Riot are now including dragon type in their reporting. Beginning with the IEM Oakland stats, and going forward for all new team stats pages, Oracle’s Elixir will be reporting dragon control rates separately for elemental drakes (infernal, mountain, ocean, and cloud) and elder dragons. The DRG% label will continue to be used for “regular” dragons, while ELD% will represent elder dragon control.

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.
