TOP
Comparing data from two weeks ago to last week, Gangplank saw his average win rate climb by 1.5%, while his pick rate dipped by 0.28% and ban rate saw a minor 0.02% bump.
Gangplank is showing positive trends in both win rate and ban rate compared to last week. His win rate in particular has surged, creating more opportunities for his team to win. This seems to be driven by recent meta shifts and optimized item builds.
On the flip side, Renekton's stats are sliding, with his win rate down 0.1%, pick rate down 1.21%, and ban rate down 0.14%. Renekton is trending downward across all metrics this week. This is likely because other champions have become much stronger, leaving him with fewer favorable spots in the draft.
JUNGLE
Xin Zhao's stats showed a slight decline, with his win rate dropping 0.26%, pick rate down 1.07%, and ban rate down 0.19% compared to the previous period.
While Xin Zhao saw minor dips in win rate and pick rate, he remains a very stable performer. He is still maintaining a win rate above the average, contributing significantly to team success.
Meanwhile, Elise saw her win rate increase by 0.47%, but her pick rate plummeted by 1.53% and her ban rate dropped by 0.2%. Elise's win rate ticked up slightly, but her pick and ban rates took a heavy hit. It looks like players are gravitating toward other junglers as the meta continues to evolve.
MID
Galio's metrics are on the rise, despite a 0.4% win rate dip; his pick rate jumped by 0.9% and ban rate increased by 0.11%.
Galio has seen a steady rise in both pick and ban rates recently, with the jump in pick rate being especially notable. He is clearly becoming a preferred choice for many team compositions.
Xerath, however, saw his win rate fall by 1.1%, while his pick rate stayed flat (+0.01%) and his ban rate rose by 0.57%. Xerath's win rate has struggled over the past week, suggesting that despite being banned more often, his actual impact on the games he does play has diminished.
ADC
Jhin is crushing it lately, with his win rate up 0.18%, pick rate soaring by 4.93%, and ban rate increasing by 1%.
Jhin has shown positive growth across every single metric this week. His massive pick rate combined with a solid win rate proves he is a dominant force in the current meta and a huge asset to his teams.
Ashe saw more modest gains, with her win rate up 0.08%, pick rate up 0.28%, and ban rate up 0.5%. Ashe hasn't seen as much volatility as other ADCs, maintaining a very consistent level of performance. However, the data suggests she might need further adjustments as the meta shifts around her.
SUPPORT
Poppy's win rate rose by 0.64% and her ban rate surged by 1.43%, though her pick rate fell by 0.51%.
Poppy has seen a significant spike in both win rate and ban rate this week. The sharp rise in her ban rate indicates that players now view her as a major threat. These changes highlight her critical role in current team strategies.
Lastly, Xerath support saw a 1.09% drop in win rate, even as his pick rate rose by 1.33% and ban rate increased by 0.36%. Xerath's win rate has taken a hit, which might mean his overall game impact is waning. However, the fact that both his pick and ban rates are still climbing shows that he remains a highly relevant strategic option in the support role.
