Draft, with / against and build: the filters at the top of the page (window, regions, level). What follows the meta moves fast.
In a comp and “the scene protects itself from”: 180 days of tournaments (from 2026-04-15 to 2026-10-12), the draft review window. A champion's kit changes little, it needs volume.
All games come from Master+ amateur tournaments. No soloQ.
A win rate is written from 30 games, always with its range. Under that threshold, wins and losses are written.
What the data does not say: the pick order (missing from the Riot API), engage (no reliable measure).
