A drop like this usually traces back to direct nerfs, item changes, or a meta shift toward unfavorable matchups, so respect the counter picks more than you did last patch. At C tier, Hwei is a mains-only pick this patch: expect to out-knowledge opponents rather than out-stat them.

Champion select decides a lot of Hwei Mid games. The hardest matchups this patch are Locke (34.9% win rate for Hwei) and Lissandra (37.8% win rate for Hwei): consider banning one or holding your pick until the opponent locks in. On the other side, Viktor (55.7%) and TwistedFate (55.6%) are the matchups to look for, where Hwei wins the lane more often than not at Emerald+.
