Mid has been Katarina's lowest winrate role for like all season other than the first month.

Currently her 4th most favorable role and her lowest popularity rate mid lane so far(88% and still dropping), Katarina has spent nearly the entire season with Mid being her least successful role.

I really didn't know how to feel about this at first, it's not uncommon for low popularity picks to have inflated winrate, but what concerns me most is that Katarina Mid winrate is just -always- the lowest, or 4th lowest winrate role for her this season.

For example, Zed has similar popularity rates to Katarina, and he even wins top 52% currently, higher than his midlane winrate. But Mid is just never straight out his lowest winrate like how Katarina's is.

This is a bad argument, due to the fact that Katarina is not performing badly at mid, but rather she is picked rarely in other roles due to lack of cc, or as a counter pick. You can look with Zed too, who has a bigger pick/ban rate than Kat, and also see that his main role (mid) is doing more poorly than top.

The reason for this is because they are picked as to counter something in a lane, rather than use their usual lane. Katarina is performing just fine.

Alright, like you said, you know more about Katarina, but you're only considering Zed. Let's pick another mid laner. Aurelion Sol. He currently has been underperforming too in mid, his ORIGINAL lane. Yet you have some high superiority because you have high mastery points with Katarina.

You cannot make such a claim just to be biased. You can check any other site, and it will show other statistics. What makes you think your's is more accurate?

Before you try to come at me with some bullshit, just notice that your one site only speaks to your terms, which is flawed by itself.

Katarina is still performing well in mid, and has been a good pick for this season. Sure, I haven't played her as much as you. Fine. But you don't win by making biased claims with your champion. Sorry.

all these hyper mobility champions are toxic and should only be good when played by people who actually put in the time to main them. Meaning they should be on the weak side

I think this is because Katarina is a champion that is very singular compared to pretty much everyone one else. Hence, most OTP's that don't get to pick her in midlane... will pick her in other roles. (I do that myself lul, kat ma luv <3 )

then she gets only very comfortable players in other lanes, while she gets randoms + comfortable players in midlane, lowering her midlane winrate and inflating other lanes'.

You'd have a sound argument if 88% of Kat's games weren't being played as mid. Of course the other roles are going to have higher win rates when they have low population samples; it just means those that are playing it are either using it as a counter (like Vik top/Taliyah Jg)) or as a one trick
