KR vs EUW LoL Meta: Champions That Split in 26.22

The KR vs EUW LoL meta comparison in 26.22 rests on a thin EUW sample. Only 13 champion and role pairs have at least 200 games on both servers, and no pair has 500+ games on the EUW side. The largest gap is support Lulu: 51.7% in KR over 1,403 games and 46.6% in EUW over 307 games.

The gap column shows KR minus EUW win rate. Because the EUW sample is 2,252 ranked games against 12,343 in KR, read every row with caution. For the KR role list, see our LoL 26.22 tier list.

KR vs EUW LoL meta: picks that currently win more in KR

The table is sorted by win rate gap. Every EUW count in this table is under 500 games, so each row carries a caution note.

GamerPapers data: patch 26.22, ranked matches by server: KR 12,343, EUW 2,252

Lulu: the widest gap, with a small EUW sample

Lulu sits in S+ tier as a support pick. In GamerPapers KR data it has a 51.7% win rate over 1,403 games. Its pick rate is 11.4%. Its ban rate is 14.9%; that figure is champion-wide, not role-specific. In patch 26.21 it was S+ tier. The win rate change is +1.8 pts. Average KDA is 3.03.

Among matchups with 50+ games, Lulu does best against Leona (65 games, 61.5%), Karma (75 games, 52.0%), Yuumi (63 games, 50.8%). Its hardest matchups (50+ games) are Blitzcrank (53 games, 39.6%), Lux (69 games, 44.9%), Seraphine (59 games, 47.5%).

• Runes: Sorcery (Summon Aery, Manaflow Band, Transcendence, Scorch) + Resolve (Revitalize, Bone Plating). Used in 854 games with a 51.9% win rate.
• Common items: Ardent Censer (in 78.5% of games, 53.1% win rate), Mikael's Blessing (in 44.3% of games, 56.9% win rate), Moonstone Renewer (in 36.1% of games, 53.6% win rate).
• Boots: Ionian Boots of Lucidity (in 89.0% of games).
• Summoner spells: Flash + Heal (in 90.2% of games).

Lulu is S+ in KR over 1,403 games. The EUW side of the same pair has 307 games, which is under our 500-game highlight bar. We report the 5.1-point gap because it is the largest in this extract, not because the EUW number is settled.

Viego, Ezreal and Nautilus

Jungle Viego shows a 3.5-point gap (938 KR games, 200 EUW games). Bot lane Ezreal is 2.1 points higher in KR (2,338 vs 293 games). Support Nautilus is 1.8 points higher in KR (1,613 vs 339 games). In each case the KR side is large and the EUW side is not.

Picks that currently win more in EUW

Champion	Role	Tier (KR / EUW)	Win rate (KR / EUW)	Gap	Pick rate (KR / EUW)	Ban rate (KR / EUW)	Games (KR / EUW)
Thresh (small sample, read with caution)	Support	S / S	50.7% / 53.2%	-2.5 pts	13.0% / 11.8%	13.9% / 8.5%	1,604 / 265
Kai'Sa (small sample, read with caution)	Bot (ADC)	S+ / S	51.9% / 54.0%	-2.1 pts	27.2% / 19.9%	6.5% / 2.4%	3,358 / 448
Yunara (small sample, read with caution)	Bot (ADC)	A / A	50.0% / 50.5%	-0.4 pts	9.2% / 14.1%	4.5% / 5.7%	1,133 / 317

Thresh and Kai'Sa

Support Thresh wins 50.7% over 1,604 KR games and 53.2% over 265 EUW games (-2.5 points). Kai'Sa sits in S+ in KR at 51.9% over 3,358 games and at 54.0% over 448 EUW games (-2.1 points). Both EUW counts stay under 500.

Only three pairs appear on the EUW-better list. That is a function of the small shared pool, not a claim that the two servers are nearly identical overall.

Why this comparison is narrower than usual

A pair enters the table only when both servers have at least 200 games. EUW has 2,252 ranked games in this 26.22 cut, so most champions never reach that bar. The KR vs EUW LoL meta view will get clearer as the EUW sample grows.

Ban rate is champion-wide on both servers.

Data and method

This article uses ranked solo/duo matches from the KR server only. The sample mixes KR Challenger and Grandmaster games collected by GamerPapers with matches from player profiles looked up on the site (all ranks). It is not a random sample of the server and not professional-play data.

The numbers in this article come from 14,595 ranked solo/duo games on the KR server. Lists include champion and role pairs with at least 200 games. Pairs under 500 games carry a "small sample, read with caution" note in the tables. We do not feature them in the title or the intro.

Ban rate is champion-wide, not per role: bans happen before roles are assigned, so every role row of a champion shows the same value.

Comparisons with the previous patch refer to 26.21. Its KR sample was 141,387 games; the 26.22 sample is still smaller, so gaps can move as more games land. The game client shows this patch as 16.22; Riot's official name is 26.22. The KR sample is 12,343 games and the EUW sample is 2,252 games.

For the full live table, see the GamerPapers LoL stats page. Patch changes are sourced from Riot Games patch 26.22 notes. For a short recap, see our 26.22 patch notes news post.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which pick shows the biggest KR vs EUW gap?

Support Lulu has the largest gap, at 5.1 points, but the EUW side has only 307 games. No pair has 500+ games on both servers in this cut.

Why are there only 13 compared pairs?

A pair needs 200 games on both servers. The EUW 26.22 sample is still 2,252 games, so few champions qualify.

Does Kai'Sa perform the same in both regions?

Not exactly. Kai'Sa wins 51.9% over 3,358 KR games and 54.0% over 448 EUW games. The EUW count is under 500, so that gap can still move.

Is ban rate role-specific here?

No. Ban rate is champion-wide on both servers.
