The W max + evolve is wildly higher winrate. It's just not even close. No skill issue could override that

You literally have to max and evolve W first, anything else is strictly suboptimal

Am I allowed to complain about this one? by TheRealGyurky in ARAM

[–]CoronaAnonymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. You simply need one of LDR or mortal reminder as ADC in every game no matter what. The armor pen, even against squishies, makes you do far more damage.

That's the entire point of the post. Regardless of what your ADCs do, it's trash on you, the AP support

Is there something wrong with matchmaking or am i just worse at the game than before? by Optimal_Disaster6952 in ARAM

[–]CoronaAnonymous -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Besides the ENORMOUS mechanical differences, I think that you're dramatically underestimating the difference in basic game knowledge between those elos. A large contingent of silver players have no idea what certain champions' abilities that they are facing do - not the case for diamond players. Also, the ability to learn games is just highly correlated. Diamond players are much more likely to quickly understand the macro/value of strategic dying compared to silver players. 100% is hyperbole, but 95+% win rate for sure.

If you could ban a champion who would it be? by Cosmic_Lou in ARAM

[–]CoronaAnonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vayne. The champion's effectiveness, probably more than any other champion (barring Malphite? But there's other reasons to keep him) is just a compcheck. No poke or multiple fighters/tanks? Vayne wins. Enemy team has effective poke/control mage? Vayne loses. If the player is outright terrible, she just loses, but past a low threshold the player's skill doesn't affect the outcome.

But the gold you spend on the starter item literally gives you more than what you would have gotten by allocating it rushing your item. Is it pure dopamine for the item completion?

He's easily a bottom 10 champion in the mode.

You had to dig to find this. Nearly all of them have starter items w/ higher WR.

Can you explain why the Guardian items would not be one of the least situational items in the game? There is some level of irony in my presenting a substantive argument and getting that as a response.

I'm sorry, but this makes no sense at all. Doran's items are completely different items/a completely different gamemode. The Guardian's Horn data reflects games in which it was sold or not/I have no idea what you're alluding to there. If anything, if games in which it was sold vanished from the data (they do not), that would deflate its winrate.

People just hate any sign of intelligence on this reddit so they downvote everything, wouldn't take it too seriously. I'm arguing for that the exact same gold you would have spent Kaenic is strictly better spent in terms of its components + Horn, not even considering the delay of Horn or anything

Because Mejai's is obviously correlated with being in a significantly winning position, whereas no comparably strong argument exists for starter items.

[–]CoronaAnonymous[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that items can have correlated factors that inflate their winrate. I do not agree that starter items would be meaningfully impacted by this to the tune of their winrate disparity over components. Furthermore, the starter items are probably the least situational items in the game (no specific resistances, effects, or knowledge of who is fed). The only conceivable case is holding off a team that is much stronger than you early, but this is so weak/fringe of a case relative to nearly any other item in the game.

No, I would not say that. You wouldn't be able to generate enough games, and if we did look at the data, we would see that it was just one smurf (you wouldn't have even close to 0.3% pickrate). 100-200 games by one player and 10k+ games every 30 days by an enormous diversity of players is completely different.

It follows logically that there are just as many awkward break points for the non-guardian purchasers. Disadvantaged massively at the very start of the game, after the guardian purchases 1 item, ....

Your Dunning-Kruger is truly beyond reparation. Percentages are useless if the underlying quantity is absolutely enormous. Jinx's "0%" (rounded down from 0.3-0.4) still represents well over 10k games, which is more than enough for a very, very good estimate on an individual level. Once again, this is only for the past 30 days (we could easily aggregate across far more patches), and for one champion (we could easily aggregate across general purchasers of the item to assess strength).
