So I was looking at champion.gg statistics for supports sorted by win percentage then this

You may not know this, but huge win rates with abysmally low play rates indicates cheese or OTPs. It pretty much immediately identifies cheese/nontraditional strats and should not be taken at face value.

High playrate and high winrate are immediate signs that something is too strong or too successful.

It's not cheese or anything. Champion.gg works based off of where they spend the most time, it's why jungle Sol has a high winrate but when you click on the jungle Sol page it just shows his normal build without any jungle items.

That's because the 'jungle' Sol is actually just an Aurelian Sol that is roaming so much that it counts them as jungling since they spend so much time in the jungle.

This is the exact same thing. They're spending so much time bot that the system is putting them up as support. Click on Rek'Sai and see how it shows smite for the summoners and they're building jungle items.

It's basically showing you how effective camping bot is!

Jungle ASol was a thing when he first released so I'm not too surprised.

Try looking at play percent?

Don't know why you're getting down voted.

I'm just gonna stay away from ranked for a few days since all the bronzers are gonna think this is legitimately good.

CaveslothMar 26, 20181 votes

I'm kinda wondering if its just harder for the site to tell what actually is a support now since the removal of bandit and its getting confused.

BlakiepugMar 26, 20181 votes

I saw this the other day too and was like "lol wtf?" It's a sad day to be a support main.

Working as intended...?

This is known. Supports are sooo dominant right now, and the main reasons adcs are to strong. Adcs have always delt high damage, but in the past could be killed. An adc is damn near impossible to kill if they have an enchantress with them. Supports used to be gold starved, but now they have "normal champion gold", and they funnel most of that into defending the adc.

It's just a bug, god t'is is going to ruin so much ranked games. Camping botlane is an effective strategy right now because lower the time that the support unlocks sightstone. It's discusting when you really think about it.
