I can't be the only one...

No, both sites pull from the exact same data from Riot servers. You think there is some sort of global conspiracy against Zed mains?

Individual champion performance is not the same as win rate. Completely different factors go into winning the game overall vs a champion's successfulness in 1v1 or skirmish scenarios. If this weren't the case the fact that on an individual basis Zed's insanely success rate would put him near the top of win rate across the board. You're welcome to have a difference of opinion with me but if you want to claim that the statistics are lying then take that up with Riot.

Shyv is in the exact same boat as Zed right now just like her previous glory days. As soon as she completes one item just R on top of anyone, right click and EWQQ and the only thing that will save you from that is flashing a wall.

Equal skill Talon will lose to Malz by a significant margin. If you think otherwise then you don't understand how those two champs are played. Both are push and roam and both hit their stride at level 3 but Talon has to use his Rake to either farm or clear Malz' voidlings. This means that Malz can use E and AA to farm and harass and at some point talon will either get pushed to tower or have to use Rake to farm. Then you drop voidlings and push him to tower anyways. Malz always has the advantage of either taking mid tower first or applying more roam pressure and is only at risk if he gets lazy about warding or tracking the jungler.

Sure if Malz tries to toe-to-toe Talon he's going to lose every time but that is a representation of skill gap, not champion abilities.

Prior to the rune changes my default mid mage pages gave me just enough defense such that if Talon or Zed wanted to dive me under tower at 6 they needed a couple of autos in addition to the button mashing to completely zero me out. That gave me a fraction of a second to wait for them to pause for that auto, CC and have a chance of killing them before they could get that last required hit to finish off my health bar if I got the timing just right.

That is called counter play. Sure if I didn't get it right or misjudged my HP or the other guy reset his AA timer just perfectly I would still die but there was still a window, however small, for the outplay. In Silver that window was actually pretty large all things considered. Now however since death is guaranteed w/o those AAs there is no window, hence no counter play, hence no skill required for the assassin. Just press all of the buttons and run away.

At the time of the post Xerath was in the top 10 in one rank, gold I think it was, no mages were in the top 5 and Malz was the only mage in the top 10 in more than one ranking. Since the stats are live I'm sure the fine details shift from day to day.

If you bothered to actually digest what I've been saying the issue isn't with one skill's raw number vs another. It's that right now the pants on head assassins are zeroing out every other champion that was designed to be equally high risk, high reward when they both have their cooldowns up without ever being at risk themselves. In addition since assassins were SUPPOSED to be high skill cap and CD dependent their ults are usually up on the order of 30-40% more often than their counterpart mages.

Hell Syndra, queen of the one-button-kill isn't even played at all anymore because by the time an assassin is in range and targetable for her to press that one button she's already dead. Maybe if she's lucky one ball of her ult will land on Zed before his mark procs while he's busy trying to decide whether to spam his emote or /laugh.

If you have played this game at least as far back as the last assassin rework or read any of Riot's posts on why DFG was removed from the game then you should know that it's in your best interest to hydrate well before the next season starts because there will most definitely be sweeping nerfs and all of those fresh tears are going to take it out of ya.

Ah, you went by champion.gg because op.gg didn't prove your point? Which is also why you go by the rather muddy "overall performance" (which is only so high for Zed because of the many kills he gets, and Ez always does aboveaverage damage and now he's got the goldgain to boost his performance ranking even further) instead of winrates? Good move.

Let's be honest, Kleptomancy users are overperforming because Riot doesn't want to nerf such a fun mastery while there's no LCS. When Aery gets nerfed again for not being used exclusively by utility mages, MF's winrate will go down too.

Meanwhile you wanna complain about Shyv too? Really? No lethality, offtank, and you dislike her, huh. You've got a bone to pick with the most recent post complaining about bruisers being weak unless fed then.

And you're the one who isn't doing any research. The best champion against Malz is ... drumroll please ... Talon. It's also apparent you didn't look at the full statistic, or else you wouldn't have missed that Xerath is in the top 5 too.

It's clear that AD champions put their feet up in asses of people who are bad at the game, who come to complain about it here. This has always been the case, things have been like this for months, there's nothing sudden about it.

Also, you're seriously complaining about the what? 3 Zoe posts that hit the frontpage while the rest of it is filled with unsubstantiated complaints like yours as per usual?

You're being ridiculous with your comparisons, Fizz, post-nerf, pre-rework, killed you with QWE, name one champion today that can do that and show me a clip. I look forward to either nothing or more 20/0 montages.

Just out of curiosity you want to link your actual op. Gg? I would like to compare how my "bad at the game" win rates match up with your good at game rates for preseason.
