Individual skill is always relevant. However, there is a reason why champs become popular bans/picks. This is why tier lists exist. Tiers, though certainly debatable, just try to represent the power distribution across the character roster. For instance, using a lower-rated champ for a tier list does not mean said champ is weak per se, but it can technically mean you are using a handicap when a higher-rated and safer pick could be used in their place.

Nonetheless, ultimately, a weapon's greatest weakness is their user.
