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.

Each playrate is stacked upon the other with the decks with the highest overall play-rate (the written value) being at the bottom.
Win rates of the most played combination of champions. Play Rate \(\geq 1\%\) in at least one of the servers.
Format changed to replicate the one used in the Meta - page
Top Win rates of the top10 best performing least played combination of champions. Play rate \(\in [0.1%, 1%)\)
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”.
The win rates on the grid are among the 10 most played champion combination.
