A preliminary estimate for Patch 16.16

We're still collecting enough coordinated 5v5 data for this patch. The lineup below is a low-confidence estimate from champion performance, profiles and SoloQ signals — not a frozen Perfect Meta Draft.

Data analyzed

Previous patches stabilize the estimate when the current patch sample is still thin. Older games keep a lower weight; they never include future patches.

382,420 historical games from earlier patches are used as a statistical prior.

Why this draft?

Strong engage and front-to-back teamfighting
Strong objective control

How to play this comp

early Game: Play the first waves cleanly and avoid random 5v5s until your mid-game spike.
mid Game: Group the strongest two-man pairing around the next Herald or dragon.
teamfights: Start fights on your engage threat, then hold a front-to-back shape.
win Condition: Convert picks or wave priority into dragons and Baron rather than chasing leftover fights.
avoid: Avoid early all-ins that blow your scaling lead before it exists.

Best replacements

Each backup is rescored inside this exact composition, not as a standalone lane pick.

How this preliminary estimate is built

Coordinated 5v5 draft-meta is still missing, so this page cannot publish a Perfect Meta Draft. The current lineup is a preliminary estimate from champion performance, profiles and SoloQ DPM. Pair synergies and matchup residuals are not used until that coordinated sample is available.

Patch just dropped? That's exactly when raw win rates are the least reliable. Our model uses previous patches as a statistical prior, then progressively shifts toward current-patch data as the sample grows.

We collect coordinated five-player games, especially Flex and Ranked 5.
Master+ and Ranked 5 samples receive a higher data-quality weight.
Recent patches weigh more than older ones.
Older patches stabilize estimates while a new patch is still thin.
Champion power is shrinked so 70% on 20 games cannot beat 54% on 8,000.
Synergies and matchups are residuals, not raw pair win rates.
The search looks for the five-champion unit that fits the actual meta, not every possible draft.

Why not just use SoloQ winrate?

A team draft depends on synergies, role assignments, coordinated play, matchup structure, engage, frontline and the opponents good teams actually pick. A champion that is strong in Solo Queue does not automatically produce the best five-player draft.
