Are you tired of gaming in the corner of your bedroom? Does your partner complain that you celebrate too loudly at a Fortnite win and wake them up? If you're a serious gamer, it might be time to turn that unused guest room into a gaming room. Here's how to do it.

Plan Ahead and Cover Your Bases

Get an Inspection

Back in 2021, there was a /dev post about the State of Game Modes. It was about the current new game mode, Ultimate Spellbook, as well as some other older game modes and why they aren't coming back. But the ending of that post mentions this:

A unique game mode where champions will be amplified!

(Credit: leagueoflegends.com)

Now nobody probably paid attention to that, I myself found out about it only about a year later, but it got me SO excited. I love TFT's augments, and a way to amplify a champion? Yes please!

It's very clear that Arena started its development as early as October 2021, so it's been under wraps for almost 2 years before it came live. That's a lot.

When they finally revealed the Arena, I got BEYOND excited. Just seeing the footage I instantly knew this is gonna be a game mode I will spam every chance I get to play League. And I do, it did not disappoint me.

Sure Arena has problems, like the constant spam of champions who are arguably too br

The game mode itself could feature limited different versions of it instead of the actual Arena being a limited game mode. We could get limited-time 1v1v1v1 or 3v3v3v3 options, there could be a Normal vs Ranked modes for less try-harding on normals. Also, since the game mode is often criticized due to the spam of champs like Heimer/Shaco, it could feature a Random Champion pick. about Arena, and he suggested having an iteration where one champion is randomly selected, and the other person picks their champ. It would add an interesting variety to the game and how well two players can coordinate with what they've got.

Hey, I'm Jack J (Twitter) and I work in the AI & Esports/Gaming space! (I run itero.gg & write the weekly The Esports Analyst Club article).

My main focus at the start of last year was to build AI models that could help professional teams win more games through draft.

I've now taken those same techniques we used in pro to analyse mid-elo (Silver/Gold) solo queue games to answer the question: How to win Solo Queue Draft. This article is a statistical summary of the results from studying 1M+ games.

Stick around to the end for a link to a tool I've built to analyse your account + any draft (even drafts that are half-way through) to find which of your Champions gives you the best chance of winning.

"Master Yourself, Master the Enemy"

It should come at no great surprise to anyone that by far the most impactful of all is the level of Mastery you have on a Champion. 

How Champi

This one's not so straight forward, so bare with me. I've written dedicated just to this statistic, if wanted to really get into the details then head over there.

EDIT: You can see a full list of Econ stats here: , they're found under "Gold @ 12 Multiplier", and lanes can be switched at the top left

A team's win rate based on their combined AD/AP ratio

• Just remember non-lane counters are ALSO effective. We keep track of all matchup win rates in Silver/Elo on if you're unsure. 

Webapp Version (no download):

If you got this far down the article, I thank you! Long form content is (by name), more time consuming and not something you see very often in the space. I'm trying to do my part by writing an article once per week in the AI/Data/Esports space. You can see all of the previous ones at: https://itero.gg/articles and I tweet sporadically about data here:
