"19 to 6 on the kills as they continue to chock up... those... just getting it!"
Because it hasn't been updated in 6 months, and only really was active for 2 months?

not on its own, but if something has a high pickrate and a high winrate that contributes to the conclusion that the champion is "overpowered". I'm not sure of her pickrate, but if she has a relatively high pickrate and her winrate is high, there is a good possibility that she is "overpowered". there's also more information to be looked at like the winrate across leagues or even regions. according to lolking, her pickrate is like 34% (quite high) and her winrate 54% (again quite high) which means she's probably too strong. could also make the same argument for stuff like sejuani. amumu also has a decent pickrate and high winrate, but his popularity lies in the bronze - diamond brackets (at least for NA) and jinx has a high pickrate and winrate anywhere from bronze - masters/challenger)
Does anyone ever just suddenly feel like you understood something that drastically improved your play? Like just a week ago I was losing lane consistently, then one day I realized how easy it is to win lane, and average like a 4.0kda now, and started skyrocketting in rank. It really just happened overnight.
The weirdest part is that I don't even know what I'm doing better. Skill in league is so arbitrary for me idk
Sure, but if a champion has the highest win rate at their position and is second most popular, that's surely indicative of something. It's not like Galio top that has a really high win rate but has a 0.3% play rate; Jinx is at 30.75%.

Uhh yes, yes it is. It's quite clearly an indicator of champion power.
this is total bullshit. winrate is skewed by character popularity in a particular elo bracket as well as whether or not it is favored in ranked 5s or solo queue and many other things.
it's honestly not indicative of anything more than what character wins the most for the lower 99% of the playerbase
I hope you guys don't mind me asking more match up questions. You guys are a pretty good source of information!
When people play Vladimir, do you guys play him top or mid? Is there a lane that he tends to do better in?
I've been dabbling with playing him mid, and he feels pretty good. Cassiopeia was a tough match up for me as Vladimir, but I don't know if that's because she does well against him or if I just lack experience as Vladimir.

Those are just the most impactful examples I can think of, it isn't uncommon. But people with a hint of awareness would know that.
Lissandra is such a nice counter to Kat. Easiest lane of my entire life.
Who does good against Lissandra? I play a lot of melee top laners and Lissandra feels pretty oppressive haha.
Also, I see Lissandra top, but does anyone play her mid? Or is that a thing of the past?
I remember one game I had trouble against a Sion. I was able to hold sway over the lane early game, but after he picked up SV/Giant's/Merc I just couldn't keep up manawise to contend with the bulk/regen. Then again, I'm not the best player in the world so it might have been easier that I was performing at.
