Each person has a role that they need to efficiently fufill, such as tanks, damage dealers, and supports.

But to a person who plays leauge of legends, by understanding how impactfull a tank/bruiser is compared to a tanky support, may help in creating a strategic team full of optimal champions that may be better than the current optimal team.</p> <p>Here’s our dataframe with the 104005 rows and columns needed:</p> <div class="language-py highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="n">df</span><span class="p">[[</span><span class="s">'class_actual'</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="s">'damagemitigatedperminute'</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="s">'wardsplaced'</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="s">'dpm'</span><span class="p">]]</span> </code></pre></div></div> <iframe src="https://TyAlbao.github.io/lol-position-classification//assets/filtered.html" width="800" height="400" frameborder="0"></iframe> <ul> <li>class_actual: A manually mapped class that dictates whether it’s tank/bruiser or tanky support</li> <li>damagemitigatedperminute: Damage mitigated per minute (Damage shielded or blocked)</li> <li>wardsplaced: How many wards are placed (item in game)</li> <li>dpm: damage per minute</li> </ul>
