Final board
The whole board at level 8, 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.









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.

How it’s played
The board at every level from 4, with what each level adds and sells. From level 8 up it is measured over 675 games; below that it is planned.
Not 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.
Contested?
How this comp placed by how many of the other seven players in the lobby held Nidalee or Malphite, over 284 games of this patch. We keep all eight boards of every game, so this is measured, not guessed; part of the gap is the lobby itself, so read it as how it placed, not only why.
| Others holding it | Avg Place | Share of games |
|---|---|---|
| 1 other player | #4.37 | 28% |
| 2 or more | #4.57 | 60% |
Items

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.

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.
