Solo Laner Matchup Chart
Added 2025-08-06 22:27:15 +0000 UTCHey Guys, a Patreon subscriber reminded me of this amazing Solo Laner Matchup Chart by JHow (an ex HGC pro match commentator for many years). I thought this was an amazing resource and too good to not share with more people so I am giving it more publicity here.
You can use this chart to see how favorable or unfavorable any solo lane matchup is, and see the most important tips for the matchup in the second tab of the excel spreadsheet.
I looked over the numbers and tips and almost everything looks fairly accurate even though its been quite a while. If you have any further questions on what to do in a certain matchup, you can leave a comment here and I'll answer or clarify it in further detail.

One thing to note is it does not include Hogger, so here is some information for Hogger:
Most matchups are unfavorable into Hogger. especially a Hogger that goes full passive (laning) regen build. On three lane maps its usually best to soak as fast as possible and avoid interacting with Hogger too much.
Hogger has cast animation and delay on both his D and W, so you can always react to these. Try to always move when you see him casting and never get hit by a D+Q combo or a W.
Do not let Hogger spin on both the minion wave and your hero, force him to choose one or the other so he doesn't get double value.
Be mindful of Hogger's rage bar. It falls off fast once he stops attacking so if Hogger is at full rage but has already cleared the minion wave, don't let him autoattack you (also in some cases dont auto attack him either) because those options will keep his rage up. He will lose all that rage very quickly and become much weaker and you can choose to fight him once all the rage is gone.
If you are on a 1v1 lane and just want to win vs Hogger (ie Braxis top lane) heroes like Qhira, AA Chen, Leoric can potentially beat him in a 1v1.
Comments
Arthas can def beat Junkrat, Fenix is a closer matchup that will depend on skill heavily. These melee vs ranged matchup in general require heavy maneuvering in lane and hugging bushes to not take any ranged poke damage before engaging and making sure you land your root and do a big chunk of damage Qhira right now is also a heavy skill matchup, the best options are usually something that can dodge the Qhira E as if the E lands she wins every 1v1. Leoric is a good example, you can press E to dodge her E Arthas is strong in a 1v1 but other heroes that are very strong on Braxis 1v1 include Artanis, Qhira, Rexxar, Fenix, Thrall.

2025-09-03 22:25:31 +0000 UTCThis chart is mostly needed for me because of map Braxis Holdout. But i think thats not updated or something, there is some heroes that can beat their opponents, but graph saying they not. Like : Arthas can beat Phoenix + Junkrat on braxis really easily, there is being said he can't. + There is not qhira. Who can beat qhira instead of Arthas, And can actually Yrel beat arthas? All saying right now arthas is strongest champ on Braxis 1v1. What you think HotsFan mate? Ty for response.

2025-08-31 11:59:24 +0000 UTCDehaka is weak early game as you need to collect essence first, In a 1v1 on a 2 lane map that matchup is probably 60-40 favored for thrall. On a 3 lane map where you could outsoak thrall it would be 60-40 for dehaka just by outsoaking. Some tips for 1v1 braxis there would be do get full essence before trying to trade on the point. You can also trade most of your lifebar vs him and then hearth and Z back. So you should have 3 lifebars to trade with, your normal one, another one with D, another one with Z. Hitting tongue and autoattackingg him the entire time during tongue is very important too, its unwinnable if you are missing too many tongues.
