You nerfed akali...who has a 45% - 46% winrate depending on the source...her winrate just dropped 1% more... like seriously WTF is wrong with you?!?!? Your company is a mess! Of a 140 champions, you nerf the one with the second lowest winrate! I mean what is your goal?!?!

Champion.gg 43% winrate...

Akali is now competing with ryze and sej for lowest winrate.

Congratulations! You have ruined akali again! Good thing you spent all that dough releasing a skin for a champ with a 43% winrate...

It's almost like you don't want to make money off of your coolest new skin. You're like "I'm gonna release a skin and make a big promo thing for this champ, but I'm going to make her unplayable because I don't want anyone to buy a KDA skin because I hate money!" Thats you. That's what you sound like Riot.

Winrate means almost nothing and there is really good reason why her winrate was low she has almost a 80% ban rate meaning the games she was picked in its mostly vs a team she will not be good into. Stats like winrate are misleading if you do not understand what goes into winrate.

Oh ok, then why do people pick meta champs? Why are kaisa and lucian so popular? So by your logic, champs have low wonrates because people ban them and they have bad matchups, and not because they are weak in the current meta. Fascinating, are a wizard or something? I bet you have a 4.0 at MIT! You are so smart!

Akali is meta wtf whats why she is banned. Why you being up lucian and kaisa they have the highest ban rate out of the adc in diamond and a average winrate helping my point. Also not every champion has a high banrate like look at champions when high banrates there winrates are low to average my argument only works for champions with a high ban rates it can not be used on champions with low bans rates and if akali was weak in the meta her ban rate would not be around 80 and again winrate means nothing, if you have to prove you point using winrate as the main argument it shows you do not understand how winrate is made up.

Akali has a high ban rate because she is annoying, noit because she is good or meta. She is being banned for the same reason yasuo and zed get banned. They all have kits that are annoying to deal with, but don't necessarily win games. Her ban rate has nothing to do with how effective she is at actually winning games. That would be her winrate, which is trash. You don't seem to grasp this very well. I don't think you have ever studied statistics and don't seem to understand what the numbers actually represent. And I bring up Kaisa and lucian because their winrates are very high which is why they are the flavor of the month right now. It's wierd to me that you think banrate is representative of how effective a champ is at winning games, and think winrate does NOT represent how effective a champ is at winning a game. Did you vote for Trump?

Additionally, if you have played this long enough you would know that no matter how high Yasuo's ban rate is, if his winrate tanks Riot will quickly buff him every single time because he is a popular champion.
