We compared base HP vs. per-level growth across all 173 Data Dragon champions. Kalista climbs 127 ranks; Kayle and Amumu collapse late. Base HP barely predicts growth (r=0.358).
Checking base range against move speed for all 173 champions gives a correlation of -0.61 — the trade-off is real, but only 12 champs beat average on both. Zyra tops that list, while Rell and Master Yi share the same range yet sit at opposite ends of the speed chart.
I checked base HP regen across all 173 champions. Briar is the only one with zero, confirmed right in her kit text. The base value gap hits 4x at level 1, Vi tops the level-18 chart, and healer Soraka ends up near the bottom of her own self-regen.
We tallied the resource field for all 173 champions in Data Dragon. 28 run on something other than mana, and 7 of those use a resource nobody else shares. Energy pools are locked at 200, no-resource champs pay in cooldowns instead.
An analysis of Korean challenger Hecarim one-trick 서릿빛 겨울의 설흔 using public data. No Trinity Force, just Spear of Shojin every game, and deaths that decide the winrate.
Checking the defensive growth stats of all 173 champions turned up one rule-breaker: Thresh gains zero armor per level. He's also the only champion whose magic resist overtakes his armor by level 18. Plus base armor/MR rankings and the supports who stay tough to auto attacks but stay squishy to bursts.
Measured across 70 recent KR Challenger games. Xerath 14 games, Viktor 13, and bot-lane mages have settled in. They carry with 200-plus CS, yet the win rate sits around even.
Base movement speed with no items on. Lining up every champion shows speed is decided almost entirely by role — and the gap between fastest and slowest is bigger than expected.
Scanned 166 KR Challenger games and pulled 21 of them. Ignite and Flash appeared 21 out of 21, Thunderous Sky 19 out of 21. The lane opponents skewed heavily towards tanky engage supports.
Base attack speed at level 1 with no items, and HP growth per level. Lining up every champion's raw stats reveals their design intent.
Base auto-attack range compared across every champion. Longest is Caitlyn at 650, second is the mage Annie. A middle tier of 200 to 350 is what keeps throwing off spacing in lane.
A summary of the next patch, 26.15, currently on the PBE. The centerpiece is a large-scale adjustment to Bel'Veth plus item buffs.
