Editorial & Corrections Policy

Our Commitment to Accuracy

MetaBot.GG is committed to providing accurate, transparent, and up-to-date gaming statistics. We understand that players rely on our data to make informed decisions about their gameplay. This policy outlines how we source, verify, and correct our data to maintain the highest standards of reliability.

Data Sources

All statistics on MetaBot.GG are derived from official, authoritative sources:

  • Riot Games API — Official match data for League of Legends, Teamfight Tactics, and Valorant
  • Valve API — Official match data for Deadlock
  • Official game patch notes and developer communications
  • In-game data files for champion abilities, item stats, and other game mechanics

We never fabricate data or use unofficial, unverified third-party sources. All statistics represent real match outcomes from actual gameplay.

Data Processing & Validation

Raw match data undergoes a rigorous processing pipeline before it appears on our site:

  • Automated collection from official APIs with error handling and retry mechanisms
  • Statistical validation to identify and filter outliers or corrupted data
  • Aggregation using industry-standard statistical methods for win rates, pick rates, and tier calculations
  • Continuous monitoring for data anomalies that could indicate processing errors

Article & Content Standards

All editorial content published on MetaBot.GG follows these standards:

  • Articles are written or reviewed by contributors with direct competitive gaming experience
  • Claims about game balance, tier rankings, and meta shifts are supported by data from our statistical analysis
  • Patch notes and game updates are sourced directly from official developer communications
  • Build recommendations are generated from aggregate match data, not personal opinion

Corrections & Error Reporting

We take data accuracy seriously. When errors are identified, we follow this process:

  • Reports are acknowledged and investigated within 48 hours
  • Confirmed errors are corrected as quickly as possible, typically within one data refresh cycle
  • Significant corrections to published articles are noted with an update notice
  • Systemic issues that affected multiple pages are addressed with a full data reprocessing

To report an error or data discrepancy, please use our Bug Report Form or contact us directly.

Update Frequency

Our data is refreshed on a regular schedule to reflect the latest game state:

  • Champion and item statistics: Updated daily
  • Tier lists and meta analysis: Updated with each new game patch
  • Articles and guides: Reviewed and updated as game patches are released

Editorial Independence

MetaBot.GG operates independently. While we use official APIs provided by game publishers such as Riot Games and Valve, our analysis, tier rankings, and editorial opinions are entirely our own. Advertising and partnerships never influence the data we present or the conclusions we draw.
