Caitlyn 51% win rate and 28% pick rate

Blåbæret··7 votes·771 views

So for how long will this champ be allowed to dominate and abuse her trap mechanics; taking 50% of your health in a headshot? She's been like this for ages and nothing has been done. If you're going to buff crit ADCs, Cait will be 100% ban. Please just stop the champ favouritism and nerf this piece of trash champion.

if people start banning cait, twitch is going to see a rise in play and twitch is pretty broken

There are far worse things than 51% winrates.

Those numbers don't support your post.

51% win rate is essentially even.

Cait has a couple things otherwise going for her.

  1. She is a lot of people's go-to ADC when they have to ADC, which means they have more experience on her.
  2. In the chance that there are two auto-fill ADCs, the one playing the ADC they have more experience on, is statistically more likely to win the matchup.

Thus you get a high pick rate, and a slightly above 50% win rate.

She's not an abusive champ in the slightest.

Hello there, Caitlyn main.

Just for laughs, actually look up my account, and then giggle at the ridiculousness of that response.

51% winrate isn't that bad though.

Agreed although it isn't until you see the pick rate as well.

Sorry if this is obvious, but why is pick rate such a big deal? Is it a staleness argument?

I would think winrate would be the end all be all for "OP" discussion.

Low pick rate means only mains are playing that champ, so it's expected to be high. High pick rate means more people are new to the champ, dragging down the winrate below the actual power.

lucian has a slightly higher winrate with a 44% playrate

For one, 51% is pretty balanced, although a bit on the stronger side of balanced. Shes easy to counter as well, Just ask if you want to know them. Also it depends how they work with crit ADCs, she may get op, or maybe not. Riot will nerf her accordingly if she becomes OP.

You cant base your facts solely on winrate, let alone a pretty normal winrate. Now if she was OP, itd be like 53%+ or so.

It's 51% with a huge pickrate. Much like how Ahri and Lucian (lucian has a 52% winrate with a 45% pickrate holy shit gut that champion) have very high pickrates and winrates above 50%, it's because they're getting carried by braindead mechanics.

ALSO, these are the stats right now for ADCs.

your argument is invalid, unless youre going to say Lucian is more OP than Cait rn.
