Free Champion Rotation Indexabase October 10th Forecast

Welcom to this week's Free Champion Rotation Indexabase Forecast! After last week's historic forecast, how will it go this week? I'll help you out by giving you an idea of who's coming.

HOW IT WORKS I take a look back through my logs and make not of each character and their type, counting their type whenever it comes up. For example, if Morgana and Lux were on the free rotation, I would count that as two Mages and two Supports. I'll give you the logs for the last several weeks you you can follow along.

ACCURACY AND FORECAST FOR OCTOBER 10th I said historic in the intro, so what did I mean? First, my least accurate week yet: one squad delegation right(Marksman, but that almost doesn't count), only one appearance(Lux) right. But think about that for a minute. Despite all the moving parts in League, I was still at least somewhat accurate. As I said a few weeks ago, I may not get everything right but I will get something right.

Secondly, the squads sent out. In my opinion, we haven't had a worse free rotation type-wise since that Assassin and Fighter heavy one over two months ago. First, NO Assassins at all. NONE. That is the first time in my records there hasn't been at least one of a character type in a rotation. Second, SEVEN Mages, the most in a rotation ever and only the second time that many of a type have been put out. Third, this was the biggest week for Tanks on record, a squad of five showing up.

FORECAST: Assassin: Crazy week. After moving through the shadows, the Assassins will actually send a squad next week. Riot is not so amateur as to send out five or more to punish uscompensate for this week, so I'm seeing two or three next week, and I'll go with three. Keep your eyes peeled for Fiora, Lee Sin, and Nidalee.

Fighter: Three is the bottom line for fighters, so I expect they'll send out a bigger squad next week. With all the Supports and Mages this week I think they'll take the top spot once again, sending at least four, but I'll say five. Keep a look out for Pantheon, Tryndamere, and Irelia.

Mage: Mage is the second most populated type, so they won't be sliding back down to zero next week. With the Fighters taking over next week they'll be sending out between three and five, so I'll go with four. Watch the smoke signals for Karma, Orianna, and Karthus.

Support: Sending an amount they usually do, the Support squad will continue to do so and crank out another three next week. Keep a weather eye out for Taric, Braum, or Anivia.

Tank: After the biggest week for tanks yet, their numbers will dip down for next week. Tank is one of the more steady squads, but with all the hate tanks get I think they'll play it safe and send out no more than three; most likely one or two, and I'll go with two. When you smell updog, it's a sign that Blitzcrank, Shyvana, and Trundle re coming.

Marksman: Another average week for the Marksman squad. Shocker incoming: next week, there will only be one Marksman. Keep your ear to the ground for Quinn, Ashe, or Jinx.

Going deep yet again. I think Riot is very proud of Ivern and how different he is. Once the massive firestorm over his bush spawning ability has died down he should be appearing on the free rotation, so expect him to come out of the woodworks in the next couple of months and join Taric and others as a member of The Club.

And remember: killing Kled in the split-second before he remounts doesn't actually count, and there 100% needs to be a Star Guardian Braum skin.
