Variations

Cores close enough to this one to be the same comp. Each line is what that version plays instead, how it placed and the games behind it; all of them are counted in the numbers above.

…and 138 smaller versions, 13,112 games between them. All of them are already counted in the numbers above; they are left off because no one of them is played often enough to plan around.

Items

The three items this comp’s carry was measured holding most often, the placement of the boards it held them on, and the difference against the comp’s own average. Every board of the family, all ranks.

Champion	Item	Avg Place	vs comp	Games
Malphite	Gargoyle Stoneplate	#4.79	-0.23	26,308
Malphite	Warmogs Armor	#4.79	-0.24	13,937

What each tier of this comp’s own traits was worth on its boards. The small number under each average is how many boards sat at that tier.

By bracket

Diamond, Master, Grandmaster and Challenger against the whole sample. Each board carries the tier of its own player where the sampler held it.

Trend

Avg Place on each of the last 7 days. The bars are scaled to the range shown, so the shape is the comparison and the figure under each bar is the day.

Also played

Families sharing at least 4 core units with this one — the same board taken a different way.

Augments

Riot’s match-v1 data does not report which augments a player took, so there is no augment number on this page and none anywhere else on the site. The augment reference lists what each one grants.
