I tend to agree with nyannyankiller, scripters spike (even marginally) the winrates of some of those champions that are in theory the strongest if untouched, like xerath. Though it's still clear that he's in a way better spot right now because he gained in popularity while climbing the winrate ladder as an adc (meaning the weight of scripters in the average winrate is lower, people wanting to see if he's good now are less likely to be scripters themselves).

But his pick rate rose again only since 7.3, due to the armor pen nerf (less threats) and the new BotRK (more power, and people want to test the usual BotRK users, to see if they are good now).

I don't know if stormraider is a scripter thing only or a legit way to make him work though, I might need some hindsight from a ko'maw player.
