Hello fellow Summoners (or just players, since Summoners are no longer a thing?), my name is Gusicles. Why is that important? It isn't. I'm your average joe. But something has piqued my interests recently- something that, if gets done, could provide some interesting information that can help us reflect on the status of the game. I want to take information and make it into charts. I don't know, I'm guess I'm just a dweeb or something but I have the inclination to do so right now. So what information can help us reflect on the game's health? Well, I thought about it for around 10 minutes and came to this conclusion:

I'm going to need 50 of you to post answers to these following questions. After at least 50 people post answers, I'll make a new post with the graphs displaying the results and some personal reflections. Sounds like a lot of FUN, right? Well, here are some things to keep in mind:

  • Please do not give bogus information. I just want to make some accurate graphs, man.
  • Keep in mind this is convenience sample so resulting data could have bias.
  • Give me time to complete the graphs. 50 posts or PMs with 5 data points each isn't exactly easy to make right away.
  • Why is this in Gameplay & Balance? Because the questions I'm asking are based on gameplay and balance.

Anyways, these are the questions I need you guys to so very generously, kindly, answer:

  • **1: ** What is your rank? [Bronze/Silver/Gold/Plat/Diamond/Master+]
  • ** 2: ** What is your main role? [Top/Mid/ADC/Support/Jungle]
  • ** 3:** Rate your satisfaction with League. [1 being poor to 5 being excellent]
  • 4: What are the top 3 champions you consider to be overpowered?
  • 5: What are the top 3 champions you consider to be underpowered?

Pretty easy right? At least easier than any test I've ever taken. But here's an example anyway:

  1. Silver
  2. Support
  3. 3
  4. Riven, Vayne, Moredekaiser
  5. Sejuani, Evelynn, Taric

That's it, yo! Come on, get energized and give some information so we can further explore the statistical relationships between these questions.

tl;dr : answer the questions lazy

Silver Mid and Jungle 4 Vayne, Riven and Darius There are no underpowered champions. There are underplayed champions, but even those like Urgot can be good in the right hands.

Thank you guys for your comments. And yes, Unranked does count for those who want to know! Hopefully I do get 50 data points to finish this though.
