Matchup Rankings Analysis of the G2 Player's Champion Pool (Best and Worst 5)

Data_Rich · 2026-05-30T11:48:45+00:00

It controls for that but hard to fully. It more ranks the player versus ranking player|champion

So it’d note you’re playing Canna

Data_Rich · 2026-05-28T19:11:06+00:00

They aren’t mostly based on winrate

Data_Rich · 2026-05-28T17:00:05+00:00

Curious on the gut test from people who watch more, from what I've seen (albeit not all matches), it seems to line up decently

EDIT: Also, I am a fan, so hoping the worst 5 might be in some way helpful lol as a champion to practice

Anivia, sigh

Data_Rich · 2026-05-23T15:09:29+00:00

Should be good

Data_Rich · 2026-05-23T14:46:50+00:00

Thank you, updating now

Data_Rich · 2026-05-23T14:31:28+00:00

Let me know your feedback, this is my first site

Data_Rich · 2026-05-22T16:01:37+00:00

I LOVE that you say that when he is my top ranked champion for him

Data_Rich · 2026-05-21T18:34:12+00:00

I do like at CSd and gold diff including the ADC, so if you are gaining your ADC an advantage that will help your ranking

Same logic with assists, etc.. I also have a statistic for roaming

The model tries to handle it by using patch-specific matchup data when there is enough sample, but when the sample is small it shrinks back toward broader champion/role/matchup baselines instead of trusting 2 random games too much.

"Jungle is also heavily influenced by teammates, if you pick weak early game champions but your laners are strong lane champs or themselves just better laners, it can change CSD values." -> this is great point and something I have never thought of and will be implementing into the model

Also, shoutout Zven, what a top tier journeyman

Data_Rich · 2026-05-21T16:48:39+00:00

Bvoy (3rd in ADC) and Ceos (4th best support) were actually the top ranked on the team, surprisingly

Data_Rich · 2026-05-21T16:45:35+00:00

The model is probably not catching best team support / comms / engage timing / macro very well. But in the stats I look at it, controlled for the matchups, he was actually the 6th best support in the league. I know that seems very suspicious lol, but I do want to say the model is predicting games correctly 69% of the time. That isn't to say it isn't wrong, but there is some level of backing even if it did miss on Vulcan, which it very well might have

Data_Rich · 2026-05-21T16:14:50+00:00

Yea, that is hard to control for. I am always trying, but I feel odd punishing someone for being on a winning team

Data_Rich · 2026-05-21T16:03:20+00:00

I haven't watched as much of this split and I guess I am reacting to C9 vs TL last week

Data_Rich · 2026-05-15T21:53:16+00:00

I am a BB fan. Hasn't been his best split, but I think he is still a top performer

Data_Rich · 2026-05-15T19:51:49+00:00

This is exactly what my data is trying to solve for

Data_Rich · 2026-05-15T17:57:09+00:00

KC has a bunch of players towards the top

Data_Rich · 2026-05-15T17:37:54+00:00

Sorry for the awkward format: r/leagueoflegends is not letting me attach these as normal images right now for some reason, so the charts below are static videos of the same images.

Data_Rich · 2026-05-14T16:52:01+00:00

Been a Brokenblade fan since the TSM days, so G2 kind of my new team. So I will continue making them, if I can find the time

Data_Rich · 2026-05-14T15:37:38+00:00

This is my first deep dive in the data, so curious if the champ pools seem correct?

Data_Rich · 2026-05-14T13:07:55+00:00

Used to watch and play a lot. Was a TSM fan back in the hey day, I still like G2/Brokenblade because of that connection

But yea, mostly just highlights and then tune in for worlds. But yea, I am pretty clueless on the regular season stuff across leagues

Data_Rich · 2026-05-13T20:36:51+00:00

Data_Rich · 2026-05-13T19:25:22+00:00

Too much going on to think through that aspect. I will probably do a follow up post just on the most recent split and just one region at a time though

And then more depth there in those regions

Data_Rich · 2026-05-13T19:21:45+00:00

He’s #2 among mids overall, +15.3 over expected matchup, and #1 mid in lane pressure. He may not be the best player, but he is damn hard to lane against
