How the Delayed Start page is built
Where the data comes from
This Delayed Start page is built from real ranked Teamfight Tactics matches pulled from the Riot Games API. Ladder games are sampled across regions and ranks, read, and filtered to the current set and patch. The item summary, the champions that build Delayed Start, and the comps shown all come from those games.
What this page shows
The summary at the top shows how boards holding Delayed Start perform, with the average placement, top 4 rate, win rate, and how often the item is built. Below it you see the champions that use Delayed Start the most, plus the strongest comps and popular items of the current set for context.
This Delayed Start data is a snapshot of the current meta and shifts with patches and balance changes. The best holder depends on your board and the components you find, so use it as a guide.
