Indeed. I would say its just indicative of a shallow champion pool with no niche picks that do well against that pool. Your typical soloq dominator is like the old rammus who was devastating in soloq because his weaknesses made him non meta, but were less exploitable without A team. | ||

- Champion is OP: if a champion is OP, then it's likely that someone who plays that champion wins more with it than their other less OP champions - Champion/role familiarity: A player who is good at a particular champion probably wins more with it than his off-champions. A player who is good at a particular role probably wins more with it than his off-roles - Game impact: This is still *potentially* a factor. Basically how this works out is that if a given role has lower game impact, then his winrates for individual champions in that role are likely to be closer to 50% because him playing exceptionally well at his good champions or exceptionally poorly at his bad champions are less likely to be game-deciding. There are other possible factors than this that I'm not thinking of, and aggregate winrate alone is probably not a good enough statistic to individually single out any one of these. | ||

Naturally, however, they will have champions they win more with, and lose more with. A higher than 50% average winrate means that this is one of the champions that they win more often with. There are a lot of possible factors that contribute to this, including: - Champion is OP: if a champion is OP, then it's likely that someone who plays that champion wins more with it than their other less OP champions - Champion/role familiarity: A player who is good at a particular champion probably wins more with it than his off-champions.

There are other possible factors than this that I'm not thinking of, and aggregate winrate alone is probably not a good enough statistic to individually single out any one of these. Theres also the fact that some players have pocket picks that are really really good in some comps/vs other comps, but which are not generally a good idea to pick. For example, I play Veigar alot, but there is so much stuff with/against that I just won't pick him for, since it just isn't a good idea if I want to win. This leads to when I do pick him, it's in a good game for it, which leads to a 70+% Veigar winrate. Yet Veigar really isn't that good of a champion right now. Edit: Same thing for stuff like old kassadin vs lux. | ||

With maybe the exception of Velkoz. Compare them to their closest champion and not the peak of the early champions (so Jinx to immobile AD's like Ashe and Kog'Maw; Velkoz to immobile mids like Lux). I mean Lissandra has a Dash/Teleport, Slow, Root, and Stun/Zhonya + Slow. That is a pretty amazing amount of utility for a burst mage On May 21 2014 19:44 MattBarry wrote: Sona is pretty darn versatile. Probably equal with Nami Sona is worthless*. *OK, not entirely worthless but pretty close. She is dominated in most every aspect by another support. | ||

TL;DR- Korean PC viewership of all-stars almost doubles from 750k from the 400k for S3WC. | ||

Eh, just buy more HP pots on a non-sustain champion. Ok for serious here. Sona isn't useless, she is great in a hard push composition against a defensive support but she is pretty terrible otherwise. She will probably get some play against Braum. The bonus AD from her Q and her poke allow a stronger AD against a weaker support (like Janna) to continually shove and take towers and snowball really fast. This was a lot stronger last season when junglers were ganking top all the time instead of bottom but it can still be potent. The problem is that this requires that both the support and AD are on the same page (and so super push), requires that you're able to stay ahead consistently (as soon as you fall behind you're super squishy and easy to engage onto) , and requires that you've got the composition to do this. This makes it really poor in soloqueue unless you're duo queueing Currently the Support/AD combinations that this works against basically don't exist and all the ones which are marginal all have tools to turn the situation around swiftly and permanently. | ||

Sona is squishy and immobile and that will be her main-weakness until they decide to possibly revert some of the nerfs they did to her. I like Sona, but nowadays i'd rather just pick morg/braum/gragas over her, so i don't feel like a 5th wheel with a good aoe-ult. | ||

Thresh vs Sona, I'd give thresh the upper hand any day. You can win against him if you do good poking before he gets all 3 skills, but hooks will be your death (obviously). | ||

I mean it's really cool to walk a tightrope over a pool of sharks and if you get to the end everyone thinks you're awesome, but if you fall off then everyone is like lol report Sona for feeding. | ||

midgame and post she's fine too because of high damage and aoe ult also she's weaker against tanky team comps, who are less vulnerable to her ults and damage, and don't rely on poke sona can heal. Champions with lots of CC and stuff like black shield are great against tanky comps because they protect the AD who can kill them | ||

Sona vs Leona though... that shit is utterly impossible for me. | ||
