Play Rate

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) [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.

Day by day

Each playrate is stacked upon the other with the decks with the highest overall play-rate (the written value) being at the bottom.

An “updated” version of the old format. I don’t really find it useful (a bit cool, but not useful) and still most likely leave it

It display both daily aggregated data and hourly (background) data

Win Rates

Win rates of the most played combination of champions. Play Rate 1% in at least one of the servers.

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”.

MatchUp values from Ranked games of the player who attended the last Seasonal Tournament Order of the Archetypes based on the playrate. Source: Metadata of games collected with RiotGames API

LoR-Meta Index (LMI)

Note: Games from Master Rank only

Tier0 with LMI 97.5 Tier1 with LMI [85,97.5) Tier2 with LMI [60,85) Tier3- with LMI < 60

The LMI

1 2 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.
