TOP
Compared to data from two weeks ago, Irelia, who showed an uptick in her indicators, recorded a 0.93% increase in average win rate, a 1.16% increase in average pick rate, and a 0.59% increase in average ban rate.
Irelia has shown positive changes across all metrics compared to last week. The rise in both win rate and pick rate is particularly notable, indicating her increased influence in the game. This is likely because she feels more powerful due to the latest patch or meta shifts.
On the other hand, Ambessa, whose indicators declined, recorded a 3.3% decrease in average win rate, a 3.5% decrease in average pick rate, and a 4.89% decrease in average ban rate. Ambessa has seen a downturn in all key metrics compared to last week. The significant drops in win rate and pick rate in particular suggest she is less effective in the current meta, which may be causing players to favor other champions.
JUNGLE
Compared to data from two weeks ago, Xin Zhao, who showed improvement, recorded a 0.29% increase in average win rate, a 0.19% decrease in average pick rate, and a 0.01% decrease in average ban rate.
Xin Zhao is showing solid performance with slight increases in both win rate and pick rate according to recent weekly data. The fact that his win rate has climbed compared to last week suggests his influence in the jungle is growing.
Conversely, Elise, whose indicators fell, recorded a 0.22% decrease in average win rate, a 0.9% decrease in average pick rate, and a 0.69% decrease in average ban rate. Elise is trending downward across all metrics, with significant drops in both pick and ban rates. This could be interpreted as a loss of preference for Elise due to meta changes or the rise of other junglers.
MID
Compared to data from two weeks ago, Viktor, who showed rising indicators, recorded a 1.43% increase in average win rate, a 3.9% decrease in average pick rate, and a 6.7% increase in average ban rate.
Viktor has shown positive changes across all key metrics compared to last week. In particular, despite maintaining high pick and win rates, his ban rate has also jumped significantly, solidifying his reputation as a threat to opponents.
On the flip side, Galio, whose indicators declined, recorded a 0.18% decrease in average win rate, a 2.01% decrease in average pick rate, and a 0.41% decrease in average ban rate. Galio has seen a downturn across all metrics compared to last week, suggesting his impact on the game has waned. The decrease in both pick and ban rates points to his lower priority in team compositions.
ADC
Compared to data from two weeks ago, Ashe, who showed some upward movement, recorded a 0.21% decrease in average win rate, a 0.38% decrease in average pick rate, and a 1.42% increase in average ban rate.
While Ashe saw a slight dip in win rate and pick rate compared to last week, her ban rate saw a big leap. This likely reflects the general perception that she is still a relatively strong performer.
On the other hand, Corki, whose indicators fell, recorded a 0.53% decrease in average win rate, a 7.12% decrease in average pick rate, and a 2.76% decrease in average ban rate. Corki is on a downward trend across all metrics compared to last week, with particularly sharp decreases in pick and ban rates. This suggests his effectiveness has diminished with the recent meta evolution.
SUPPORT
Compared to data from two weeks ago, Lulu, who showed rising indicators, recorded a 0.51% increase in average win rate, a 1.67% increase in average pick rate, and a 0.36% increase in average ban rate.
Lulu has demonstrated positive changes across all metrics compared to last week. Both her pick rate and win rate have climbed significantly, signaling her growing influence in the bot lane. This is likely because the importance of protecting and enabling teammates has become more pronounced.
On the other hand, Maokai, whose indicators declined, recorded a 0.82% decrease in average win rate, a 0.88% decrease in average pick rate, and a 1.14% increase in average ban rate. Maokai's popularity has waned recently due to relatively lower pick and win rates. However, his ban rate has paradoxically increased, indicating he is still perceived as a threat in certain scenarios. These changes seem to be driven by meta shifts or the emergence of other strong support champions.
