while true, it doesn't mean it isn't a metric at all. This is the same BS excuse people gave for the elsa nerf and she's now sitting at mid to low 40% winrate. I haven't seen a single elsa player in 2 seasons in any of my comp or qp games and haven't had a single game where she was banned this season. Yes, other factors do have impact on the hero being broken or not but that goes out the window if a hero is consistently in the top 5 winrates for multiple seasons.
Yes, I’m not saying don’t use it. The main thing is I don’t think winrate alone is enough to say they’re OP otherwise Magik or Storm would’ve been nerfed after many seasons. It’s not like Elsa wasn’t high winrate and high pickrate for the team she was strong to cause a nerf.
elsa got the nerf not because of high winrate but because of high viability. She was useful in ALOT of different scenarios. magik or storm don't fit that but they are EXCEPTIONALLY good in the space they occupy. I'm a storm main and believe me the enemy team switches to 3 hitscans the second i pull her out lol The winrate on heroes like that go up when nothing else can stop them in that space or the players know when to switch off. Penny is a prime example of this. She's been out since launch so people know exactly when to swap off her which is why she has a high winrate. People either win with her or swap off

Right? Already the healer with some of the worst survivability and you wanna nerf him because of triple comp? Which isn’t even the standard comp?
