Original Post — Direct link

Hello all,

So I'm writing a paper for my math class and we were given pretty much free rein on what topic to choose, the only caveat is that it has to be something we're interested in. So I decided to try to attempt to predict the free rotation. How would I go about doing this? Is it even possible to predict? How much of it is algorithmic and how much of it is chosen by the Riot team?

Thanks in advance!

If you want to look at something that's decided more by algorithm than by random, one possible set of questions you could answer is:

"How does champion popularity (pick-rate) correlate with the type of skins that are released for that champion (1350, 1820, Prestige, Hextech, etc.)? Given this correlation, can you create the pool of champions you believe are likely to receive each of those types of skins in 2020?"

There's a ton of cool info you could take a look at if you're familiar with using the Riot Games API, but the above questions you can probably answer without it.
