I didn't even notice that I RARELY saw her for MONTHS until this week when she's in almost half the games I play. I thought Aphelios & Cait were the top ADCs with the number of bans and whining I've seen about them.
But here MF is sitting at a 53.87% WR.
Put simply, winrate is NOT a measurement of champion strength. It's an indicator of an outlying factor(s).
Unfortunately, it does not tell us what that outlier(s) is, just that there is one. Could be skill expression, representation, item/rune/champion synergy, familiarity, matchup, blah blah blah. Champion strength is only 1 of those factors & a very unlikely one at that.
In other words, until a winrate starts pushing more than 5% above or below 50 in high elo, it's just a useless misnomer that should be ignored. Even then, it's still only 1 factor amongst many.
people realizing building full lethality isnt as strong as a traditional adc build
other factors can be the change in exp in solo/duo lanes.
I think its a handful of factors, 1 she is strong in lane phase and currently lane prio is very important especially for mid/botlane so your lane can have 1st rotation to help your jungler w/ crab/drag. Plus W helps her rotate faster.
Also in the current meta there are a lot of teamfights around drag, and MF has one of the easiest teamfight impact of adcs w/ her ult.
