We select the source\u2019s most popular core combination and rune setup for the selected role and rank. Each champion page links to its source and displays the source patch, selected rank filter, all-server scope and import date.<\/p><h2>What the numbers mean<\/h2><p>Champion win rate and item-combination win rate describe different groups of games. Item statistics count games where those purchases were reached. Small samples, match length and players already being ahead can affect the results. These figures do not prove that buying an item causes a win.<\/p><h2>Updates and safeguards<\/h2><p>Requested role and rank builds are cached for 24 hours and refreshed when requested again. New batches must pass patch, item, rune, spell and coverage checks. Failed requests keep the last valid build. Source data may lag behind a Riot patch; compare the patch shown on the champion page.<\/p><h2>Editorial approach<\/h2><p>Build explanations describe the displayed choices and statistical limits. Rune and item effects come from Riot Data Dragon. We do not claim professional-player review or copy third-party guide prose. Champion-specific strategy needs editorial review as the game changes.<\/p><p>OP.GG \u00b7 2026-10-12T22:52:59+00:00<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/op.gg\/lol\/champions\">OP.GG<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.riotgames.com\/docs\/lol#data-dragon\">Riot Data Dragon<\/a><\/p><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-751","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/opmetalol.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/751","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/opmetalol.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/opmetalol.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opmetalol.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=751"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/opmetalol.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/751\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/opmetalol.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=751"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
