New Metrics from League-Analytics.com

A new LoL analytics site has been launched over at League-Analytics.com, and the guys there have some pretty interesting ideas for new stats.

One of my personal favourites is their “ahead/behind” pair of metrics, which measures how much of the time a team possesses 52% or more of the gold in the game (roughly equivalent to having 8% to 10% more gold than the opponent), paired with a 48% or less measure as well.

They have also created a concept called “Gold Shift Events,” which captures each time there is a substantial gold swing in a game and measures how often each time was on the winning or losing side of that swing.

I highly recommend checking out their work, and following along as they continue to innovate.
