PSA: Just quoting Stats doesn't make your argument valid.

Just spouting "X win rate, or X ban rate" and throwing in some Hyperbole's, aren't valid arguments. Heck I'd say they're just spam, since they don't add anything to the conversation.

If you're going to make an argument for a champion being broken, OP, terrible, annoying, etc. At least give a good argument with facts, substances and some reasoning beyond one statistic. And your much more likely to be listened too by Riot. As I guarantee they really don't give a shit about your Circle jerk posts, that tell them nothing beyond that your mad.

So please, when making an argument, don't just spout shit, that doesn't add anything or benefit anyone.

Well....if a champion has a high ban and/or win rate among most if not all divisions....it's safe to say that it is probably because it is op.....

I mean... how does one prove a champion is OP to someone who have never faced them? You are basically saying "prove it to me without presenting any facts"... That is impossible. If a champion has a high pick rate and a high winrate across multiple ranks/elos, the champion is most likely too strong. Should I describe a specific situation to you? That doesn't prove anything either. The only way to prove a champion is too strong is to look at how they are performing across all ranks and all regions. Winrate, Pickrate, Banrate, # of Games Played, etc. these kind of statistics are how you show it.

Statistics provide objective evidence which is more valuable than anecdotal evidence. Statistics provide an unbiased base for an argument to stand based on the interpretation of said results.
