im kindof weirded out by this statistic. it says if you have more experience with him your winrate drastically drops, then increases again, then drops?

didnt they hard reset their data for fiora, skarner, garen, darius and morde after their reworks? because they absolutely need to.

it says statistics from 2014 to 2015. this really isnt right and screws up everything. after a large rework the previous data shouldnt be calculated in with the new one. it just creates compeltely scewed statistics like this.

it could be true. it could be complete garbage and thats what it honestly looks like. because it doesnt make sense that someone more experienced will lose more games. maybe mmr and difficulty of your opponents factor in when you go on winstreaks. but this really hard to interpret with junk data mixed in there.

A 2.5% drop is not signifigant.

The first couple of games you play with a champ you tend to be cautious and play safe since you aren't familiar with the champ. After a few games you might start to feel confident - even in situations you shouldn't - so you make bad plays. And then you start getting more experience so you know a little more about when to go in or not to go in and your winrate goes back up. The drop in winrate at the high number of games might be overconfidence and risk taking with a champ you are familiar with.

That's my interpretation at least.

I think the drop rate at 125+ is old Skarner mains since their win rate is slightly dragging that down since I bet few have played 125 games with new Skarner. 125+ games is probably win rate with old Skarner.

Good point.

Plat 5 player plays Skarner first time at a Plat 2 level. They have a winning spree, climb, and are pitted against harder opponents. They subsequently lose a bit more, and are forced to learn more about the champion. Their new found knowledge helps push their win rate up, and the win rate drops a bit as their opponents once again get harder.

The problem with Skarner is that the line is hovering closer to 65% than 50-55%.

Small sample size is the reason.

or because basically 2 different champions are mashed into 1 statistic.

at least it says 2014 to 2015

Watch the statistics on op.gg a lot more reliable. He sits at 51%.

Interesting. On na.op.gg his winrate is 63%, but on just op.gg it is much lower. I wonder if he's just much nastier in the NA meta than on other servers.
