Did something happen to Kayle?

Because I was looking at champion.gg and noticed that she has the highest winrate for both Jungle and Mid lane at the moment. I can't tell if that's a bug with the website or if something happened with Kayle I haven't noticed.

It doesn't look like a bug to me. The key here, I think, is her pick rate. The fewer the number of players she has the more likely it is those players know how to play her well.

I had a win rate of ~70% on Garen before the juggernaut update, so if it's really only Kayle mains playing her right now this could explain it.

Just keep in mind sample size does matter. I ended season 3 with a 100% win rate on Taric. It would be an impressive feat if you didn't pay attention to how many games I played of him, which was only one.

Her stats are inaccurate on Champion.gg. Look at her pick/ban rate. It's like in the top 5 on the lowest of any champs period. Generally no one plays her.

nope, use lolking.net/charts , its more accurate

Maybe as a whole for her ENTIRE win rate, but champion.gg chooses to go into more specific win rates per role. LoLKing combines all the roles.

Shes not picked alot so no one plays her and therefor no one knows how to play against her this happens alot like it did with poppy and it recentlly did in worlds with anvina and viegar none of these champs are shit there just not played even though in the right team comp their really strong the reason why kayle currentlly is spiking in winrate i have no clue but she didnt receive a buff the only other thing i can think of is if someone saw someone well known go a certain pick that gets countered by kayle they might pick that same champ but jungle really doesnt have many counters and the only champ im seing get played more is tahm kench with unbench the kench

Champion DOT gg only counts Plat+ player games, and Kayle has (pick+ban) rate < 5% so just a few dedicated players who win the game by experience (like 500+ games on Kayle vs all matchups).

LoLKing is more general, but I would suggest LeagueOfGraphs DOT com as the reference about champion stats. It balances some how between champion DOT gg and LoLKing DOT net :)
