Well, yes, they are accurate. There are more, but those are usually only responsible for 1-2% at best. As for your champions that would be dominating, which champions would those be? Because I am not aware of any.

No, high pick rate actually has no effect. Low pick rate (below 5%) massively increases win rate (the closer you get to 1% or less, the more effect it has). This is because the lower the pick rate, the higher is the chance for 2 things to happen. 1, them being picked exclusively in situations that benefit them. 2, them being picked by dedicated players who mastered them.

However, as you can guess, both of these already become irrelevant after the 5% mark. And any higher than that has no impact. Thats logical of course, because anything after that doesnt do anything.

Now you might say "oh but inexperienced players might pick that champion and suck at him", thats factor 2, difficulty. Easier champions are less likely to be played bad, more difficult champions less likely to be played good. Since every win rate measures champions in comparision to other champions, that means that being easier actually increases you win rate, being more difficult decreases. The trick here is that difficulty kinda gets negated at very low pick rates, because of the 2nd thing that might happen, dedicated players that mastered the champion.

Ok, in case of the Ashe thing, I actually checked the numbers. She never reached 57% after her rework. So, thats either a lie or you comically misread numbers. Additionally, judging it based on a reworked champion is a bad idea, since those have a period where their win rate is inaccurate due to people getting used to her.

Vladimir, again, has no change in pick or win rate in a long time. So again, thats either a lie or you misread numbers. So far you failed to produce a single example, and here is the thing. You wont be able to produce one, because its simply wrong. Anything above roughly 5% does not matter. Only low pick rate matters, not high pick rate.
