The Scaling Codex
Recent changes
Grades move when the reasoning behind them moves, and this page is the record. Every row below exists because a grade actually changed or an entry was rewritten, with the date it happened.
Grade changes
- 2026-08-06 · Cho'Gath moved Grade D to Grade C. Moved to C after a review of high-elo builds. The old entry rated the AP one-shot variant above the tank build; at Grandmaster and above the tank build is what is played, and it holds a rising win rate as games run long.
- 2026-08-06 · Bel'Veth moved Grade A to Grade S. Moved to S after the 26.15 rework made True Form permanent at 80 Lavender stacks.
Entries revised
Text changed, grade held. Usually a correction, a clearer limitation, or a mechanic checked against the wiki and found to be stated loosely.

Grades come from gameplay reasoning about a coordinated late-game fight, not from win rates. Data can prompt a re-examination, as it did for Cho'Gath, but the grade stays an argument about a fight. How the grades are decided.
