Taken from as high up the ladder as this pick gets played. 5 from Master and above, then down the ladder as far as Emerald — Blitzcrank Mid is not played often enough at the top to fill 10 games on its own.

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 Blitzcrank against the enemy champion in the same lane, counting only games where both were actually there. The counters list pulls each matchup toward Blitzcrank'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.

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.

Built from real ranked games this patch. We keep the running totals, never the games themselves.
