Who wins the matchup, and when
Source: mobilelegends.comRanked pairings, past 7 days
Change in Jawhead's win rate (in percentage points) when that hero is on the opposing team or on Jawhead's own team, across all ranks. Based on the official ranked statistics; heroes with very few games can swing a lot, and a counter at one rank can disappear at another.
Read the points as wins per 100 games: +3.0 means Jawhead wins about 3 more games out of every 100 with that hero than Jawhead usually wins, and −3.0 means about 3 fewer. Hover a number for the exact wording.
The small bars show Jawhead's win rate in that matchup by game length, from 10-12 minutes (left) to 20+ (right), green above 50% and red below; the two numbers are the first and the last. “3/5 ranks” counts the rank brackets where the hero is on the same list. The official data gives no game counts, so a bar from a rare matchup can be noise, and games under 10 minutes are left out because they swing the most.

What this does not know
- This says what to look out for. It does not claim that any item wins the matchup.
- Skill tags are the game's short labels; the skills themselves are not read in detail, so a hero can do more than their tags show.
- Damage type is a guess from the items in tracked builds, and a hero with no tracked build falls back to their class.
