I present to you a list of most successful champion combinations since the last patch (Oriana release).
100,000+ games and a more then a million champion games data was narrowed to summoners that hold 1200+ Elo on any ranking ladder and only data from 5v5 games was considered with at least 80 games played by a combo., resulting in TOP 25 list.
Notes:
In most of the combinations its easy to see why it would be fun to have it on the enemy team. If I remember correctly Sona / Karthus combo is not a new one in such list Karthus can deal plenty Area of Effect (AoE) damage and in combination with Sona's Ultimate enemy can't move away resulting in GG.
Rumble / Taric or Janna : Rumble is more popular on EU server with his persistent damage and good support is hard to do much against. Apparently Rumble nerf didn't to prevent hes enemy's HP bar from going down.
Warwick / Nunu: Imagining what this combo can do I smiled - they are perfect for each other (no homo). I mean... how can you deal with tanky DPS that can heal and scary tank that can send you to Alaska in your shorts..? Oh yeah he can heal to... did I mentioned that Nunu's Blood Boil can also make D in DPS so much more PS? This is one reactive combo that leaves me feeling exited and depressed in the same time.

I really love the work you've done on this.
ReplyDeleteI was working on something similar a while back, but abandoned it due to the difficulty of acquiring the number of samples required to get accurate results. Any chance you could tell me how you are gathering the data?
Again, great work and keep it up.

Really looking forward to your next post. I was hoping to do some comparison of past data to current data and find trends in champions success and popularity, but I haven't seen an update for a couple weeks.
ReplyDeleteAny chance there will be a new post soon?
This is cool. I'm trying to launch a very similar project over at

I feel obliged to ask you along. Basically I only have ideas, but that thread alone should put us in touch with all the people needed to fashion a large database, build a site with a nice interface so people can look not only at good combos, but also on champion win percentages against/with any other champ. Please contact me if you are at all interested!
