y do some winrates...
...decrease as a champion is played more?
it would make sense that it would be a steady climb until a plateau.
i am talking about the graphs you see on 3rd party sites like lolking and champion.gg
thanks

The obvious answer is super low sample sizes for some of the areas in the graph. Which means random events like a bunch of losses finding their way into the graph.
I have a theory that the reason behind this is that people who have like the 200+ games which is usually when it drops are all OTP's, where as the people who have like 100-150 are usually meta abusers using it to climb. the 200+ game people are probably plateaud and winning a little more than 50% or 50% itself, where as the people with lower than 200 are possibly abusing the champion while it is strong and dropping it when its weak.
Because the more people playing a particular champion, the less skilled the sample size will appear.
The majority of people who play a popular champion do not main that champion. Thus, they aren't as skilled as others.
Champions with really low playrates often have really high winrates because the only players that play them main that champion, and are more skilled, thus will win more games.
The more people play a popular champion, there's an increase in the less dedicated players, thus less skilled people cause the winrate to go down.
Are we talking more games by a single player, or decreasing as more PLAYERS play that champion?
thank u! i realise now that my whole aproach to league was wrong. hopefully ill b able to climb now. tkx again
popular champs sometimes can be difficult to play and perhaps an Olaf main is awesome and rare suddenly a pro used it and the sheep decided to run Olaf and they suck so drop olafs winrate since he was formerly rare and only played by good players due to his champion difficulty. Olaf being a random example.
i upvoted the 3 ppl that anwsered my question. i need to rethink my whole aproach to league!
how can i/anyone determine if a champion is op then? you hear ppl on youtube twitch etc talk about op is that just their opinion? or is there any data to draw that conclusion from?
