"Winrate means nothing"

ZILLAGULA··6 votes·887 views

Partly true. But a mix of playrate and winrate easily determines strength.

For example:

Anivia has a 53% winrate but you see her in only 2.2% of games.

Ziggs has a 53% winrate but you see him in over 10% of all games. 10% is quite alot for a game with over 130 champions.

Vi has a 53% winrate and you see him her in over 15% of games.

Ahri has a 53% winrate and you see her in over 14% of games

I agree, winrates isn't everything. But when a champion has such a high playrate and also maintains a winrate of 53% there MUST be something wrong.

winrates mean nothing, they are unprocessed data. A high winrate with a high playrate also doesn't actually say something, it is an indicator that there is something worth looking at. But you must look at it before you say anything, that is just the indicator that there could be not the sign that something absolutely is. To say that a 53% winrate and 14% playrate means something is like seeing a man with a robber mask running away with a purse and automatically shooting him because he was "obviously a robber."... or maybe his bike broke down and he had to deliver his mother's new purse and hurry back to the shop. They wear those under the helmet sometimes did you know? You just shot a public servant perhaps.

Considering a lot of people use the traditional state of the forums and not that asinine reddit format where I get to see a number of posts back to back by the same person, the post that you're referring to is in no way "flooding."

Side note, was not amused by the attempt at being cheeky by calling vi he then crossing it out. Just came off in poor taste in a thread where you're attempting to make an actual point on gameplay.

win rate depends on how your early game started and how late game states depending what happens , is the win rate , not on percentage , but a posibility on if you get to win with one of those champs .percent is a example of what the possibility is in all of 130 comps if their picked , if you get this GG

Your personal win rates might not be too accurate unless you have hundreds of games played on the champion.

The percentage takes all players playing that specific champion and sees how many losses and how many wins that has happened on that specific champion.

must explain why caitlyn isn't nerfed and so many champs with a win rate <50% are nerfed

win rate indeed means nothing, when riot nerfed a champion, they always looked at the gameplay and not at the win rate
