Note on Use of Averages

In most stats on Oracle’s Elixir, values are calculated for individual games, then averaged across games. The numbers that are usually used on broadcasts use totals rather than averages, which can make minor differences to some values. Oracle’s Elixir prefers averages because they reduce the impact of game length.

Bear this in mind when comparing between Oracle’s Elixir and stats you find elsewhere.
