Why is a 52% wr with a sub 7% playrate and high banrate the norm for a good midlaner?

Like take 5 most OP midlaners rn (u.gg stats Plat+)

Diana: 52.5% wr 9% playrate 25% banrate

Kassadin: 51.6% wr 7.5% playrate 28% banrate

Katarina: 52.8% wr 8% playrate 10% banrate

Zed: 50% winrate 8% Playrate 22% banrate (Only normal stat champ on this list)

Fizz: 51.8% wr 7% playrate 12% banrate.

Like champs like Zed have never been bad or too OP in the midlane for a while and have a kit which you can somewhat outplay but can also outplay you (I`m an ADC main and im fine with zed over those other champs). But now we are at the stage where champs with annoying and anti-fun kits (Ekko and Vladamir are next and last of S+ tier) get to also be dominant in the midlane and considering they arent getting nerfed soon, I guess Riot is OK with the most played champions also having the highest winrates (This is just for midlane rn).

PS: NO i dont care that another one of you silver Katarina mains who absolutely get crushed on any other champ think she is fun to play against and has decent counterplay in her kit.

The only stat you're looking at for 'normal' is winrate. Zed has one of the highest ban rates in your list and you call that 'normal'.

lmao. Zed is an AD mage with better scaling than any of the champs you listed, in fact the single assassin out of those that can 1v1 bruisers and tanks come late game thanks to the exponential scaling from his ult's damage and the highest AD scalings of any AD assassin only rivaled in scaling by Fizz and Akali, and Fizz has a far worse early lane on top of requiring melee range to do all his damage.

Zed has an effective 1200+ engagement range with his W and ult, an immunity window built into an ult that makes him do 33% more damage on top of having 2 shadows to juke to in case his R didn't juke your already important skills.

The only thing holding Zed back in stats is that most peoples can't land Q's worth their lives.

I'll take Katarina, Fizz, or Diana any day. All they do is go in, get CC'd since they need melee range to do much of their burst, and within one stun they die to 3 ADC autos on top of the collateral damage from the enemy team.

Neither Katarina, Diana, or Fizz come either with a passive that's worth 2 longswords for CS'ing trivially as well.
