SmartSelect

ML-powered League of Legends Champion Selector

Vision

1. Solo Queue Champion Select tool which lets users input the current state of draft, then see ML-generated recommended picks (best to worst based on model, can be filtered by role, and by champion pool). Also shows chess-style draft win/loss prediction update with course of draft.

• In the future could feature a client overlay which integrates with the draft UI and updates in real-time to the draft.

2. Pro Play Champion Select tool which can be used by teams to aid drafting, or by broadcast with ML-generated win predictions and pick suggestions (would generate interesting discussion and add a sponsor spot opportunity e.g. Domino's Draft King Prediction, Wegman's Draft Winner).
