Rare options often read “Not enough games” until more of their games come in.

How to read the numbers
Better +2.0%

The main number is how much more an option wins than the most picked one in similar games. Those are games with the same draft odds (for items, the same game state and minute), played on the same patch by players with as much experience. A +2.0% means about two more wins per 100 games. Numbers from few games are pulled toward what the option does on other champions.

±1.2

± is the marginMargin (±)The real number is very likely inside this range. More games make it narrower.. The real difference is very likely inside it. On the bar, the dot is the number and the band is the margin. The black line means no difference.

BetterWorseEvenUnclear

Better or Worse means the whole margin is on one side of zero and the difference is at least half a point. Even means we know the two are within a point of each other. Unclear means it could go either way. With Not enough games, there are too few games to say anything yet.

vs expected +1.7%

vs expected (WPA) asks whether games with the option ended better than their win chance when it was chosen. It doesn’t compare options with each other. Next to it is the win chance it’s usually taken at.

Which keystone wins more overall and in each phase

Most Conqueror games buy Stridebreaker into Experimental Hexplate or a similar bruiser pair first (54%).

Where each rune leads

Conqueror is the most picked. The others are compared with it. Stormraider's Surge is the next most picked. The Baseline row compares the two.

Olaf top in short

Over 1,559 ranked games on patches 16.19–16.20, Olaf top won 50.1% and was picked in 3% of games. Most players run Conqueror, build Stridebreaker first, Experimental Hexplate second and Death's Dance third, and buy Plated Steelcaps. Win rates come from picks and results only. Most of the games are Emerald to Master.

Everyone or mains

Mains are players whose #1 mastery champion is this one. We know the mastery of 717,000 ranked players from Platinum to Challenger. That covers about half the players in our games. Below 1,500 games by mains, the mains view shows what they pick next to everyone’s verdicts. From 1,500 games on, every number is the mains’ own.

How the tiers are made

This mark means strength. It’s the win chance a champion adds over its role’s average once we take out who plays it.

Champions are ranked on the win chance they add over their role’s average champion once we take out who plays them. A model on every game with all ten players known accounts for each player’s mastery, rank and games on the champion, and for the rest of the draft. So a champion doesn’t look stronger because one-tricks play it, or weaker because first-timers do. Tiers: S from +2%, A from +0.75%, B from −0.75%, C from −2%, D below. The “% likely” next to a tier is how likely the champion belongs in it. Under 50% means it sits near a tier border.

WPA (win probability added)

On the pages it’s labelled “vs expected”. It compares how games with the option ended with the win chance they had when it was chosen (the draft for runes and spells, the minute of purchase for items). +1.0% is about one more win per 100 games than expected. The comparison is with what players usually do from there. It can’t compare two options with each other. Because popular options make up most of what “usual” is, it understates them. Options that strong players favor also look better here than they are. Use it as a hint and let the main number decide the verdict.

Win chance against the most picked

This is how much more each option wins than the most picked one, in points of win chance. The games compared have the same draft odds or game state, the same patch and the same player experience. Numbers from few games are then pulled toward what the same option does on other champions. A number from 300 games keeps little of its size. With thousands of games, most of it stays.

More in the guide

Better, worse, even, unclear

The verdict reads the number after the pull and its 95% margin (±). Better or Worse needs the whole margin on one side of zero and a difference of at least half a point. Even means we know the two are within a point of each other. When it could go either way, the verdict is Unclear. Not enough games means too few players tried both, or the number is mostly the pull.

More in the guide

Lane, mid and late game

The difference is split by when the win chance moved: lane (0–14 min), mid game (14–25) and late game (25 to the end). The three add up to the whole game. They show when an option pays off or costs you.

More in the guide

Our pick

We pick an option over the most picked one only if it’s in 5% or more of games and reads Better. It must also stay ahead when checked on a separate half of the games. Otherwise we pick the most picked option. When a second option reads Even with it (within a point), we show both.

More in the guide

Not enough games

There are too few games to say anything yet. The margin would be wider than ±5%, or the number would be too noisy to say anything. The number appears once more games narrow the margin.

Where each rune leads

A build here is the kind of pair your first two legendary items make, read from the items’ stats. Bruiser means both give health, armor or magic resist and at least one gives damage. Burst means both give ability power and nothing that keeps you alive. Mixed is one of each. Tank, crit, lethality, damage and support pairs follow the same rule. Each build is named by its most common pair. The shares are plain counts of games. Items are bought after the rune is chosen. Two keystones compared inside one build describe those games. They don’t prove the rune caused the result.

Counter

A counter is how this lane goes after the model accounts for both champions’ overall strength, who played them (mastery, rank, games on the champion) and the rest of the draft. Lanes with few games are pulled toward zero. A strong champion beating a weak one doesn’t count as a counter. The counter uses only games where all ten players are known. It rests on fewer games than the win rate next to it.

Against the usual win rate

This is the champion’s win rate against this opponent minus its win rate over all its games in the role. It uses picks and results only. Splitting lane from late game needs games with full timelines.
