Who actually shows up
How often each unit appeared on a board playing this comp, and how those boards placed. A unit in nearly every board is the comp; one in half of them is a flex slot.

By bracket
The bracket is the ladder tier the match was found through, not each player’s own rank — Riot’s match data carries no per-player rank, and looking all eight up would triple what every match costs. Read it as the company the game was in.
| Bracket | Avg place | Boards |
|---|---|---|
| Diamond | 4.55 | 867 |
| Emerald | 4.33 | 1,403 |
| Platinum | 4.22 | 1,407 |
Augments
Riot’s match data does not say which augments players took, so there is no augment win rate here and none is invented. Each line pairs what the augment grants with something measured about this comp: 3 are a real placement comparison, the rest say whether the augment suits how this comp actually plays. Augments we can tie to nothing are not listed, and the app behaves identically.
