PSA anything above 53% winrate is too strong

i dont know why i have to even state this... its pretty damn obvious

i mean its understandable to get NEAR 53% at higher elos or lower elos specifically if there is a large winrate differential between Elos

for example. as a Nidalee main i full understand that if she CAN'T have a 50% winrate and be balanced in lower elo becuase then her winrate would be at like 55% in higher elo and she would be 100% pick ban up there (cough season 6)

other beginner friendly champions such as Garen woudl have stupidly absurdly 54%+ winrates in lower elos which they are designed for as beginner champions if they were allowed to get a winrate above 50% in high elo. (cough now)

but seriously... if your champion has a 53% + winrate in every elo. or even 3 or more elos.. ITS TOO STRONG. AND IT NEEDS NERFS.

this isn't a difficult concept to grasp here.

if your champion has a 53%+ winrate in multiple elos... its TOO STRONG, unless it has a equally LOW winrate (such as 45-46%) in other elos.

i understand how people can be biased towards a champion they love and main.. but that bias cant ignore common sense

It depends from the playrate too. There was a time that Karthus had a 58% winrate, but with less than 0,4% playrate.

Unless its play rate is so low that winrate is not a reliable metric AurelionSol

Thats not quite true

X champ is has a playrate of 40% and a winrate of 49%

Y champ has a playrate of 0.7% and a winrate of 53%

Which one should be nerfed?

Garen wasn't designed to be a beginner champion, he's just artificially handicapped by it because he makes for a good one.

LOL ikr, when u main a champ that for the first six months of season 7 was sub 46% winrate and finally in the last 3 patches has hit a 48-52% winrate going from low to high elo and you have been doing with your slightly weaker be perfectly viable champion for 6 months at a 47% winrate and you hear people complaining that their champion which has a 53+ % winrate in every elo "doesn't needs nerfs"

and u be like [sg-miss-fortune]

sure bro.. sure [sg-ezreal]
