How these item builds are chosen

Where the data comes from

These builds come from real ranked Teamfight Tactics matches pulled from the Riot Games API. Ladder players are sampled across regions and ranks, their recent games are read and filtered to the current set and patch, and for every carry we collect the item sets that appeared on it together with how many games each set was played.

How the build is chosen

Each carry shows the item set that was played the most across all comps, so you see the build the ladder actually converged on. The list is ordered by total games, which puts the most popular carries first, and you can filter by unit cost or search by name.

These builds are a snapshot of the current meta and move with patches and balance changes. The best items still depend on your board, your opponents, and the components you find, so treat them as a strong default rather than a fixed rule.
