Week's Top 10 Solo Queue

Welcome to Flavor of the Month's Top 10 Picks and Win Rates for solo queue featuring general stats and Diamond Elo in particular. Bear in mind that these stats have a 2 day delay (thus barely featuring the League of Targon) but are obtained from Riot the same way other statistic sites do.

This is an experimental feature for Flavor of the Month, and one we'd like to make permanent, so if you have any comments/suggestions/requests please feel free to do so. One thing we're considering is an Excel document (Excel isn't that pretty but there's a lot of work to this) that you can download feature all champ's stats for the last X weeks (probably up to 4)

Click bellow to read into this week's solo queue top picks and winrates.

A HUGE patch is going to hit servers November 21st, including preseason changes and champion balance (besides already announced changes to traditional Supports). Read bellow for all notes.
(Note: some of the changes are already covered in recent posts, so in order to avoid making this text even bigger than it already is there's info we decided not to repost)

At 05:00 UK Time, the servers will be shut down and all games currently in progress will end in a draw and stats will not be recorded. We estimate the battlegrounds will be unavailable for 6 hours."

Preseason Changes: Gameflow (Map, Dragon, Trinkets, Inhibitor destruction)

In this article you can read about gameflow changes that are not as specific as those both Support and Jungler roles are suffering, like brush changes, Dragon objective modifications, the new Trinkets, minion behavior changes when an inhibitor is destroyed.

Preseason Updates: Jungler Role

Jungle items and jungle flow are both suffering changes this season. The idea behind these changes is to help carry-type junglers (such as Master Yi, Riven, Jax) not fall behind in gold as hard as they used to when they couldn't get any successful early ganks.

Read bellow for jungler-specific item changes and the new Wight camp.

Preseason Updates: Support Role

One of the roles expected to experience heavy changes once the Pre-Season Patch hits is the Support Role. As you will be able to read bellow, gameplay design changes reveal a clear intention of increasing the gold income for lane sharing players who do not last hit and try to keep the kills coming for their lane partner. These intentions become clear with a set of new items and a few new/changed Utility Tree Masteries, as well as an increased reward for getting consecutive assists without taking any kills.

Furthermore, to help traditional supports such as Nami, Lulu, Janna and so on keep up with this gold increase - for their scalings would not always be when optimal compared to other good dual laners such as Annie, Jarvan IV, Fiddlesticks or Lee Sin who would also see increased income - a few tweaks have been added to some of their abilities so that they scale with stats like Ability Power or Armor.
