Just a quick clarification example on OP.GG statistics for the sheep

Darth Sidiouss··1 votes·1,740 views

This is for the sheep that down vote after making a tab in their browser and type in OP.GG only to read the %% to stay in a convinced state of mind. https://s18.postimg.org/o2yqv7e61/class_is_in_session.png As you see this is for Warwick his statistics shown for the present patch and the last two patches before. What do we see ? an increase in winrate thats climbing upwards around 3.5% per patch he started at 42.64% upon release now he is currently 49.24% It doesnt take a mathematician to guess that the next patch his winrate will be around 51%

Now lets go back in time where i first started complainning about Warwick .. What was the generic response again?

"hes kinda weak right now, if anything he needs buffs" "Nerf WW? what?? lol"

Those replies were only stated after going to OP.GG to check % winrate on Warwick. As of right now we are witnessing the dust settling and the amount of players picking up Warwick and discovering the more broken aspects around his kit which is slowly but surely sinking the knife in.

But nobody bats an eye because they are fooled by what OP.GG is showing at the present time. So what happens next ? the sheep come in as soon as Warwick hits a spot where hes more noticeable basically above 50% he will be picked even more often just because he is shown on OP.GG as displaying a plus 50 winrate and hes above the rankings of other junglers.

This is what causes the after bomb after the dust settles as soon as the sheep come in and grab him up then the winrate goes up even higher just from sheep playing him and then he visually indicated as being "meta" and Riot finally steps in and nerfs him.

Lets be wary of extrapolating data.

The sensible thing to do is wait and see where it levels out after people have learned all the ins and outs of playing new ww, and also give special consideration to those with 100s of games on new ww to see if that's significantly out of line with the average win rate. Keep in mind that not only are people learning how to play ww, people are also learning to play against new ww, so his win rate is not necessarily only going to go up.

lol.

His winrate went down to 42% because after the rework people had to relearn him. A lot of people were playing him when they really had no clue how to play him post-rework. His winrate is now up to 49% - that gain is not any indication that his winrate will continue to increase. It simply shows that people have learned how to play him after the rework and his winrate is still under 50%. That means that when people get good with him they might have a winrate of 51+ or higher while people that are bad with him will have a winrate of 49% or lower.

by the same argument you use to say WW needs nerfs then the same graph would show that VAYNE win rate has fell every patch since 6.23 but you just made a thread saying she needs to be gutted when in all reality she might need a buff

Nah he's fine lol sometimes he can seem strong but thats for the wrong team comps similar to how riven can seem strong to a full team comp of squishies with no hard cc. Just because his winrate has been rising doesnt mean itll be 51-52 % next patch, people are still learning to play him and against him.

You talk about sheep yet you use a third party website designed solely to let "sheep" views invisible numbers that only Riot can accurately draw.

I think we're done here.
