Let's Talk Stats w/ a PSA to Gameplay

Statistics is often times Gameplay's biggest enemy, as it refutes people's flawed beliefs.

Draven: 53% win-rate, 9.2% play rate, 31% ban-rate

Tristana: 51.5% win-rate, 34% play-rate, 24% ban-rate

Twitch: 52% win-rate, 20% pick-rate, 33.5% ban-rate

Janna: 57% win-rate, 24% pick-rate, 58% ban-rate

You replace some of these names with Zed, Yasuo, Riven, Lee etc the boards would be plastered with complaints. It goes both ways though:

Caitlyn: 45% win-rate, 11% play-rate, 9% ban-rate

Syndra: 47% win-rate, 7.4% play-rate, 7.4% ban-rate

Leblanc: 47.6% win-rate, 4.5% play-rate, 10.3% ban-rate

Rengar (my poor kitty): 48% win-rate, 3.3% play-rate, 0.8% ban-rate

**Some of the most hated champions are actually quite under-powered atm. **

It requires maturity to recognize the difference between a perceived toxic kit and a strong kit, a maturity that honestly many of us lack. So please stop with the whole "I hate this champion therefor they must be OP!!!" logic. It's flawed, immature, and repetitive. If you wish to debate a champions power level, do not bring up their kit. If you talk about one's kit you are talking about their toxicity, or the enjoyment that comes from their gameplay, not their actual strength in a game. The only time it would be relevant to bring up a champion's kit instead of their stats is if you were addressing a way to adjust their power-level.
