Camille vs Locke Counter Pick

355 games isn’t a huge sample by matchup standards, so treat the 56.9% win rate for Camille on patch 16.13.1 as a real lean rather than a settled verdict — but the direction it points is worth understanding.

Both champions share the same 125 attack range and lean on mobility rather than sustained poke, which turns the lane into a duel of engage windows. Locke’s passive, Silver Stake, adds bonus magic damage on-hit that scales up as the target’s health drops, rewarding him for extending a fight rather than ending it fast — the opposite of what Camille wants. Camille’s own Precision Protocol can be recast for a short window after the first hit, dealing significantly more damage on the second activation, which favors a quick burst before Locke’s damage ramps up.

Purgatory, Locke’s ultimate, throws a binding artifact that can execute low-health targets and grants him extra power for sealing away champions, so Camille wants to avoid extending trades into ultimate range. At level 18 Camille edges Locke slightly in health, 2,333 to 2,508 favoring Locke actually, but Camille’s higher base attack damage and Adaptive Defenses shield give her the faster early trades. Full kits: Camille, Locke.
