Champ select advice from your own pool

The best champion you play for this draft, with the reasons, and your own plan for the lane before you lock in.

What it does

LazyElo follows champ select in the League client. For your lane it scores every champion in your own pool against this draft and puts the best one on top, with an estimated win chance and the reasons: your win rate on it, how it does into the enemies you can see, how it fits your team and whether it's a safe blind pick.

Once it can tell who your lane opponent is, it asks for your plan against them first, and only then shows the notes you wrote earlier. You pick and lock in yourself.

Champ select advice: the recommended champion from your pool and the rest of your pool
Champ select: the champion from your own pool that fits this draft best, and why.

How it works, step by step

  1. Fill your pool

    On the Champion pool page you choose the champions you like to play in each lane: at least 10, and more is fine. The advice only ever comes from this list. If a lane is still empty after your first sync, LazyElo fills it with your own champions, and Fill from my games adds your most played champions in that lane, then the ones you have the most mastery on.

    The champion pool page: the champions you picked for mid lane, and every champion who plays that lane below
    Champion pool: at least 10 champions per lane. Champ select only ever suggests champions from this list.

  2. Champ select opens

    LazyElo reads your assigned lane from the client. When there is none, one click on the lane buttons sets it, and LazyElo remembers your last lane.

  3. It scores your pool against the draft

    Banned and picked champions drop out. For each of the others it weighs your own win rate on the champion, the champion's win rate in this lane in the games LazyElo has collected, how it does against the enemies already locked in, how it pairs with your locked teammates, how much you've played it lately, what your team is missing (magic damage, a frontline, engage) and how risky it is as a blind pick while your opponent is unknown. The sum reads as an estimated win chance.

  4. It learns what matters for you

    Every finished champ select is saved with the result of the game. After each sync LazyElo refits how much each factor counts, starting from set defaults, so over time it learns whether comfort, the counter or team fit matters most for you.

  5. You see the best pick and why

    The top pick gets the big card, with its estimated win chance and reasons in plain words, such as “Good combo with Hwei (57% in 30 games)” or “Risky as a blind pick (has clear counters)”. Two more picks sit below it, then the rest of your pool with their chances, and your build for the champion.

  6. It asks for your plan in lane

    Once you hover or lock a champion and LazyElo can tell which enemy most likely plays your lane, a card asks: what is your plan against them? You type one sentence first. Then you can open your notes on that matchup and your record in it. If the guess is less certain, the card says the enemy probably plays your lane.

  7. You pick and lock in

    LazyElo never hovers, picks, bans or locks anything, and it never imports runes or builds. It only helps you choose.

Matchups: your own notes per matchup

Matchups is a page in the app with one note per matchup: your champion, your lane and your opponent. It is what the champ select card shows after you've given your plan.

  • Three short fields

    My lane plan, What I watch for, and What worked / what didn't. Everything saves as you type, only on this computer.

  • Your record next to it

    Games, wins and losses, when you last played the matchup and your average KDA in it, plus your CS and gold difference at 10 minutes from the games with a timeline.

  • How others did

    How other players in your stored games did in the same matchup, with the number of games, so you can see when it is only a rough guide.

  • Where to start

    A list of matchups you play often but have no note for yet.

  • An AI tip, if you ask

    Three short tips from general League knowledge, without numbers: those come from your own games. AI is included in Pro, or works on Plus with your own Anthropic or OpenAI key.

Why it asks for your plan first

Thinking of your plan before you read your notes is a small self-test, and that makes the plan stick better than reading the notes first. So in champ select the card asks, and only then shows what you wrote.

The card shows only static information from before the game: what you wrote between games and your record in the matchup.

Not sure who beats whom? The LoL counters pages list each champion's hardest matchups per lane, from ranked games at LazyElo players' elo.

Who it's for

  • Players with a small pool

    You want to know which of your own champions fits this draft, not which champion is strongest in the world.

  • Players who blind pick a lot

    You get a warning when a pick has clear counters, and a nudge toward a safer one from your pool.

  • Players who keep losing the same lane

    You walk into the matchup with a plan you wrote yourself, and your record shows whether it is working.

  • Not for you if

    you want runes and builds imported into the client. LazyElo shows your build; you set it yourself.

Free or Plus

The free plan shows the best 3 picks from your pool, without the reasons, and has the champion pool and the tier lists. Plus (€4.99 a month or €39 a year) adds the reasons, the rest of your pool with their chances and Matchups. Every new account gets 7 days of Plus free, without a payment card.

The loop between games

Four pages in the app that feed each other. A death in Review becomes a plan in Focus, your plan per opponent waits in Matchups, and Rank & sessions shows whether your LP moves. Then the next game goes back to Review.

  1. Step 1

    Review

    Each death on the map, three questions, one plan.

  2. Step 2

    Focus

    One if-then plan per role, measured for 15 games.

  3. Step 3

    Matchups (this page)

    Your own plan per opponent, asked in champ select.

  4. Step 4, then back to 1

    Rank & sessions

    Your LP per game and per session.

Questions and answers

What champion should I play?

The one from your own pool that fits this draft. LazyElo scores the champions you play against the picks you can see: your win rate on each, how it does into the enemies already locked in, how it pairs with your team and how risky it is as a blind pick. It shows the best one first, with the reasons.

What determines a counter pick?

In LazyElo's numbers, how much better or worse a champion does against a given enemy in your lane than it usually does, measured in the games LazyElo has collected. In champ select that is one factor next to your own win rate on the champion and the rest of the draft, so a counter you hardly play doesn't come out on top just for being a counter.

What's the best drafting tool for League?

It depends on what you want from it. LazyElo only ever suggests champions you already play, and asks for your plan against your lane opponent. If you want runes and builds imported into your client for you, other apps do that and LazyElo doesn't; our comparisons say which.

How many champions should be in my pool?

LazyElo asks for at least 10 per lane, so it can still suggest something after bans and picks. You can still play mostly two or three of them: the advice counts how much you have played each one recently.

Does it work in ranked?

Yes. The advice uses the champions on screen and your own games, in Normal, Solo/Duo, Flex, Swiftplay, Quickplay and Clash. ARAM and ARAM Mayhem get their own pick help. LazyElo doesn't look up the other players until the loading screen.

Is the champ select helper free?

The free plan shows the best 3 picks from your pool. The reasons behind each pick, the rest of your pool and Matchups are part of Plus (€4.99 a month or €39 a year). Every new account gets 7 days of Plus free, without a payment card.
