Vex
Computed from 114,474 ranked Solo/Duo games collected through the Riot API · patch 26.21.
| Role | Win Rate | Pick Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Mid | 51.2% | 4.7% |
Vex is banned in about 7.3% of games at this tier, one figure for the whole champion since bans happen before roles are picked. What ban rate measures.
Vex's Mid win rate is 1.2 percentage points above an even 50% — Should I Dodge's win-probability model varies by about 4.8 percentage points of standard deviation from lobby to lobby across all ranks, purely from which champions get drawn, so this gap is smaller than that noise, not solid evidence the champion is unusually strong or weak right now.
Vex is tracked in exactly one role at this tier scope, Mid — so there's no ambiguity below about which lane the rest of this page's per-tier, threat, and counters reporting describes.
Vex's Mid Build
In Emerald+ games on patch 26.22 (including games from other ranks or the previous patch, as Emerald+ on this patch alone had too few), Vex's most common Mid setup runs Flash and Ignite with Electrocute, maxes Q first, and builds Luden's Echo, Shadowflame, and Stormsurge — 0.0% win rate over 2 games.
