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.

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

Where this comp’s games end, and its board at every level from 4 — a unit marked + is new since the level above. Level 8 and up are measured: the boards its games ended on, all ranks, the last 14 days (1,983 games). 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. 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.

Contested?

How this comp placed by how many of the other seven players in the lobby held Elder Dragon, over 540 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.

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
Elder Dragon	Infinity Edge	#4.20	-0.15	903
Elder Dragon	Deathblade	#4.23	-0.11	384

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 19 smaller versions, 659 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.

Traits

Active on the core board, with the next breakpoint the trait offers.

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 5 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.
