Bronze 53.10%


Before you go WTF CHALLENGER WINS 60% ON BLUE SIDE, know that challenger players win 55% of the time over all, so their blue side win rate is inflated too.

Not really a chess guy, but I think white advantage is around the same. Hovering around 55%.


Funny, one redditor PMed me saying the same.

This is actually a lot more serious than I originally expected.

It affects the games before the set is even too. Though tournament level play isn't shown in the chart.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

He's just saying the advantage in Chess is an often quoted example of an imbalanced game where League is more imbalanced.

Yeah, it's just a way to compare league's blue side advantage to some other well known game's advantage for one particular side.

It would be nice if they would allow players on purple to turn on an option like the "Always Up" option in NHL videogames. I'm not sure what would be required to make that a possibility, but it would certainly go a long ways towards evening out that win %.

Now somebody needs to crunch data to see the % of average joe landing on Blue side.

Before I had a Zac in 2 out of 3 games I played. It's getting kind of ridiculous. Riot really needs to do something about Zac.


In that Zac is bad or he's going to be new hipster FotM?

Cause as a Zac jungler back in s3, I'm 99% sure he's terrible in current meta. I did try him in a couple games too, he just doesn't do enough damage or get tanky fast enough.

It's a joke... People keep going "In x of my last x games I had people DC/drophack/AFK/troll/etc, this is ridiculous and Riot needs to do something about it."

Well drophacking does exist, and Riot does need to fix that. DC's, trolls and afk'ers happen as well, it's just that most of those happen below Gold 1 or so. Not saying it doesn't happen in Gold+, but it seems to happen less at that ranking from what I know.

That's what the reporting system is for.

But why would a professional soldier listen to an analyst, if they were actually good at war, they'd be the solders.../s


i doubt that. strategy in league is one thing, in real situation where peoples lives are on the line is a totally different one

The more I think about it, the last time i talked to the AF they told me recruitment rates for every branch are pretty low now despite the fact jobs are scarce, so i wouldnt be surprised if its another way to reach the masses. Even though I can only realistically see the Air force/Navy doing this personally.
