Alright, so I’ve been messing around with this whole “Gwen counters” thing in League of Legends lately, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I heard some chatter online about who’s good against Gwen and who she stomps, so I figured I’d dive in and see for myself.
First off, I started playing a bunch of games as Gwen, just to get a feel for her strengths and weaknesses. I noticed she’s pretty strong against some popular picks, but man, she really struggles against others. That’s when I started keeping notes.
I played a ton of matches, like, more than 3,000 I think and wrote down who I was up against each time. Then I started digging into the data. Turns out, there’s a whole bunch of websites and tools out there that track this kind of stuff, showing win rates, and all that jazz. It was overwhelming at first, but I got the hang of it.
From what I gathered, champions like Olaf, Cassiopeia, Kennen, Tryndamere, and Illaoi are pretty rough matchups for Gwen. When I played against them, it felt like an uphill battle the whole time. On the flip side, Gwen seems to do pretty well against champs like Rumble, Galio, and Kled. Those games felt much smoother.
- Olaf, Cassiopeia, Kennen, Tryndamere, and Illaoi: Hard counters.
- Rumble, Galio, and Kled: Easier matchups.
I also stumbled upon some discussions online where people were talking about their own experiences. One guy mentioned that Gwen wins against K’Sante more than half the time, which I thought was pretty interesting. So, I tested it out myself, playing a bunch of games as Gwen against K’Sante. And yeah, he was right, I did win more often than not.
Key Findings
After all this experimenting and data-crunching, I put together a little guide on who counters Gwen and who she’s strong against. It’s not perfect, but it’s a good starting point if you’re trying to figure out how to play against her or who to pick when you see her on the other team.
So yeah, that’s my little adventure into the world of Gwen counters. It’s been fun, frustrating, and educational all at the same time. If you’re a League player, I definitely recommend doing some experimenting of your own. You might be surprised at what you find!
