Nice post, I'm not sure if you can post it under the actual LoL subforum but if you can it can generate more discussion I'm sure. The post is nice, it gives a good insight and comparison between the regions (KR, NA, EU) and some of the analysis of trends is pretty interesting but the ones about the actual champion picks and percentages is stuff that is kind of known already at the moment but also nice to see on paper. Keep it up.

The win rate for all 30 challengers range from 55% to 68%. Surprisingly, the similar win% can be find in top players for BW/SC2. We can use that win rate percentage to measure our own progress and ability. If you played 250 games of league and your win rate is 50% and you are struck in gold 3 you're not substantially better than gold 3. All other statements questionable.



Fixed that for you.

Thanks for that post, I'm not sure if Challenger-level stats translates well to lower leagues, but certainly few things worth keeping in mind.
Americans don't like to use unblockables, it is considered not honest. You press a button at the wrong time and hit the other person, you are random, not a top player. You DP Sim's far fierce, it is random and not honest.

Man, still curious how Apdo would do if he wasn't banned from pro gaming. Having two accounts in the KR top 10 is quite something.

They play Draven now and then in pro games. Over the course of this season we've seen a handful of Draven picks + bans.

I feel like if you're a Korean pro gamer you only get to play him once in your career and then he either gets permabanned or your team will never allow you to touch him again.
