When Riot looks at Win Rates, why don't they look at Play Rates as well?
Skarner has a 53.33% win rate... and has a 1.45% play rate. Of course this is majority of Skarner mains playing Skarner and winning.
Honestly, looking at Champion.gg, here are champs I'd give buffs because of low WR and PR:
has a win rate of 49.95% and a play rate of 1.16%
shows that she has a low win rate of 48.99% and a play rate of 1.48%
who sits at 48.34% and has a play rate of 1.45%
I'm not sure about, he has a low 48.75% win rate but has a play rate of 2.16%
is even more so... he has a 49.58% and has a play rate of 3.21%
just the same has 49.35% win rate and a play rate of 3.13%3
has a 49.61% win rate and a 1.6% play rate
has a 47.62% win rate and only a 2.68% play rate
is very low in the win rates, 47.02 and has a play rate of 1.38% (that's sad)
is at a 49.19% win rate and has a 2.34% play rate
(its strange, but...) his win rate is at 43.76%, yet he does have a 4.4% play rate...
as a ADC sits at 46.89% with a 1.79% play rate
has a 49.36% win rate and a 2.31% play rate
(just revert him... please)
(this scares me...) he has a 44.99% win rate and a 1.71% play rate
sits at 46.35% even though he has a 2.78% play rate
doesn't need buffs, but by goodness don't nerf him when he has such a low play rate
has a 48.45% win rate and only a 0.18% play rate
has a 45.86% win rate and has a 3.32% play rate
somehow has a 48.83% win rate and only a 2% play rate
(I hope Repetoir gets some inspiration soon)
surprisingly has a 48.34% win rate and only a 1.68% play rate
and
who is at a 49.94% win rate with a 1.97% play rate
And here are the ones I see that could use a nerf... using the same website:
may only have 52.36%, but that play rate is 10.45%
(...) he pretty much has 52.76% win rate and has a play rate of 16.61%
(I really didn't want Brand on this list, but) he has a 56.29% win rate and 10.98% play rate
(I also don't want this guy on the list but...) he has a 51.4% win rate and 11.06% play rate
(I wish this was a joke but...) a 51.56% win rate and 11.37% play rate
has a 54.06% win rate and a 13.7% play rate
has a 51.39% win rate and a 15.64% play rate
has a 52.67% win rate and a 11.32% play rate
has a 54.53% win rate and a 10.78% play rate
has a 51.44 win rate and a 10.31% play rate
has a 53.89% win rate and a 14.43% play rate
has a 50.11 win rate and a 13.1% play rate
(just got some nerfs on the PBE so no reason saying her win rate and play rate...)
is breaking a record here... a 52.06 win rate and a 21.14 play rate
and
wait a second... 53.28% win rate... 34.1% play rate..... hm
The rest are okay...
well,
and
have over 30% play rates but are under my limit on win rates.
I set my standards for buffs to "bellow 50% and (depending on win rate) their play rates" and for nerfs they must have "above 50% win rate and have above a 10% win rate".
has a astonishing 31% play rate, but he still has a 49.26 win rate... I don't know. I still find him a better enemy support than a Blitzcrank (just make it so that AD items don't work as great for him).
on the other hand has a crazy 34.47% play rate while having a 48.27% win rate.
What do you guys think? Are the ones shown deserving of buffs/nerfs?
