LoL Team Elo Ratings

League of Legends team Elo ratings

Strength ratings for professional teams across the major regions, updated as matches settle, so you can compare form within a league and get a rough read across leagues that rarely play each other.

Why Elo suits esports

Elo only needs results and opponent quality, which is exactly what is reliably available in professional League. It adjusts more after an upset than after an expected win, and it decays, so a rating reflects the team as it is now rather than as it was at the start of a split.

That decay matters more here than in traditional sports. Rosters change between splits, patches change which strategies work, and a team that was dominant two months ago may be playing a game that no longer exists. A rating weighted toward recent results handles that better than season-long averages.

The limitation is cross-region comparison. Teams from different leagues meet rarely, so ratings across regions are only loosely connected and should be treated as a rough guide rather than a direct comparison until international events provide real data.

Using ratings for matches and for DFS

For match betting, the rating gap converts into an expected win probability that you can hold against the price. The gaps are widest in leagues with less betting attention, where the market does less work.

For DFS, ratings are most useful as a proxy for expected game count and expected winning side. Players on higher-rated teams both win more and play in series that they control, which is the combination that produces reliable fantasy scoring.
