The Trinket System
After being introduced in season 4, trinkets have become a staple for every game on the rift. Thehttp://lolbuilder.net/item/warding-totem-trinket(yellow trinket) made it possible to have vision in lane without early investment in sight wards. Thehttp://lolbuilder.net/item/sweeping-lens-trinket(red trinket) gave players the ability to clear wards without buying a pink ward. Thehttp://lolbuilder.net/item/scrying-orb-trinket(blue trinket) is useful for safely face checking bushes as well as keeping sight on a fleeing enemy champion.
Season 5 brought more diversity to the trinket system by adding upgrades. Upgrades can be made at level 9 and had their cost reduced to 250 from 445 in patch 5.3, making them even more affordable for players.
The current upgrades for the trinkets are:
- http://lolbuilder.net/item/greater-stealth-totem-trinket(yellow trinket) – Stores up to 2 wards, reduces the cooldown and increases ward duration from 120 to 180.
- http://lolbuilder.net/item/greater-vision-totem-trinket(yellow trinket) – Places a vision ward.
- http://lolbuilder.net/item/farsight-orb-trinket(blue trinket) – Increases range to 4,000. It also places a 60 second ward in the area.
- http://lolbuilder.net/item/oracles-lens-trinket(red trinket) – Gives champion true sight for 10 seconds.
''But how much could a small upgrade for my trinket really affect my games?''
Using data from 5 million worldwide ranked games, we conducted a study to determine win rates based on trinkets, and their upgrades. Due to the diversity of the trinket system, we considered each role separately, along with all possible trinket combinations in that role. To keep consistency, we used the trinket the player ended the game with.The results are eye-opening.

The Warding Totem is the most popular trinket used in top lane with 77.75% (7,522,415) of players ending the game with it. These players hold a 48.55% win rate.

Numbers don’t lie. There was a consistent and significant increase in win rates throughout each role with trinket upgrades, regardless of the trinket chosen. It was surprising to see the amount of players that don’t upgrade their trinkets. Out of 47,188,485 players analyzed in our study, 81.6% (38,523,632) didn’t upgrade their trinket. With the spike in win rates from upgrading, it would be foolish not to. A lot of players are trying to improve their rank and a 250
