Karthus bot lane has a 55.5% wr

And ppl here want to argue on how "powerful" adcs are lmao, even KARTHUS auto wins lane (a champ who gets destroyed early game by basically every champion mid) vs adcs.

You literally ban lucian and then the adc role is dead, you can play anything and stomp whoever adc they picked.

Still waiting for riot to fix the adc role.

To fix ADCs, we must remove the root of the problem.

The same as Quinn top, the champion people use to say ADCs have lane diversity.

That's some fake ass fucking news right here boy 52.3% WR and 0.4% pick rate. When you feel the need to lie about a stat that wouldn't matter because the pick rate is so insanely low to prove you broken champ type is weak you kinda just prove the opposite.

they aren't "lying" its more like ignorance. they just dont know how to look up any websites other than literally the worst one when it come to winrates and shit like that (op.gg) lmao. like anyone can to lolalytics, leagueofgraphs or champion.gg but no, lets just use the autismo op. Looked up quinn and she only has a 51% winrate and .7% playrate top so i guess karthus is super picked even though he is ranked 18th out of 21 "adc" champions.

Maybe people will check multiple decent sites for once.

2% pick rate, sightly below 55% atm (more ppl are picking it and its decreasing it a bit probably, still higher than every adc in the game by a good margin).

Your link is also mixing last patch data with current patch, which obviously will not work well.

Nice try though but im the right one here.

Nice karthus has one of the lowest pick rates in the adc role if you put him there. He is also only getting picked in diamond+ and just a tiny bit in plat lol. He is good bot because hes karthus and it doesnt matter how many times he dies or falls behind. You can put him anywhere and the result will be the exact same.

Pretty usre Karthus winrate comes from the fact that the new Dark Harvest makes his Ultimate a 5 drop Nuclear Bomb...

Karthus is strong because if you can hit his single target Q, he outdamages every champion in the game. He's actually strong early game, as long as you can hit it. I imagine karthus bot is being played by onetricks (1.16% playrate) who are good at him, something similar happens with Asol.

ADCs aren't that weak right now, they still have Ezreal Kaisa but they aren't as oppressive as like Twitch

imo adcs are fine rn

his pick rate is approximately 1 percent. It's because his Q is in essense his auto attack, and it has a 875 range. That is 225 units longer than the longest ADC attack range, which is Caitlyn at 650 units. Since Karthus is a immobile damage dealer, he chunks down squishies really quickly. Not quite assassin quick but close. This way, he'll outduel any ADC, especially since an isolated Q deals double damage. Even if the ADC hugs the tower, he'll build raw AP and ult you. With the Celerity change, one-shots don't occur(as far as I know) anymore, but it's still like 3/4th of your health bar. It's essentially the tank vs marksman situation, where one outranges the other.

His pick rate is on par with Quinn Top, whom everyone uses as an example of ADC lane diversity. Its also higher than Twitch Jungle who has a sub 1% pick rate.

Pick rate shouldn't matter for non marksmen. He and other mages like him, are extremely oppressive in bot lane.

BenLegend4431 votes

not always, but then most supports are mages, so you see them a lot. Lux and Morgana are only annoying AF because of their root. Soraka shuts Karthus down super hard, but she can't do much against a normal marksmen, cause they don't need abilities, only autos. Zilean is one of those mages that depend on your pick, can be oppressive AF or no problem at all. If you pick a immobile ADC such as Caitlyn or Ashe, you'll get rekt easily by his bombs. If you pick Kai'Sa or Xayah, he won't be that much of a problem. The only reason that mages are oppressive in bot is because they outrange you. If you close that gap, they can't shut you down. This is why with most marksmen Karthus is annoying to go up against, but with some marksmen that can go AP or have gap closers he ain't a problem.

Why did you leave out the pick rate?

OtterlyLost2 votes

Because it's the same as Quinn top, a champion that people like to try and use to prove ADCs have lane diversity?

So in which if they have a shitty pickrate, high winrates means nothing at all.

So in which if top mains can whine about Quinn top, ADC mains can whine about Karthus, Heimer, and Swain all being horrendously oppressive picks

Similar to the concept where we're allowed to complain about Yasuo despite him having a low winrate but high pickrate. Simple as that.

I mean you can whine about those 3 picks if you want, but does it even matter at all if you're gonna see them in 1 out of 20 games?

Where in the fuck are these stats from? PLease dont say you just went onto op.gg only

Dark Harvest is getting hot-fix nerfed. Dark Harvest is the only reason Karthus is doing anything remotely above 50%.
