Levels 1-4 are an even skillshot lane: Aurora's Q chips you on the trade and her W blink lets her escape punishes, so dodge her poke and contest CS without over-extending into her mobility. Neither of you has a clean kill setup yet, so play the wave and look for small trades.
