Karthus is broken

You remember when people complained about Karthus getting nerfs for no reason and that the Mage Update will gut him? Guess what? Mains are abusing him right now, having a 58% winrate (Top) and a 54% winrate (Mid)

I did not play against him yet, but I've heard scary stories.

But he isn't common, and he requires practice. Mains have a tendency to abuse champions. That's why things like Heimer, Zyra, and Rumble have historically had high win rates.

If he becomes common, he'll get tapped again with the hammer.

Yes... the mains of a champion typically have above average win rates for them...

it is 0.5% play rate.. that isn't a lot of games for the statistics. it might not be statistically significant. we will have to see that win rate for another month or so.

There were 366 games played as karthus top. Only mains playing him.
The problem isn't when mains have decent winrates with their one trick poney champion. The problem is when the champion average games are 20 games and with a win rate over 50%. ("Such a complex kit"- Tank Ekko) .

The pool sample is way to small to make any analysis for karthus.
