How the Lightning Rod page is built

Where the data comes from

This Lightning Rod page is built from real ranked solo queue matches pulled from the Riot Games API. Players are sampled across regions and ranks, their recent games are read and filtered to the current patch, and every game where Lightning Rod was built is aggregated for the stats shown here.

What this page shows

The summary shows how Lightning Rod performs, with its win rate and how often it is bought. Below it you see the champions and lanes that use Lightning Rod the most, ordered by how often each one builds it.

This Lightning Rod data is a snapshot of the current patch and shifts with balance changes. Whether the item is worth buying still depends on your champion, your role, and the enemy team.
