Patch Changes
26.16 → 26.17 MIDWhat changed since the previous patch. Champions are ranked by how far their pick rate moved, not their win rate: at our sample size a win rate swing of a few points is measurement noise, while pick rate shifts are measurable.

Ranking uses the change in pick rate. A champion counts as entering or leaving the meta only when the shift is at least three times its own measurement noise, so a champion that merely got lucky never reaches the list.
Win rate change carries an average noise of 5.20 points across the 12 champions tested, so most values in that column cannot be separated from chance and are shown faded. This patch no champion cleared that bar.
Sample: 2.172 matches on patch 26.16, 4.131 matches on patch 26.17.
Bans have no role axis: they happen before champion select, so the ban column always covers the champion across every role.
