Top Deck Decks Performance

Play Rate
Plot
The Gini Index is a measure of heterogeneity so, in this case and in simpler terms, how much the play rates are similar. The Index goes (when normalized like here) \(\in [0,1]\) and it’s equal to 1 when there’s a single value with 100% play rate or 0 when all play rates are equal. Of course a Gini Index of 1 needs to be avoided but it’s not like the aim should be 0. As said, it’s just to add some additional tools.

Match Ups
Regarding MU, this is not the most accurate estimation you can get from my data. If you want a better picture of the current meta it would be better to look at the dedicated MU-page where I use all “Ranked” games with the current sets of buffs and nerfs. While one may object I don’t account for optimizations and differences in skills acquired during the weeks, the overall number of games / sample size makes them a better source of information. So, in case, please refer to the MU - page for a better “meta-investigation”.
Match-up Grid
The win rates on the grid are among the 10 most played champion combination.
The upper value is from all the Masters players, the bottom one only from HighDiamond.

LoR-Meta Index (LMI)
Note: Games from Master Rank only
Tier0 with LMI \(\geq\) 97.5 Tier1 with LMI \(\in [85,97.5)\) Tier2 with LMI \(\in [60,85)\) Tier3- with LMI \(<\) 60
The LMI 2 3 is an Index I developed to measure the performance of decks in the metagame. For those who are familiar with basic statistical concept I wrote a document to explain the theory behind it: , it’s very similar to vicioussyndicate (vS) Meta Score from their data reaper report. The score of each deck is not just their “strength”, it takes in consideration both play rates and win rates that’s why I prefer to say it measure the “performance”. The values range from 0 to 100 and the higher the value, the higher is the performance.
