Final board
The whole board at level 9, where most of its games end. The core — the units on most of this family’s boards — at the star level and with the items they were measured holding; then the flex slots, dashed, with the unit its boards put there most. A slot no unit holds on a quarter of its boards is open. Under a unit, or: the champions its boards play in that slot instead, measured on its level-9 boards this patch.
Riot's match data records no positions, so this board is placed by rule from each champion's attack range: melee in front, ranged behind, and the carries holding the most items in the back corners. The level buttons show the board at each level: the dashed ones are planned by rule (see How it’s played), the rest measured.

2Not a reroll comp: nothing is 3-starred on even 1 board in 5.
How these rows are made
Level 8 and up are the boards this comp’s games ended on, all ranks, the last 14 days. Riot’s match data keeps only that last board, so the levels below are planned by one rule from this comp’s own units and traits and Riot’s shop odds, and marked plan — how the rule works. Hover a trait badge for what it does. Rows marked real are the boards of the games that went out at that level holding four or more of this comp’s units — real boards on the way to it, not its own games.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tristana |  Guinsoo's Rageblade | #4.52 | -0.34 | 227 |
| Elder Dragon |  Infinity Edge | #4.69 | -0.17 | 212 |
| Lillia | Gargoyle Stoneplate | #4.73 | -0.13 | 187 |
Variations
Other boards this comp ends on. Each row is a version’s usual final board and what it plays instead of this comp’s own board at that level; all of them count in the numbers above. A 2 on a portrait: that unit takes two team slots.

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.
Augments that fit
What each augment grants, set against what this comp measured: the same rule the overlay uses when it reads the three on offer. A measured line is the comp’s own placement at a trait level; a line by rule is a fact about the comp, such as the damage its carry is built for.
MeasuredThe comp’s own placement at a trait’s levels, beside the augments that give the trait.
Elderwood 3 averages 4.74 here, against 5.21 at Elderwood 5 (447 boards)
Nature's ShelterFae 4 averages 4.39 here, against 5.78 at Fae 2 (892 boards)
Embiggen
Riot’s match-v1 data does not report which augments a player took, so no augment has a number of its own on this page or anywhere else on the site. The augment reference lists what each one grants.
