Sorry, but if those win rate factors you gave were accurate... Some champions that are now hovering on low rates should be dominating soloQ.

High pick rate is just as revelant as low rate, it just has a different meaning. High pickrate reduces win rate, low pick rate increases it, with few exceptional cases, where it doesn't. If something has high win rate and high pick rate, it basically means its true rate is even higher, and if the pick % was reduced, you'd see as insane numbers as almost 60%.

Take Ashe there, before her rework, the winrate wasn't so bad already. After the rework, her win rate ascended to as ridiculous numbers as 57%, but her pick rate remained low. When amount of picks begun to increase, her win rate also started going down, right now reaching 54%. Those statistics are taken from diamond soloQ, just to clarify.

Vladimir also was about to reach the peaks of top win rates, and when his pick rate increased, the win rate went down.

And for the low pick rate increasing win rate - Karthus is a fine example. He's got so obviously clear weaknesses it can be abused all the way around. But, his rate is +52% at the moment, thanks to the fact he is picked only by dedicated mains.

It applies to almost every pick in the game, really.
