Data
Number of (Ranked) matches analyzed 56800 or 113600 games.
Last Update: 2021-10-14 18:00
Note : following my recent analysis the following decks:
Akshan / Sivir (IO/SH)
Sivir / Zed
Akshan / Sivir / Zed
Have been aggregated into a single archetype: “ASZ - Sivir Ionia”
In addition a quick fix to account for the Rubin-baits (burn decks that pretend to be other archetypes) decks have been applied and they are called:
RubinBait - Draven / Ezreal
RubinBait - Draven / Sion
RubinBait - Caitlyn / Draven - not make from Rubin but same logic

the value may not be perfect since I lack the starting time of the game. The amount of Games to still scrap is also an estimation based on the 'position' of the game

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.

Play Rate by number of Cards
Note: currently all dual region cards have only their main region as possible value assigned. The same problem also apply to the card’s inclusion rates, with Lulu being the most notable case affected by this.

Match Ups
Note : 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, pls refer to the MU - page for a better “meta-investigation”.

Deckcodes
How to read the table:
- Play rate: How often a card is included in this class of decks / the table is order by this column.
- 3/2/1 is the relative and absolute frequency of the number of copies in the decks that plays them
- Frequencies from 50% to 100% are colored from shades of green to white to identify more easily the highest values
LoR-Meta Index (LMI)
Tier0 with LMI >= 97.5
Tier1 with LMI \(\in\) [85,97.5)
Tier2 with LMI \(\in\) [60,85)
Tier3 or lower with LMI < 60
Note: Hovering over a circle will display a deck values.
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.
