Kled has 54.42% win rate with high pick rate and ban rate

While true, it's never possible due to a low sample size. High plat (or whatever the equivalent now is) is the highest rated group with enough of a sample size to make statements based solely on statistics. There's a low enough population in masters and above that a frequently played champ can make their counters look statistically overpowered, a player that one tricks an unpopular champ may be the only player of that champ, or random chance may simply allow for a difference of a few percent.

1300 is not a low sample size. Btw, low sample size is never an issue on this board when ppl cries about e.g. Riven. "Omg Riven has 55% win rate after 2 hours of the new patch was applied, based on 30 games, omg broken champion"... So, no if board keeps bitching about other champions based on master + statistics then it does work for Kled too, especially with statistically relevant numbers. If you find 1300 low, then check diamond+: 53% win rate 12,000 games, Gold: 52.15% win rate 50,000 games. There isn't a single elo where Kled isn't oppressive and supports that he doesn't need to be nerfed.

Do you by any chance have any concept of the term "sample size"?

Do you by any chance have any concept of statistics? No, you don't. Because if you did you would know that 1300 is not a low sample size.

The game is balanced around regular play, skilled play, and pro play. Regular play is below Platinum, where players generally do not use their champions efficiently but Riot must prevent pub-stompers from running wild to keep 80% of the playerbase happy. Skilled play is Plat and above, where players do use their champions efficiently but without coordination. Riot gets the ‘good’ balance numbers from this elo and sometimes considers ‘elite’ play of Masters+ for near-perfect play abuse cases.

Finally, Pro players use champions perfectly, in unexpected ways, and with coordination, requiring balance decisions that often seem strange to anyone not following the scene. RIP Support Kench.

Yet riot gets mad when champions that are designed around coordination use are actually good at coordinated use.

Yeah. Let's face it. Look at yetters recent tweet about "aiming for 2%" additional winrate for viktor. That's what they do. They are clueless and dumb and all they do is look at magic numbers and throw some other random numbers around until the magic number fits. Without taking into account WHY a champion is strong, HOW he does it, if he has frustrating mechanics, counterplay etc. There is a fuckton of metrics to actually balance a champ and the game as a whole. Instead we get random numbers here and there so their data shows "50%" winrate perfectly balanced as all things should be. Unless it's riven then she isnt balanced until 60% winrate and fiora apparently. Fiora and before her renekton are prime examples of riots absolute cluelessness. Renekton already oneshotted everyone early-mid game and they buffed his laning and oneshot more but his winrate didn't really move. They buffed the absolute fucking shit out of fioras laning phase and are still surprised that her winrate doesn't move. If they actually played the game they knew that laning phase especially toplane is fuckin irrelevant but whatever.

Cool.

I just checked, and Kled is 15th in that list. Why didn't you pick any of the 14 previous champs to complain about?

In what list he is 15th? He has the 2nd highest win rate on top lane.
