Lexical with a Here'swith a thread on a new Stats feature testing on the PBE this cycle, including additional screenshots: Hihi PBE! Stats is now available on PBE! Compare your performance this season by champion or position to other players of equal, higher, or lower skill levels. Designed as performance indicators, Stats lets you dive into your strengths and weaknesses relative to other players.Just head over to the profile tab in the client to get started. Under the Stats tab, you will see the overview page. From there you can filter your games queue types, games played etc. You will need at least 5 games played per champion, queue type and role in order to see detailed data. Your scores are broken down into three main categories: Team Play, Income, and Combat. To see detailed stats, just click on the champion or lane you wish to see. You can compare with different ranks or chose a friend, an expert or another one of your champions in the same role to compare. Clicking a point on the graph will show you a specific game. Because we’re on PBE most folks will have fewer games, and fewer stats. So you might need to play a few games to get the full experience or just use your imagination until we hit live. Please let us know what you think. We would love to hear your feedback, questions and bug reports! :)"
