I have noticed some things about champs that have been deemed "op"

Buttigieg 2020··1 votes·605 views

Let's look at winrates. Before you start saying "win rate doesn't mean shit" you should realise that if a champion is losing more than winning, you have a HIGHER chance of winning if said champion is on the enemy team. Not to menton if something is "op" then they are winning games too easily, so yes wintate does matter.

LeeSin 46% win rate.... Sure he has a high skill cap but that is an atrocious win rate. If he was op then he would have at least 50%

Fizz 49% win rate.... And fizz is one of the easiest champs to play... He should be pub stomping.

Zed winrate hovering around mid forties. And before you say "zed is to hard for bronze skrubzz" you should realise he is not doing well in LCS either. The only lcs player I have seen have success on zed is bjergsen, and I don't think riot is nerfing zed just because bjergsen is a god.

The moral of this is winrate DOES matter and don't say x champ is op without any evidence.

You fucking "winrate" sheep make me sick. Zed is cancer, wildly unbalanced, and unfun for anyone to play against (and with on the same team usually). You want evidence? EVERYONE in the community hates the champ with a passion because of their PERSONAL EXPERIENCE playing against it. That actually matters. You making the blanket statement, "Zed is perfectly fine because of winrates" makes you an idiot, mostly because you view the whole issue through one very limited prism with 0 context.

E.g. "Statistically, the largest number of violent crimes in the United States are committed with baseball bats, therefore we have determined that baseball bats are unacceptable and the Federal Government is going to ban baseball bats to solve this serious crime problem."

You want people to give you evidence to definitively PROVE Zed is a major problem. This isn't a criminal court of law, there is no burden of proof beyond a certain threshold to prove something before its considered legitimate. The community outcry is massive and should be more than enough to warrant serious consideration by Riot. The only people stepping up to defend Zed as "balanced" are Zed players who can only play this game with a massive advantage (and people who play other similarly broken/cancerous champions), and ignorant people like yourself who think "Well win rates > all = Zed fine - get good noobs hueueue".

If I never saw another Zed, Leblanc, Fizz, or Nidalee in one of my league games the entire time I played this game. It wouldn't be scarce enough.

Edit: Oh, you're a bronze player, I didn't check before I wrote this response. Your entire post makes alot more sense now. I'm sure Zed probably is balanced in Bronze, where almost anyone that plays him is most likely too mechanically and conceptually terrible (even as easy as Zed is) to really abuse his true potential.
