Game balance is really hard.

Everyone at some point gets the urge to scream about how the devs are stupid and this champion's broken why do the devs not fix their game blah blah blah

but game devs have an impossible task on their hands.

Today I want to talk about statistics. And why winrates, pickrates and other similar stats can be extremely misleading and balancing around them can actually hurt your game.
