How it’s played

Where this comp’s games end, and its board at each of those levels — a unit marked + is new since the level above. All ranks, the last 14 days: 1,236 games. Riot’s match data keeps only the board a game ended on, so there is no stage-by-stage roll plan here.

Not a reroll comp: nothing is 3-starred on even 1 board in 5.

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.

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.
