"Only OP champions are popular" 100% proof these boards are clueless.

44% winrate 43% winrate

Both of them still have a high pick rate :^) What happened clueless boards? Didn't you say people play champions based on how OP they are.

Certain agile and mobile melee assassin/fighters and fighter/assassins are popular not because "they are OP!!!", but because they are actually extremely FUN TO PLAY and have a high skill cap and challenging gameplay. No point and click easy mode, high risk (falling off hard and being useless) and high reward (snowballing the game).

Zed and Riven were the worst examples anyone could pull off regardless of win rate for this specific context...

Also, look at The Poopy Winrate

Poppy

Facts and statistics > your opinion void of any logic or reason behind it.

Oh there's plenty of logic behind my response, I just don't show my working.

Asking > Assuming

Nope, there really isn't, if there was you would show it.

TeCoolMageNov 17, 20151 votes

Well actually there is, I'm just not showing it.

Indominus BladeNov 17, 20151 votes

Yeah, same for your elo am I right?

TeCoolMageNov 17, 20151 votes

Probably.

What about poppy? She doesn't have a high pick rate, learn to comprehend English or leave.

TeCoolMageNov 17, 20152 votes

Learn some manners or leave. If you don't agree either that's not any board user's problem. My point was Winrate =/= OP, I never said anything about play rate.

There's a reason why you're getting down voted for an honest analysis, it's because you're being a huge jerk to whatever disagreeing reply comes up.

Implying I care about downvotes, just posted this to rek these clueless boards :) there was a thread with 100+ upvotes saying champions who are popular are popular because they are OP. Which is not true, yet the boards agreed, stay clueless.

Can you name like, more then two?

Actually there's a ton of flaws in your logic, some of which my first comment pointed out, but you weren't fast enough to catch my wit.

Also, down votes reflect a person's attitude and politeness, so you might want to work on that.

Here's a fact for you: Overpowered is a subjective term. For most people, winrate doesn't have any correlation with how "overpowered" a champion is. Champions like Thresh, Riven, and Lee Sin are frequently cited as being op, not because of high winrate, but because of how little counterplay it feels like you have against them when they snowball.

Indominus BladeNov 17, 20151 votes

Thresh, Riven and Lee Sin have some of the highest counter play in this game, low elo players cry about them becuase they get outplayed by people with sperior mechanix.

I am diamond, you are silver, difference in opinion and mentality is well reflected.

TeCoolMageNov 17, 20151 votes

Feel is the keyword, and so is low ELO.

disregardableNov 17, 20151 votes

It doesn't really matter if you don't think they're overpowered, though. :P You're responding to what other people call popular and overpowered. You didn't prove anyone wrong, because all you said was a champion they think is OP is popular. You didn't rek anyone, nice try tho.

Seeing as all 3 champions have been played in the LCS and worlds it seems not only low elo players struggle to find counterplay. Lee Sin was even a somewhat contested pick....
