Free Champion Rotation Indexabase September 5th Forecast

Hey there, and welcome to this week's Indexabase Forecast. After my initial post, I decided on doing weekly forecasts to help you prepare for the Free Champion rotation of the next week.

HOW THINGS WORK For the Type Casting counts, I count everything whenever it comes up. This means that if, say, Elise and Kled were on the FCR I would count that as two in the Fighter category, one in Tank , and one in Mage. I'll give you the log for the last several weeks to help you get a general sense of things. The log will start with this week and work backwards.

1. A) 1, F) 4, MAG) 6, S) 2, T) 3, MAR) 2 <-- Current week

ACCURACY AND FORECAST FOR SEPTEMBER 5th I wasn't expecting one hundred percent accuracy, but my results were still surprising/disappointing. For the Type casting I had an accuracy of 50%, correctly forecasting the Fighter(4), Support(2), and Tank(3) rosters. For the champions themselves, I correctly forecasted 3 out of 13 appearances. Moving forwards, I think the Type Casting forecast will be the more accurate of the two, given that it has much less variety(e.g. there will never be more than 3 Marksman due to them sharing an attack range with the more populated Mage type).

Forecast: Assassin: Still seeing the Assassins not sending many. After looking back through the Indexabase, I'll go out on a limb and say for sure there'll be only two. Keep your eyes peeled for Akali and Yasuo.

Fighter: Fighters are the most well-represented type, and usually have the most members on the free rotation. I'll narrow it down and say there will only be three. Be on the look out for Poppy, Nasus, and Kayle.

Mage: More mages than expected showed up this week, 6 to my "Three or maybe two". Although there are rarely big weeks for a type back to back, I'll say there will be four or five showing up next week. Be ready for Yorick, Brand, and maybe Veigar.

Support: Everyone's favorite champion type should be sendin out their usual 3 next week. Keep an eye out for Taric , Janna, and Nami.

Tank: Tanks should be doing tank things and keeping it steady, sending out another three next week. Expect Garen, Hecarim, or Amumu to pop up.

Marksman: The marksman always send two or three, and this next week will be no different. Keep an ear to the ground for Twitch, Kennen, Ezreal.

That's the forecast for Sep. 5th! Remember, don't chase after Singed, and always expect Taric.
