How these matchup statistics are calculated

Counter and synergy statistics use Ranked Solo/Duo games, exclude matches shorter than 600 seconds, and group results by patch window, region, rank scope, and champion role.

Pairwise pages use a rolling three-patch window and compare observed win rate with a log-odds expected win rate based on each champion's role-adjusted baseline; listed pairs require at least 1,000 games.
