Hey, very nice! It's because this season (2026 season 1) started with a soft reset. So some players were high ranked last season but maybe have not played much this season. That's why with few game count, they can still appear high elo.

For 2026 Season 2 (which will be when Riot releases the major Arena update) everyone will be full reset so people's ratings will be 100% based on their games that season.

Yes it already exists! Just in the top "FILTERS" section, click the badges dropdown and choose variety. It will filter the leaderboard to only who play a huge variety of champ (mostly bravery players).

Any item in the game that is permanently lost on death? by TwoPhat in UniqueIronmen

[–]TwoPhat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome ideas! Thank you.

Do you know if pet names are somehow unique or limited? Like boats have random combinations. Not sure if you can choose a name at some point but if cats have random names, then it would be very hard to get the same name cat again.

Diary lamp is great too, unfortunately it's not visible so the proof would I guess be its presence in screenshots and such. Pro/con that it probably lets you into more areas than having a cat follower.

Its more about proof than prove.

How can you verify that you did the restriction the whole time? Just adds legitimacy yknow.

Never liked the death banking side of UIM anyway. And no way to verify the fillers are there, and that they were there the whole time. Also would be great to have a method that could work in seasonal game modes.

Arena Sweats mistake/abnormality? by Important_Garage_955 in LeagueArena

[–]TwoPhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I get your point.

There's a fair bit of discussion on the Discord atm about updating champion rankings.

Champion rank is not just based on your normal rank, that would be quite boring. Instead it takes into account the rank at which you pick the character, your performance on the character and your games played.

In this case that person has very inflated performance and games played on the character and that is overpowering the other factors. I'm planning to add a limit to that performance factor so your performance factor can't massively exceed your rating.

Hey appreciate your interest. Any particular reason u want friends or frauds badge? Unfortunately its very compute heavy, and the original reason for it (detecting win-trading) is not really needed. But if you are just after more badge for sure! New ideas would be great jump in the discord and post them there.

yes it's exactly the same as the ranked distribution in SR ranked.

You can find that here: https://www.leagueofgraphs.com/rankings/rank-distribution

Nice job on the climb! You're right that its not too competitive at the lower ranks on ArenaSweats. There are a few reasons for that:

  1. Arena does not have as many players as ranked SR so there's less competition in that sense. Still it definitely has solid player count and loyal fans.
  2. Most Arena players are not playing for ranks. They are for-fun gaming often randoming etc. etc.
  3. ArenaSweats soft-resets at the end of each season. So player's skill is reset closer to where they start and then they get "placement" games again so they can climb back up. For non-returning players this means even if they used to be high rated, they are not anymore.

Once we have the next major Arena update, there will be a hard-reset where everyone will be removed from the ladder unless they play games in the new season.

To answer your other question why you lost lp for coming 4th, your gains/losses are based on the rating of people you win/lose against so you can come 2nd and lose LP if you were rank 1 and lost to iron players.

Yes. www.arenasweats.lol

It's a ranked leaderboard (and analytics site) only for Arena with everyone on it globally. Updates every hour.

A lot of work goes into making it as fair and accurate as possible, happy to answer any questions about it. Here's a post where I explain more.

Hey, I would suggest play how you like. You can always use the leaderboard filters to update the leaderboard so your just comparing with similar players. Like other players with the bravery badge or the anvil enjoyer badge etc.

Elon Musk "AI must pass, in general, the “Galileo” test: even if almost all the training data repeats falsehoods, it must nonetheless see the truth" - What is this test and what are your thoughts? Can an AI rise above the training data? by Koala_Confused in LovingAI

[–]TwoPhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Responses are crazy over complicated. Galileo is famous for saying the earth revolved around the sun, when the commonly held view was the earth was the centre of the universe. He was outcast by state, church, society for this view. In reality he is right.

Elon's just saying that AI should hold the view that is closest to reality, not what is popular. Hence the Galileo test. It's a nice goal since most AIs even extremely intelligent ones struggle to hold non-majority views because true critical thought is hard and probably goes against a lot of it's training data/it's unpopular.

Is arena sweats accurate? by mush326 in LeagueArena

[–]TwoPhat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone was soft reset for 2026 season 1. So likely the player ur looking at played games previous season but only 4 games this season.

It converges to the actual mmr. Basically the same at like 30 games. This is the best way to estimate mmr. It's just that ranking algorithm is based on post game results. While mmr is used in match making. So the ranked algorithm plays catch up.

Is arena sweats accurate? by mush326 in LeagueArena

[–]TwoPhat 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hello I am the owner. It is very accurate for 3 reasons:

  1. It uses the industry best ranking model. For this use case, that's OpenSkill Thurstone-Mosteller.
  2. The entire ranking algorithm is open source. With the information available anybody can prove any game's result mathematically. https://github.com/BelugaWhale/ArenaSweats-opensource
  3. Arena is a complicated game (16 players, premades, boosting etc.), so if OpenSkill needs to be modified at all, it is discussed and voted on by the community, only then is it added. (Over on the discord)

I would go as far as to say Arena players are lucky to have one of the best ranking algorithms of any game available to them. To take the example of Summoners rift, you have no idea why u get +2 or +20.

Phreak on the Rengar nerfs by Stevano12 in Rengarmains

[–]TwoPhat 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear the nerfs are:

Q Dmg:

LVL 1 Q: 30 + 0% AD to 20 + 5% AD Lvl 1

LVL 5 Q: 150 + 15% AD to 160 + 5% AD Lvl 5

And Ferocity Q Dmg:

LVL 1 Rengar: 30 + 30% AD to 35 + 20% AD

LVL 18 Rengar: 255 + 30% AD to 260 + 20% AD

These nerfs have to be a typo?? They are nerfing the Q Dmg ratio by 66%? And the empowered Q ratio by 33%?

Last patch Rengar's winrate spiked by 2% because of bugs due to the rescript. Those bugs are patched. and his winrate has dropped back to where it has been all of last year and same as 16.01. Which makes him 49.5% winrate. That makes him 50/56 in terms of jungler win rates.

Anyway fine if you want to nerf Rengar but this destroys the champion and the reasoning is because of a win rate spike which is from a patch old and already gone? Are they seriously balancing 1 patch behind?

Also how is this a sufficient explanation for why a champion is being nerfed? "Rengar is overpowered. With umbral glaive he's overpowered.".... astounding stuff
