How the Team Comp Analyzer on NERFPLZ.LOL Works

The Team Comp Analyzer on NERFPLZ.LOL is a draft-evaluation tool: you enter your team and the enemy team, and it returns a comparison of both compositions plus a chance-of-winning figure. It is built for the moment before you lock in, when you want a second opinion on whether your draft actually answers theirs. The site presents it alongside its tier lists, champion guides, counters, patch notes and team comp articles, so it functions as a pre-game check rather than an in-game overlay.

What you put in

The analyzer works from two lineups: your side and their side. The page shows the two teams facing each other with champion slots on each side, and the output is framed as "You" versus "Them." In practice, that means you select the champions already picked or likely to be picked on each team — for example, your top, jungle, mid, bot and support against the five you expect to face.

The tool is a draft comparison, not a simulation of a specific game. It does not appear to take summoner spells, runes, item builds or player skill into account based on the site's description; it evaluates the champion compositions themselves.

What it shows you

The analyzer reports a chance of winning for the matchup and breaks the comparison into the composition traits that decide most drafts:

These are the same axes the site uses in its team comp write-ups. A recent example, Top Team Comps #144: Point and Click (Vex & Vayne), is built around exactly this kind of reasoning: every piece of crowd control on that team is aimed at a champion rather than at the ground, so the usual answer of "dodge it" isn't available. That is the sort of insight the trait comparison is meant to surface — if one side's hard CC is high and targeted while the other's is low, the analyzer's numbers reflect a real draft problem, not just a stat.

How to use it before locking in

1. Enter both lineups. Fill in your team and the enemy team as they stand, including any picks you expect to come.
2. Read the chance-of-winning figure first. Treat it as a directional signal about the matchup, not a prediction of the actual game.
3. Check the trait gaps. If the enemy shows much higher hard CC and frontline while your side leans on magic or physical damage, you know which problem to solve with your remaining pick.
4. Adjust and re-run. Swap a champion in your lineup and compare the new output. This is the most practical use: testing whether a candidate pick improves your durability or frontline without collapsing your damage profile.
5. Open the draft in the analyzer. The page includes an option to open a draft in the analyzer, so a composition you are considering can be carried over and examined in the full tool rather than only in the summary view.

Where it fits in your prep

Use the analyzer when you have a concrete draft question — "does this comp have enough frontline," "are we too one-dimensional on damage," "can we survive their engage" — and you want a structured comparison instead of a gut feeling. It pairs naturally with the site's tier list for the current patch and its counters pages: the tier list tells you which champions are strong, the counters pages tell you who beats whom, and the analyzer tells you how the five-versus-five shapes up once those choices are made.

It is less useful as a standalone ranking of champions or as a substitute for patch notes. For those, the site's tier list, patch notes and PBE sections cover the current and next patch separately.

Limits worth knowing

The chance-of-winning number is a composition comparison, so it will not capture a player who is far better than their lane opponent, an unusual build, or a team that wins through macro play rather than draft. The trait breakdown is the more durable part of the output: hard CC, frontline, damage type and durability remain meaningful even when the headline percentage feels off. Treat the analyzer as a way to spot draft weaknesses early — before you lock in — rather than as a verdict on the game.
