What the Data Means
In Top, this is Sett versus Anivia — a fighter/tank hybrid against a mage. Over 172 ranked games on patch 16.13.1, Sett closes out 45.4% of them. Sitting 4.6 points below the 50% line marks Anivia as a genuine problem pick for Sett.
Range decides much of the early game: Anivia attacks from 600 units, Sett from 125. Anivia can poke for free, so Sett has to pick a moment instead of trading blindly.
Sett pressures through physical damage; Anivia through magic. Sett opens on 670 health and 33 armour, Anivia on 550 and 19. 14 armour of separation tilts level-one trades toward Sett. At full build levels the gap widens to 2608 HP versus 2114, favouring Sett. Sett also hits harder before items — 60 AD to 51. Sett moves quicker at base (340 against 325), which shows up on roams.
Haymaker (W) and Glacial Storm (R) are usually what decide a trade between Sett and Anivia. Whoever spends The Show Stopper or Glacial Storm first hands the other a window. Note the resource bars too: Grit versus Mana.
Anivia is the more demanding of the two to pilot (10/10 versus 2/10), which quietly shapes the win rate. Everything comes from Emerald+ solo queue and refreshes without manual input.
