Whether you’re climbing the ranked ladder or just playing casually with friends, one of the simplest yet most powerful metrics to evaluate your performance in League of Legends is your win rate. It offers a snapshot of your effectiveness across games and can help you make decisions about which champions to main, which roles suit you best, and whether you’re improving over time.
But how exactly do you check your win rate in League of Legends? Riot Games doesn’t make this metric particularly prominent in the in-client experience—especially not in detail—so players often turn to third-party tools. This article breaks down the best ways to find your win rate, why it matters, and how to use the data to improve.
What Is Win Rate and Why Should You Care?
Your win rate is the percentage of games you’ve won out of the total number you’ve played. For instance, if you’ve played 100 ranked games and won 60, your win rate is 60%. It’s one of the most straightforward ways to measure performance over time.
Why it matters:
- Identify strong champions: A high win rate with certain champions might signal that you’re particularly effective with them.
- Track progress: As you learn new roles or strategies, your win rate can confirm whether you’re improving.
- Optimize your climb: Many high-elo players focus on their win rate more than the number of games played.
Using the League of Legends Client
The in-game client provides a basic overview of your performance:
- Open the LoL client and log into your account.
- Click on your profile icon in the top right.
- Select the “Stats” tab.
- Here, you can view your current season’s performance in ranked games, including win/loss records per champion and role.
Limitations:
- The client doesn’t show total win rate across all seasons or provide filters like patch-specific data or role-specific breakdowns.
- Data is only available for the current season and recent matches.
What’s a Good Win Rate in League of Legends?
- <45%: You may want to reassess your champion pool, mechanics, or map awareness.
- 50%: Average. You’re winning as much as you’re losing.
- 55–60%: Solid. This indicates consistent advantage over the average player.
- 60%+: Excellent. Often associated with smurfs or highly skilled mains.
How to Use Your Win Rate to Improve
Once you know your win rate, it’s time to act on it:
- Stick to your strongest champs: If you’re at 65% win rate with one champ and 45% with another, it’s clear which should be your go-to.
- Review losing streaks: Use match history to identify patterns. Are you dying too often? Falling behind in CS?
- Set micro-goals: Aim to improve win rate in specific areas, like top lane performance or jungle control.
Final Thoughts
Win rate is not the only metric that matters, but it’s an essential part of understanding your League of Legends performance. By checking it regularly—and combining it with other stats like KDA, vision score, and objective control—you can evolve from just playing the game to mastering it. And remember: win rate doesn’t define you—but how you respond to it just might.
