Also, can you tell when the ARAM balance changes started :P

Overall pretty happy with how they've played out. Natural order is maintained, but not decided at champ select as much. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EKUU26cUEAAOK2K.jpg:large

Honestly this is just incredible. Just the sheer visibility of how much the balance changes have affected win rates. While it isn't perfect, it's certainly a massive improvement over what was there previously.

While that's certainly encouraging for overall balance, I'm curious how the graph changes when filtered by MMR and/or player familiarity with the champ. How many of those "This champ is terrible and badly needed buffs" were influenced by (average) players just being bad/unfamiliar? Likewise for the top of the range.

So you're saying half the people I play with who plays aram skill-level are below that light blue line in the middle? Makes sense! Thanks!

Honestly this is just terrible. It doesn't take into account the players' league and experience. That's why buffed champs are broken in high elo.

What champ is the light blue one that spiked by 15% between patch 9.06 and 9.09? Immediately dropped hard at 9.10. Compared to all others, that one seems very strange.

where is senna on the graph? she had a 40% win rate day 1, shot to a 70-80% win rate in the first couple days, and now she's fallen back to around the mid 50's and i dont see any line representing this.
