Questions and answers

Does Diana counter Malzahar?

Not in our data on patch 26.21: Malzahar does not have Diana among its worst three matchups in any lane with at least 8 games. That can mean the matchup is close, or that it has too few games here yet; the page says which numbers it rests on.

Does Malzahar counter Diana?

Yes, in the mid lane on patch 26.21: Diana is among the opponents it loses to most, with at least 8 games in the matchup and a win rate below 50% after it is pulled toward 50%, in the games of LazyElo players at their own elo. Up to three such opponents are listed per champion and lane; Malzahar is one of Diana's.

How many games are behind Diana vs Malzahar?

5,484 ranked games on patch 26.21 in total; in the mid lane Diana has 223 of them and Malzahar 467. A matchup is only called a counter from 8 games between the two, and the data keeps the lists, not the count per pair.

Where is the win rate of Diana vs Malzahar?

Not on this page, on purpose. The shared data behind the site holds each champion's own tier, win rate and games per lane and the list of opponents it does worst against, not the win rate of every pair. Showing a number the data does not hold would be a guess, so the page shows which side the matchup falls on and both champions' own lane numbers instead.

Play Diana vs Malzahar with a plan you wrote yourself

In champ select LazyElo weighs this matchup against your own record on each champion in your pool and says why it suggests a pick. Once it knows your lane opponent it asks for your plan, then shows your notes and your record. You still pick and lock yourself.
