Missing Games

The following data is related to the the number of games missing to recreate a match.So when I could only collect either a win or a loss or both a win and a loss but not the remaining game. It is not the total number of missing games as it doesn’t account for the cases where I lack all games but that value can’t be known as it’s impossible to know whenever the round was played or not.

During the partial results is the graph is lacking I recovered all games I could up until that moment.

Decks

As this is the Seasonal Tournament let’s start with the decks/archetype informations

This is also the moment of the meta where the classification Archetype = Champion+Region shows its biggest limitation as there are an increase in tech champions (usually in single copy)

Single Decks Stats

Deck's Stats

Seasonal Tournament - Magic Disadventure - Open Rounds

Relative frequencies from all data or only lineUps with full information Source: Metadata of games collected with RiotGames API

  • Ban Rate: ratio between the number of bans and the number of matches of a deck.

\[\begin{equation} BanRate = \frac{\#ban}{\#match} \end{equation}\]

Example: 2 Line-Ups contained a Teemo/Ezreal deck, both played all 9 matches and Teemo/Ezreal was banned respectively 3 and 6 times; the ban rate would be \(\frac{(3+6)}{(9+9)} = 50\%\)

  • PlayRate: ratio between the number of times a deck appears among all lineUps (both including or not incomplete lineUps data) and the number of all decks in all lineUps.

LMI

Note: Hovering over a circle will display a deck values.

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.

Top 50 Decks with at least 50 games being played

Playrate: 3*(times a deck is being played)/#Decks in all lineUps. Example: Assuming I only have complete information of all lineUps - if there are 6 copies of Tahm Soraka in 24 Decks the playrate is 75% (18/24) as there can't be duplicates in LineUps. The value here includes incomplete lineUps. WinRate: Among the games in which a deck is being played, how many times it won. BanRate: How many times a deck has been banned among all the ban phases of all lineUps which included such deck. Example: 2 Line-Ups contained a Teemo/Ezreal deck, both played all 9 matches and Teemo/Ezreal was banned respectively 3 and 6 times; the ban rate would be (3+6)/(9+9) = 50% Source: Source: Metadata of games collected with RiotGames API Last Update: 2022-02-06 17:16:12.306955

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.

When partial results are being published, it’s not limited to the top32 but the current highest performing players collected at that point. As there are “Bye” that I can’t track the final results will never be perfect. 3
