Kelvin meta builds

What Kelvin players buy and level, from recent ranked matches: all ranks and Oracle+ side by side.

Meta builds come from recent ranked matches: the items each hero's players buy most, in the order they usually buy them, and the most common ability order. The first eight ability points are measured; the rest follow the most common max-first priority.
