| Stage | Favoured | Why |

| Level 1 | Locke | Locke dictates the level-1 tempo, so you concede the opening trades. |
| Level 2 | Locke | He keeps the level-2 edge and can open a trade on his terms. |
| Level 3 | Locke | Level 3 stays his as his early pattern outpaces your setup. |
| Levels 4-5 | Locke | Levels 4-5 remain his, forcing you to farm safe rather than contest. |
| Level 6 | Locke | Locke's level-6 power beats you in a straight lane duel. |
| First item | Locke | His first-item spike lands ahead of yours, keeping the lane his. |
| Two+ items | Locke | Even at two-plus items he holds the solo edge, so you group to win instead. |
Locke holds the advantage from the opening levels, so respect his tempo and play for farm over trades. Keep the ball on yourself for the shield, last-hit at range with Q, and don't hand him an opening by walking up into an unfavourable exchange.
