40% pickrate

"but hes fun"

I litearlly, quite litearlly cannot see anyone do bad with this champ, early game no matter how I dominate him even if he goes 0/6, he still ends up facerolling at mid-late game

why is that?

I wish the Marksman update never occured.

No Ezreal, No Lucian, No Graves to deal with

"Burr hurr hurr we gave marksmen identity"

Everyone still picks from the trinity of the most OP marksmen at the time.

All the ADC update did was make them so cancerous they're invading jungle/mid/top. Lots of fun.

He's the highest pickrate of any champion overall, not just ADCs.

I hate the "but he/she's fun" argument. Its always fun to win so of course the champion that gives you the highest chance to win will be fun. This is a game and Riot made all the champions with having fun in mind, they didnt make a tax filer simulator because they wanted their players to NOT have fun.

Fun is also an opinion, last season i had 400 games on soraka because her playstyle was fun to me. But most other people wouldnt share that opinion, should riot not have nerfed soraka because her player base was having fun? Of course not, she needed nerfs.

Lol. Yeah right. I see 0/6 adcs carrying games all the time too.

its been about 5-6 months if i recall correctly. why because hes the safest pick of all adcs. no hard counters. good at all points of the game. he gives you pretty much everything you want

HES has heavy burst dmg and mobility but his aa range sucks.... u need to have someone jump on him before he snowballs or its gonna be to late just like any other fed adc they will destroy your whole team if they get a big lead

Probably cause you or your team are bad at teamfighting lategame or try to duel him?

His winrate drops really hard in longer games, his mid-late is one of the worst of any adc. I'd understand if you complain that no matter what, he wins lane/early scirmishes, as thats where he excels....but comlaning about lucian, one of the most snowball depending adc, because of his mid-late?

So what if he has a high pick rate? People pick him because he is a safe blind pick into most team comps/lane matchups. If you look at his stats he really doesn't do all that amazing. He's hovering just above a 50% win rate (and has been since his rework) and doesn't really dominate any lane matchup. So explain to me why he deserves nerfs?

Because these people correlate popularity with champion strength. Hence Ezreal with his 26% pickrate and 49% winrate is OP but Ashe with her 6% pickrate and 53% winrate is garbage.

meanwhile the unpopular champs who only have their mains and tend to know the in's and outos of the champs sti around 49 to 52%.

It is easier to preform well on Lucian then others might best way to explain the issue here.

Often claimed, yet no evidence is ever provided. Unpopular champions don't necessarily have more dedicated playerbases, and champion.gg proves this. Ashe has a low pickrate, low average games played, and still has a top tier winrate. Therefore, Ashe is strong.

If you look it across the board its actually around 50% pick rate with a 50% ish win rate
