Here's a few questions not related to a specific summoner:

  • What digits are the most common at the end of summoner names? See https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/7sewjx/heatmap_of_numbers_found_at_the_end_of_reddit/ for an example of what I mean. How about their winrates? Is there a year that is far better than others?
  • Talking about age, how about account age. Is the winrate better for older accounts?
  • How does the remake rate vary by champion? Is there a champion that causes far more remakes than normal?
  • What summoner icon is used most out of the default ones? What about the non-default ones? What is the least popular icon?
  • What champion has the most total mastery points across all players? Is it in the trillions yet? How about the champ with the highest average points?
  • How many players with exactly 69420 mastery on a champ?
  • Which champion uses Q most often in a game? Which champ W, E, R, etc?
  • How many pentakills happened at level 1? How many of those were by a support?
  • How many cookies have been fed to poros in total? Is there any champ that feeds them disproportionally much (or little)?
  • What is the total time spent in Zhonya stasis over the last year?
  • Coming back to the summoner names, which champion name appears most often in summoner names? Are there more xxRivenMain69xx's or more xxYasuoMain69xx's?

Ok so the Poro Snax question, I couldn't find a way to completely accurately answer this (especially not for all time), BUT, a couple of assumptions and calculations led me to about 152 Million Poro Snax fed to Poros every year.

Methodology-wise, I took a sample of ARAM games, got average number of snacks "used" (by looking at the trinket item slot and seeing the state of the trinket slot at the end of game), and extended that for roughly a year for all our regions excluding China.

There's a lot of assumptions I'm making here, largest one being that I had no easy to parse if you used 1 or 2 Snax (so I had to just assume a number there).

That all being said, that's a lot of Snax. I wonder what if they ever get tired of them...

Surprised Karma isnt on there for ults tbh. Since she has it at level 1 technically.

Karma is probably up there, but if you think about how frequently Corki's R is up vs. Karma's, the fact that he doesn't have access to it until 6 is outweighed by how frequently it is up post-6.

If you want to look at something that's decided more by algorithm than by random, one possible set of questions you could answer is:

"How does champion popularity (pick-rate) correlate with the type of skins that are released for that champion (1350, 1820, Prestige, Hextech, etc.)? Given this correlation, can you create the pool of champions you believe are likely to receive each of those types of skins in 2020?"

There's a ton of cool info you could take a look at if you're familiar with using the Riot Games API, but the above questions you can probably answer without it.

holy moly that Thresh one looks SICK - thanks for sharing!

Hey Jack, this is awesome to see! I love seeing fellow data nerds on here. The analysis that you did was thorough and you were thoughtful of potential biases.

A question I have for my own curiosity: for Gold and Diamond players respectively, what was the size distribution like for each of those "Time before Requeueing" Bars? In other words, what is the % breakdown of how many games are in the "Immediate," "Short break," and "Long break" bars for Gold players and Diamond players?

Again, thanks for providing such an interesting read!

hey data nerd, would you pls share some ball park data about the amount of players over d4+ and d3+ ? i seperated d4 because it is elo hell, prob you know so i believe there should be lots of stuck people there. we kinda see data around like %2ish of the players are diamond+ but what it stands for?

thanks

Hey Tekparif - I'm not sure if I fully understood your question (sorry if I misunderstood!), but I think what you're asking is, "how many people are in d4+, d3+, d3+, etc.?" or in other words, what is the distribution of players by rank?

I'm going to cheat a little and use op.gg as they already provide this data in a readily consumable format. Seems like for NA, D4 is about the top 2% of players, and D3 is about the top 1%.

Hope that helps!

Holy crap this is so insanely dope!

Hello everyone,

Happy 10 years of League! We are a group of Rioters that work with League data almost every day. Today, we want to share some data with you, about you!

Ever wonder what your historic winrate against Teemo is? What about when you have a Teemo on your team? Are you curious if your duo partner is really bringing you down? Who has a better solo queue KDA on Yasuo, Hide on Bush or Yassuo? Ask away!

The Rioters participating today will be Riot Apothis, Riot Aproxity, Riot Blorbie, dzareth, Riot Manaduck, Dim Sum Master, Faif, Riot Hpstp, RiotKaramjaRum, Riot Maddizzlee, Riot Mantikles, Riot Mortalitech, oni0n, Prench Pry, ShinsukeTakasugi, Riot South Korea, tuaaaa, Riot Veilfyre, Riot Verdian, and Riot Zaps.

A couple of quick caveats:

  • There are some things we won’t be able to answer (like spend data, personal info like emails/names, player behavior/toxicity).
  • There are some limits to how far back we can check your data, but anything within the last 5 years or so should...
