"Yasuo and Heimer played bot doesn't count as diversity because their pick rates are low!"

I really hate this argument because its trash on multiple levels. For starters, Yasuo's play rate bot is comparable to several ADCs in the lane while also having a winrate higher than them. Heimer has a low overall playrate in general sp why even bring his up at all, especially when 20% of the games he plays in are in bot lane and it's also his highest winrate position.

Second of all, if their playrates are not high enough to be considered relevant to diversity then the play rates of Twitch Jungle, Ezreal and Varus mid, and Quinn top are so not high enough to make solid arguments that ADCs have lane diversity and are capable of being played bot. Just for reference, Quinn top has a 51% winrate(lower than yasuo bot) and a play rate of 1.46%(only slightly higher than yasuo bot). By the logic that yasuo bots play rate is too low to count, Quinn's is also too low to count.

Jungle Twitch? 48% winrate and a whopping play rate of .59%. Compared to heimer bot who has a massive winrate of 53% and a play rate of .65%. If these stats dont flight for heimer, why the hell do they fly for twitch?

Ezreal/Varus mid have such low pick rates they dont even show up on OP.gg. Yet Swain bots winrate of nearly 51% and pick rate of .79% doesn't count.

This express bias is why the boards cannot be taken seriously.
