Data and method

This article uses ranked solo/duo matches from the KR server only. The sample mixes KR Challenger and Grandmaster games collected by GamerPapers with matches from player profiles looked up on the site (all ranks). It is not a random sample of the server and not professional-play data.

The numbers in this article come from 12,343 ranked solo/duo games on the KR server. Lists include champion and role pairs with at least 200 games. Pairs under 500 games carry a "small sample, read with caution" note in the tables. We do not feature them in the title or the intro.

Ban rate is champion-wide, not per role: bans happen before roles are assigned, so every role row of a champion shows the same value.

Comparisons with the previous patch refer to 26.21. Its KR sample was 141,387 games; the 26.22 sample is still smaller, so gaps can move as more games land. The game client shows this patch as 16.22; Riot's official name is 26.22.

For the full live table, see the GamerPapers LoL stats page. Patch changes are sourced from Riot Games patch 26.22 notes. For a short recap, see our 26.22 patch notes news post.
