It ' s like a scene from Koyaanisquatsi . <| sep |> I ' ll tell you why . Because winrate is as you said a lot about skill floor . but also about how conditional the pick itself is . Over the course of all the games people play in a patch , a champ is gonna get picked with and against a huge variety of comps . Its save to say that his overall winrate represents how well he performs on average regardless of what comp he ' s in and what comp he ' s against , due to the nature of the really large sample size and the vast majority of players not selectively picking champions . That ' s also why I have stupid winrates on a lot of champs . Like , 86 % as jungle Shen . Not because Jungle Shen is strong . But because I know the champion well enough to play him at a decent level and selectively pick him in the right scenarios . Blitzcrank on the other hand is my only support for when I have to autofill and a really , really , really conditional pick at that . Lucian is a very niche pick as well , and very hard to play well in other words I dont hit the skillfloor of Lucian and honestly dont know when to pick himWinrate is all about how conditional a champion is , and how low the skill floor is . How sucessful you yourself are at that particular champion depends on your ability to play the champion and your ability to determin when to pick the champion . Winrate doesnt really say anything about a champs strength . Whether you look at a single players winrate with a champion , or every single players winrate with a champion it simply doesnt tell you anything about strength . You could maybe make a case for the winrate being an indicator for how metaresilient a champion is but in the end that just boils down to how conditional a champion is again , because a meta is essentialy just a lot of people picking a specific subset of champions due to perceived relative strength of that subset of champs .
