Can we stop calling adc's overpowered please?

If you look at the top 30 champions for win rates there's not a single adc there (I'm not counting Kai'sa because she literally just came out, and I'm not counting Quinn because almost no one plays her). And Riot recently nerfed them indirectly with the red buff changes.

winrate for marksmen specifically is pushed towards the 50% mark, because you always have one marksman on each side. one of them always has to win, and one of them always has to lose.

considering the difference in which one you pick is relatively small, since theyre all playing the same anyways, the 50% winrate of adc means theyre all relatively balanced towards each other. however, they can still be overpowered and have too much game agency compared to other champions on other positions of the map.

You do realize there's always an ADC on both sides, right?

And about a total of two of them aren't completely and utterly busted, and they're never played anyway, so you can't argue the "good" ones' winrate will feast on the bad ones.

yeah and the fact even even linked a site with as much bullshit data as champion.gg is bad enough.

winrate tell you if a champsion is OP. assuming it is taken into account with other stats and is form an accurate site that donest blatently choose to ignore 99.9% of data like champsion.gg and op.gg do

what winrate CANNOT tell you if if CLASSES are "OP"

That data comes from over 7000 games (Xin Zhao support I mean). I think that's enough to draw a conclusion from.

Win rates don't mean anything. On the website you linked, Xin Zhao support has the highest win rate out of every champion. That doesn't mean it's good, just like how low win rates don't necessarily mean a champion is bad.
