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

Where this comp’s games end, and its board at every level from 4 — a unit marked + is new since the level above. Level 7 and up are measured: the boards its games ended on, all ranks, the last 14 days (2,402 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.

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

Contested?

How this comp placed by how many of the other seven players in the lobby held Ahri, over 826 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.

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.
