Why do people keep using winrate as an arguement

Those stats are so skewed and don't tell the whole story

How many champions are simply solo Q shit stompers, but fail completely against Coordinated teams in ranked 5s play?

Do you acount that Brand's ult is effective in solo Q simply because people can't communicate as much as they would in ranked 5s and it gets easy bounces? Maybe that's why he does well in solo Q.

In Dota we have wisp who literally has a 38% winrate for years and no one cares because its solo Q and everyone knows hes super good in coordinated teams.

Likewise Zeus isn't considered OP despite having a 60% winrate and every new patch itemization favors him.

What other factual metric do you wish to judge by? Also plenty of people care not what coordinated pro play is like considering 99 percent of us will never play that way.

What I don’t get is someone who is so bad they are basically inting in your game and you call them out on it and they’re response is your winrate. Like yeah dude, my winrate is shit because of people like you. Check every other stat I have...the issue isn’t me.

becuase if winrate is gets to higher than 55% or lower than 44% pretty much any other variable in existence can't put it in an acceptable range...
