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.

Contested?

How this comp placed by how many of the other seven players in the lobby held Aphelios or Sentinel, over 455 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.

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 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.

Also played

Families sharing at least 4 core units with this one — the same board taken a different way.

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.
