Hwei Mid matchup tips

  1. Hwei vs Malzahar Mid - Hwei can match Malzahar's wave clear with Subject: Disaster(QE), limiting Malzahar's usual lane priority. Hwei's utility then gives him more impact in early jungle skirmishes and midgame objective fights, as Hwei players describe for this matchup.
  2. Hwei vs Lux Mid - Lux's longer reach and stronger Lucent Singularity(E) wave pressure let her poke Hwei while making him choose whether to dodge or spend spells matching the wave. Light Binding(Q) can still catch him through minions, so the wave is not a reliable shield.
  3. Hwei vs Galio Mid - Save EQ for Galio's Justice Punch(E) and keep minions from standing between you and his dash path so the fear can connect. Poke with Q while holding that escape tool.
  4. Hwei vs LeBlanc Mid - Keep the wave pushed so LeBlanc has to spend spells on minions, but ward before stepping beyond mid lane because her gank setup is dangerous. Hold EQ when she still has W available and try to fear her committed entry.
  5. Hwei vs Ekko Mid - Hold your E control for Ekko's dash instead of throwing EQ early; if he commits onto you, place EW at your feet to catch or root him as he arrives.
  6. Hwei vs Mel Mid - Push and poke as Mel approaches the wave instead of trading in the middle of lane. Bait Rebuttal with a low-commitment cast, then commit your ultimate or all-in only after W is down.
  7. Hwei vs Twisted Fate Mid - Keep a safe gap when Twisted Fate cycles cards and punish him if he walks up for Gold Card range. Save EQ to stop a close approach, then use your range to pressure the wave.
  8. Hwei vs Naafiri Mid - Once Naafiri reaches level 6, save Grim Visage(EQ) for her Packmates' Pursuit(R) and aim it along her dash toward you; she leads the pack during the charge, so the dogs do not block the fear.

How these matchup statistics are calculated

Counter and synergy statistics use Ranked Solo/Duo games, exclude matches shorter than 600 seconds, and group results by patch window, region, rank scope, and champion role.

Pairwise pages use a rolling three-patch window and compare observed win rate with a log-odds expected win rate based on each champion's role-adjusted baseline; listed pairs require at least 1,000 games.
