Popularity history is calculated using the percentage of matches each hero was picked or banned (depending on the tab) every 200 professional matches. Only matches in tournaments with a Liquipedia tier of 1 - 3 are considered. Each point is placed at the average date of those 200 matches. For example, if the "Picks and First Phase Bans" plot for Abaddon is at 0.15 on December 13th, 2015, it means that Abaddon was either picked or banned in the first phase in 15% of the 200 tier 1 - 3 matches surrounding December 13th.
