💡Champions to Watch This Week
- Notable Buff Champion: Twisted Fate → Thanks to the E attack speed increase and R cooldown reduction, his win rate skyrocketed from 51.20% to 52.58% and pick rate from 7.88% to 19.15%! Word on the street is he's been raking in gold with global roams after pulling the right card, hitting the "poker jackpot" 😂
- Notable Nerf Champion: Neeko → Took a direct hit from Q and W damage nerfs! Her win rate wilted from 50.39% to 47.62% and pick rate from 3.28% to 3.10%🌸, her disguise show is on a temporary hiatus 🥀
TOP
Comparing data from two weeks ago to last week, Mordekaiser, the champion with the rising metrics, saw his average win rate increase from 48.93% to 51.16%, his average pick rate increased from 3.65% to 4.01%, and his average ban rate increased from 0.24% to 0.25%.
Mordekaiser's K/D/A (6.11/5.84/4.31 → 6.40/5.84/4.30) and multi-kill rate (2.95 → 3.10) saw a slight uptick, increasing his teamfight contribution. The key reason for this win rate increase is analyzed to be the buff to his Q - Mace of Spades damage in Patch 25.12, from 80/110/140/170/200 to 80/115/150/185/220 (+70% AP).
Conversely, Renekton, the champion with the declining metrics, saw his average win rate decrease from 51.62% to 50.44%, while his average pick rate increased from 5.98% to 6.58% and his average ban rate increased from 0.76% to 0.83%. Renekton's gold (11,667 → 11,531) and K/D/A (5.46/5.56/5.08 → 5.45/5.60/5.10) plateaued, leading to a drop in win rate. While there were no direct changes in Patch 25.12, the buffs to melee carries like Mordekaiser and Jax, combined with the nerf to Grasp of the Undying for ranged champions, are believed to have reduced his relative effectiveness.
JUNGLE
Comparing data from two weeks ago to last week, Lee Sin, the champion with the rising metrics, saw his average win rate increase from 49.71% to 51.69%, his average pick rate increase from 21.38% to 27.80%, and his average ban rate increase from 6.20% to 11.12%.
Lee Sin saw slight increases across the board in metrics like K/D/A (7.36/5.28/7.97 → 7.58/5.29/8.23), gold (11,733 → 11,775), multi-kill rate (3.80 → 3.95), and damage mitigated (35,795 → 35,954), leading to a significant jump in win rate and pick rate. The direct cause is analyzed to be the buff in Patch 25.12, where the cooldown of E – Tempest/Cripple was reduced from 9 seconds to 8 seconds and the slow percentage was increased from 20~80% to 35~75%.
Conversely, Kha'Zix, the champion with the declining metrics, saw his average win rate decrease from 51.49% to 50.03%, his average pick rate decrease from 5.59% to 4.55%, and his average ban rate decrease from 0.45% to 0.31%. Kha'Zix saw a slight overall decline in key metrics like K/D/A (8.95/5.44/5.78 → 8.94/5.48/5.76), gold (12,586 → 12,493), multi-kill rate (4.37 → 4.33), and damage mitigated (34,475 → 34,173). With no direct changes in recent patches, the shift in the meta and the strengthening of his competitive counterparts like Lee Sin and Viego are considered the cause of his relative fall.

Comparing data from two weeks ago to last week, Twisted Fate, the champion with the rising metrics, saw his average win rate increase from 51.20% to 52.58%, his average pick rate increase from 7.88% to 19.15%, and his average ban rate increase from 0.20% to 4.69%.
Twisted Fate saw his core metrics like K/D/A (4.58/5.25/8.15 → 4.50/5.39/8.54), gold (12,332.3 → 12,196.8), and multi-kill rate (2.34 → 2.28) remain stable while his pick rate and ban rate surged. This is attributed to his buffs in Patch 25.12: the bonus attack speed from E - Stacked Deck (10/20/30/40/50% → 15/25/35/45/55%) and the R - Destiny cooldown reduction (180/150/120s → 160/130/100s), enhancing his lane sustain and global rotation ability.
Conversely, Azir, the champion with the declining metrics, saw his average win rate decrease from 47.65% to 46.32%, his average pick rate decrease from 5.07% to 3.28%, and his average ban rate decrease from 0.15% to 0.11%. Azir experienced a drop in K/D/A (5.06/5.65/5.95 → 4.79/5.85/5.83), gold (11,903.7 → 11,517.7), and multi-kill rate (2.49 → 2.30), losing his meta dominance. The nerfs in Patch 25.12, which reduced his base movement speed (335 → 330) and attack speed per level (6% → 5.5%), are considered a direct blow that has lowered his overall utility.
ADC
Comparing data from two weeks ago to last week, Aphelios, the champion with the rising metrics, saw his average win rate increase from 48.17% to 49.94%, his average pick rate increase from 3.99% to 8.95%, and his average ban rate increase from 0.05% to 0.27%.
Aphelios saw increases in K/D/A (7.01/6.33/5.25→7.36/6.37/5.39), gold (12,264→12,322), and multi-kill rate (3.26→3.38). The attack speed buff (0.640→0.665), the movement speed increase on Severum (20%→25%), and the damage increase on Calibrum Q (+10) in Patch 25.12 have significantly improved his early-to-mid game combat power.
Conversely, Senna, the champion with the declining metrics, saw her average win rate decrease from 51.43% to 50.24%, her average pick rate decrease from 23.65% to 14.23%, and her average ban rate decrease from 10.53% to 7.68%. With Patch 25.12 reducing the soul drop rate from minions from 14% to 10%, Senna's scaling has been delayed. This, combined with a decrease in her K/D/A (5.04/5.04/10.82→4.98/5.13/10.83) and gold (11,808→11,582), led to a concurrent drop in her win rate and pick rate.

Comparing data from two weeks ago to last week, Blitzcrank, the champion with the rising metrics, saw his average win rate increase from 49.15% to 51.02%, his average pick rate increase from 7.67% to 8.00%, and his average ban rate increase from 3.76% to 3.93%.
Blitzcrank maintained stable core metrics like K/D/A (2.01/5.97/13.00 → 2.04/6.01/13.23), gold (7,977 → 7,976), multi-kill rate (0.75 → 0.76), and damage mitigated (22,992 → 22,925), all while seeing his win rate rise by 1.87%p. This highlights his meta-relevance, where a single well-placed hook can completely flip a fight.
Conversely, Neeko, the champion with the declining metrics, saw her average win rate decrease from 50.39% to 47.62%, her average pick rate decrease from 3.28% to 3.10%, and her average ban rate decrease from 0.58% to 0.51%. While Neeko's K/D/A (3.35/6.36/9.98 → 3.35/6.47/10.29) and multi-kill rate (1.46 → 1.45) didn't change much, she took a direct hit from the nerfs in Patch 25.12. The Q - Blooming Burst explosion damage was reduced from 80/125/170/215/260 (+50% AP) to 60/110/160/210/260 (+60% AP) and the W - Shapesplitter bonus damage was reduced from 40~180 to 30~170, directly causing her win rate to plummet by 2.77%p.
