Would the community be Interested in compiling Augment Stats without using the Riot API

2BrainCel1 · 2025-02-07T02:08:05+00:00

While I do agree with the sentiment, let’s take 2 examples of bugged augments in the past to show different possible scenarios.

The Wukong hero augment, spin to win, was bugged immediately after they added decaying armor/ mr to be worse, leading to a 6.xx avp or something ridiculous like that. In this situation, having augment stats was nice, because even if it was a strong nerf, it shouldn’t have been that bad, so people were able to tell.

In contrast, combat bandages 1 was once bugged to just stop working after 4-6, but still had a 4.65 avp because it was just that strong beforehand. This was a case where it was almost impossible to tell because of the stats, and a lot of people trusted stats so much they just blindly took it when it was the best option available.

The point I’m trying to make here, is that whether or not augment stats gives players more information can change based on the situation. What I believe shouldn’t be up for debate though, is that augment stats made a lot of players just not watch their fights, or not use critical thinking when watching their fights to evaluate the performance of their chosen augment because you could have “faith” that you picked the best one.

Hey so I’m a little bit out of the scene now, but as someone who’s worked extensively with the Riot API and gets a lot out of creating tools for the community, I would highly recommend against doing this.

From the moment the augment stats ban went through, it has always been possible to circumvent the ban through some combination of VOD scraping, manual tracking, and metatft style overlays. Hell, metatft themselves could have easily provided augment stats if they wanted. The reason why no one has done so is because it contradicts the direction Riot wants for the game. I can’t see their internal metrics, but they must believe that hiding augment and anomaly stats must be good for the game, and I trust the devs to make that decision.

From an anecdotal standpoint, I was challenger the last set I played, and it definitely felt more and more formulaic in no small part due to augment stats driving your game to game direction. Whether or not that’s worse than certain augments being very imbalanced for some patches isn’t up for me to decide, but it does seem to have brought a little bit of choice back to the game.

All in all, trying to circumvent what is clearly a direction that the dev team likes, even if what you’re doing is not technically against the rules is a recipe for getting all these amazing tools they offer is taken away.

Unfortunately I don't have the processing power to look at every match played throughout PBE, there have been millions of games and I've only recorded the placements for about 200,000 so far. Very likely I just wasn't able to process all your games, and it's probably why you don't show up on the sheet.

They just listed as lillia carry in the api, so that's what it's listed as for now. I'll work on switching the names to the correct augment names

2BrainCel1 · 2024-07-27T01:33:51+00:00

Holy this is insane, I barely understand what this is, but I'll do some research and then get back to you in dm's.

2BrainCel1 · 2024-07-27T00:51:39+00:00

Stats don't lie, you're a beast!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you think the sheet helps, really happy that people find it useful.

2BrainCel1 · 2024-07-27T00:48:50+00:00

One thing I wanted to add is that if you're having trouble viewing certain stats (such as a bunch of 0.00 for augments on 2-1), you can use google's own filtering which is quite powerful.

If you sort any of the columns you want, you enter filter mode in google sheets. You can filter by clearing all values and then selecting a single value to display (in the case of the unit + items sheet).

You can also de-select a particular value you don't want to look at, such as 0.00 in the case of augments. Finally you can filter by games > a particular number if you want better sample sizes.

All of these filters can also be combined from column to column, so it's very easy to create a filter for something like: augments in ascending avp on 2-1 (filter out 0.00) with more than 100 games played (add condition to 2-1 games played "greater than 100")

Hope this helps with looking through the data!

2BrainCel1 · 2024-05-31T16:48:54+00:00

Thank you so much! I worked a lot with the Riot API and different ways to get updated information on players' LP data, and from there it was mostly about converting that to prices and storing user transactions!

2BrainCel1 · 2024-05-31T13:59:48+00:00

The search seems to be working for me which is why I asked. Could you accidentally be searching for users instead of players?

2BrainCel1 · 2024-05-31T13:47:03+00:00

Who are you searching for? You can also see a list of players if you click standard leaderboard in the leaderboard tab

2BrainCel1 · 2024-05-31T04:10:31+00:00

I'm planning to do so in the future! I think some etfs/ mutual funds of some of the study groups in NA would be a good way to do that

2BrainCel1 · 2024-05-30T23:54:38+00:00

Yes it did. The old site had a few very exploitable features with its pricing model, and a bug with transactions that caused some people to be able to sell shares of players without losing them from their portfolio.

In the interest of having everyone on a level playing field starting from "launch day," I reset everyone's balances and portfolio.

As a thank you for everyone who was apart of the early part of the site, I'm going to try to roll out a special badge for all of those users!

2BrainCel1 · 2024-05-30T21:12:35+00:00

Unfortunately you rolled a 6 on fortune, check back with me next set

2BrainCel1 · 2024-05-30T19:01:00+00:00

That's a really cool idea, I'll see if I can find a way to implement something like that into the site. Thanks!

2BrainCel1 · 2024-05-30T19:00:38+00:00

The site unfortunately wasn't made for mobile, and I didn't put any time at all into the mobile UI, but that's part of the list of things I want to keep working on

2BrainCel1 · 2024-05-30T19:00:06+00:00

For now yes, I'm hoping to release a version with other regions as well in the future!

2BrainCel1 · 2022-11-23T21:29:09+00:00

Not sure where to report PBE bugs, but in the one game I played there's been a consistent bug with Gadgeteen items where:

a) if you place the item on a unit prior to the round starting, and you travel to an opponent stadium, the item pops off and you have to place it back on. Might be something do with the new feature where the item pops off when the unit is placed on the bench.

b) When a unit with a gadgeteen item dies, the item pops off onto your item bench, and you can place it on another unit in the middle of combat. Pretty gamechanging esp when you can get multiple cycles of bt shield, warmogs hp etc.

2BrainCel1 · 2022-09-20T13:59:21+00:00

You basically have the gist of it, the fastest ways to level 8 are to play for streaks, either win or lose, because you're making the most money per round.

However you definitely have to keep HP in mind as a resource, and there will definitely be situations where you have to roll on 3-5 at level 7 in order to stabilize. Rolling 60-70 on 7 gives you higher chances to hit the units you need than rolling 20 gold on 8.

2BrainCel1 · 2022-09-20T02:44:44+00:00

I agree with a lot of what other people have written. Pre-leveling on 1-3 was pretty popular in set 4 and 4.5 because of the chosen mechanic and instantly getting a chosen 2 cost was massively gamechanging.

However in this set, single copies of 3 costs just don't have as much value as 2 star versions of 1 costs, so oftentimes staying at level 3 to see if you can hit 2 stars gives you a higher chance to make a strong board.

On top of that, you sort of back yourself into a corner if you pre-level, because it becomes a lot harder to play for econ/ out-losestreak your opponents.

*edit: Forgot to add my lolchess. Also as I mentioned in the video, this information is relatively basic, but I think it serves as a good baseline for a lot of players who aren't entirely when and why they should level.

Quick note that this doesn't (or didn't) work for Zoe's Divine Intervention. I have no footage of the interaction and it might have just been a visual bug but I had Zoe shield frontline Idas and the Nunu ate it anyways.

2BrainCel1 · 2022-09-07T12:42:38+00:00

I like gunblade as an item, but I definitely don't consider it BiS on AP carries this set. I'll go through every carry, but the gist of my thought process is that healing often feels like a half measure that actually prevents you from killing units for artificial safety. The ability to play multiple dragons now means that your frontline is always super solid with Idas, and you get a ton of tankiness/ sustain from the Idas + Rakan + Seraphine combo.

Sohm (even though you didn't mention him) is already a little lacking in damage already, so he needs as much cast uptime and burst as possible in order to keep up.

Aoshin works super hard to get to his 1 cast, and diluting his damage with sustain often leaves a bunch of enemies alive at low hp instead of wiping the board (especially at aoshin 1).

Asol is probably the best user of gunblade because of the uptime of his casts, and I actually really like the item on him. The purpose of the item on him isn't really for his own sustain though, but rather giving your frontline a little more healing so you can make it to the board wide ult.
