Each pairing is weighed by the games behind it, so a lucky handful cannot top either list.
Pairings are only half a team. Team Comp Tuesdays builds full five-champion compositions around picks like this.
Want the written version? Our Counter Series breaks down how to actually play against champions like this, not just who wins on paper.

Taken from as high up the ladder as this pick gets played. 9 from Master and above, then down the ladder as far as Diamond — Ambessa Support is not played often enough at the top to fill 10 games on its own.

Every slot, boots and full build for Ambessa →Where these numbers come from
We read finished ranked solo queue games directly from Riot and keep a running tally. Nothing is copied from another site.
Matchups compare Ambessa against the enemy champion in the same lane, counting only games where both were actually there. The counters list pulls each matchup toward Ambessa's own win rate by 180 games' worth of it, then keeps the ones still under 50%. A matchup seen thirty times barely moves off the champion's average, and one seen a thousand times keeps close to its own number. The best and worst ADCs are ranked the same way, against Ambessa's average instead of 50%.
Every number here is followed by the games behind it, because that's what tells you how much to trust it. A win rate over a few hundred games is worth reading. The same number over thirty is mostly luck.
Recent games show what was built and who won. They never show who played. Rank is grouped (Master and up is one band), game length is rounded to five minutes, and there's no region or date on a card.
