Every figure shows its source. Where a source is missing, the number is a placeholder — and it is never written as fact.

LoL on GamGem — common questions

What does GamGem cover for League of Legends?

19 sections: Live Streams, News and analysis, Champions, Tier List, ARAM and Runes, and 13 more. Each one is a database rather than an article — you can filter it, compare rows inside it, and see which source every figure came from.

Which patch is this LoL data from?

Everything on this hub describes patch 26.20. The version is printed on the page rather than assumed, because a figure from a previous one is not a slightly old figure — it describes a different game.

Are the LoL win rates measured or estimated?

Counted, in a preview. Win, pick and ban rates, builds, runes, spells and matchups are counted by GamGem from the publisher's own ranked match records — a one-time snapshot, with its size and dates printed beside the figures, published while our production access is reviewed. What that snapshot cannot hold — skill order, the early/mid/late curve, ARAM — is still an estimate and is labelled as one where it appears.

When was League of Legends released?

27 October 2009. That is the date the studio itself published; where a game has no announced date, this site prints no date at all rather than an estimate.
