Cassio/Ziggs have everything (almost) for competitive play but they are almost never played there.

I dont see in your ranking how any assassin could be played beyond normals but they are played in competitive play too.

Renekton is for sure safe but has few CC, doesnt scale well and doesnt have great synergies. He's mostly about early game and buidling tanky because nothing else scales good on him. However he is abused in competitive play.

Kayle has almost nothing to be played competitively (according to your ranking system) except good early game for zoning power.

In the end I find your ranking system to be really poor (what does 'synergy' exactly means?) and it has probably too many exceptions (you can for sure answer with "yes but this particular champion has this and that too and this does not appear here") to be of any use really.

As a last example Zed is not safe (melee), no CC, no synergy, no global presence but omfgOPdmgPLSnerfthisshit with makes him a pubstomper for low Elo for your ranking. And you say in the end yourself : a champion can be played anywhere whatever my ranking says which makes it obsolete by itself.

So your ranking can at best give an idea of the best place between low elo and competitive play for a given champion with these (subjective?) criteria, but with many exceptions : this is why I call it 'poor'.
