🎯 Node (Hero Circle) Elements

Node Size: Represents meta importance based on contest rate (how often the hero appears in picks/bans). Larger circles = more contested/important heroes in the current meta. The size formula considers contest rate, frequency, and win rate with contest rate being the dominant factor.

Node Border Colors (Your Team's Performance):

• 🟢 Green: High win rate (65%+) - Strong picks for your team
• 🟢 Light Green: Above average win rate (50-64%) - Solid picks
• 🟡 Yellow: Below average win rate (35-49%) - Questionable picks
• 🔴 Red: Poor win rate (<35%) - Heroes to avoid
• ⚪ Grey: No games with this hero - Unknown performance

Pick/Ban Indicators (Text below each hero):

• Green +XX%: Percentage of time your team picks this hero (when it appears in draft)
• Red -XX%: Percentage of time your team bans this hero (when it appears in draft)
• Combined they show the contest rate and reveal your team's preference (pick vs ban strategy)

➡️ Edge (Arrow) Elements

Arrow Direction: Shows relationship direction from source hero → target hero, indicating draft sequence interactions

Arrow Opacity Management:

• 20% opacity (default): Subtle arrows when no hero is selected for cleaner visualization
• 95% opacity: Arrows become prominent when connected to a selected hero for detailed analysis
• 5% opacity: Very faint for unrelated arrows when specific heroes are selected

Arrow Colors (Win Rate Outcomes):

• 🟢 Green arrows: High win rate (60%+) when your team utilizes this relationship
• 🟡 Yellow arrows: Balanced win rate (40-60%) - neutral outcome
• 🔴 Red arrows: Poor win rate (<40%) - indicates problematic matchups or poor synergy

Arrow Thickness: Represents relationship strength and frequency. Thicker arrows = stronger/more frequent relationships. Thickness doubles when connected to selected heroes for emphasis.

📊 Strategic Interpretation Tips

Identifying Strong Picks: Look for large, green-bordered nodes with high pick percentages (+XX%). These represent meta-relevant heroes your team performs well with.

Problem Hero Detection: Red-bordered nodes indicate heroes your team consistently struggles with. Consider whether to avoid these picks or invest in improving performance.

Meta Shift Analysis: Compare node sizes over time to identify changing hero importance in the evolving meta. Larger nodes indicate rising priority.

Draft Strategy Optimization: Green arrows between heroes suggest successful combinations or sequences. Plan your draft phases around these positive relationships.

Ban Priority Assessment: Large nodes with high ban percentages (-XX%) reveal what your team fears from opponents. Consider whether these fears are justified by actual match outcomes.

Opponent Analysis: When viewing opponent perspective, identify their comfort picks (green borders) and weak points (red borders) to inform your ban/pick strategy.
