What is brains.gg?
brains.gg is a data-driven Teamfight Tactics analytics site. We aggregate millions of ranked TFT matches from Riot's API and rank the best comps, units, items and augments by how they actually perform, so you can make better in-game decisions.
Where does your data come from?
All statistics are derived from real ranked TFT games read from the official Riot Games API. We parse every board in each match — units, star levels, items, traits and augments — and roll them up into the rankings you see. We do not copy data from other sites.
How often are the stats updated?
The rankings are recomputed continuously over a rolling window of recent games and are scoped to the live set and patch (currently Set 17, patch 17.7). When a new patch or set launches, the numbers begin reflecting the new games instead of carrying old data forward.
What does average placement mean, and why does it matter more than win rate?
Average placement is the mean finishing position from 1st to 8th, so lower is better. Because TFT lobbies have eight players, consistently placing 2nd–4th climbs faster than occasionally winning but often bombing out. Average placement and top-4 rate capture that consistency better than win rate alone.
Why is a unit, item or comp page empty or missing?
We only publish a row once it has enough games to be statistically meaningful. Early in a patch, or for rarely played picks, there may not be enough data yet, so the page is held back rather than shown with misleading numbers. It will populate as more games are recorded.
Can I filter the stats to my region and rank?
Yes. Most pages let you filter by region, rank bracket, queue and a recent time window. Changing a filter recomputes the stats over just that slice of games, so you can see the meta as it looks where and how you actually play.
Is brains.gg affiliated with Riot Games?
No. brains.gg is an independent site and isn't endorsed by Riot Games. Riot Games and all associated properties are trademarks or registered trademarks of Riot Games, Inc. We use Riot's public API under their developer terms.
What does Premium include?
Premium removes ads and unlocks advanced filters and saved comps. It funds our data and hosting costs, but it never changes how comps, units or items are ranked — the rankings are identical for free and Premium users.
How do I report a bug or incorrect stat?
Email [email protected]. We rely on player feedback to catch data issues and improve the site, and a real person reads every message.
