Patch 26.21.1 Winners and Losers
The win, pick, and ban rate figures here are a third-party League of Legends statistics provider's aggregation of match data that originates with Riot Games โ Riot doesn't itself publish win-rate statistics. See how it works for the method, including the per-tier noise-width (ฯ) calibration Should I Dodge publishes on top of that raw data โ how far a rate actually sits from meaningless, not something the provider itself measures.
This compares the latest published numbers from patch 26.20.1 to patch 26.21.1, at Tier: all ranks, per champion and role — 239 pairs have data on both patches. A move only gets named below once it changes by at least 0.5 percentage points — several times larger than the biggest day-to-day wobble this app has ever measured in a champion's win rate while a patch was otherwise stable — and only once the champion's current pick rate clears 2.0% so a barely-played pick's swing can't headline the page on its own. That's a consistency rule, not a formal test of any kind — the underlying data carries no sample size, so there's no way to test it at all. 20 of 239 pairs clear both bars.
The biggest gainer is Varus (+1.9 pts); the biggest faller is Viktor (-2.2 pts).
