How this matchup is measured

The big number is the raw win rate. Next to it stands the adjusted one: small samples are pulled towards the champion's own average, so a lucky run cannot look like a counter. The difference column compares the matchup with that average, because a champion that wins 48 percent of all its games looks weak in every matchup. The laning rows are measured between the two laners only, without the noise of the other eight players.
