Methodology

  • Confidence-adjusted rankingRows sort on delta pulled toward zero by games / (games + 852), so a 40-game result cannot outrank a 300-game one. The figures printed are the raw counts.
  • What the delta meansDelta is how far the opponent sits from their OWN overall win rate in this matchup. A matchup is the two champions in the same position on opposite teams, counted over every lane they met in.
