Not really, he doubles down on using soloQ winrate and drawing a trend based on winrate change by skill level to try to guess how good the champion would be in pro play.

It's an interesting framework and is most likely generally true, but I don't think it's precise enough to argue on individual examples based on it.

I think Phreak's interpretation of MSI winrate is just confirmation bias, due to having set up that ranking strategy, he searches for signs that will prove him right.

I know I brought it on myself with the tweet, but the "discounting RNG games" tweet really should not be in the discussion as much as it is.

It's a tweet that takes literally incorrect data from someone else on Reddit and it ends up being a primary focal point for any one detracting from my argument because, admittedly, it's not a good use of really anything. But it's an off-hand tweet. It wasn't mean to be a serious piece of discussion.

The video stands on its own merits I believe and I welcome people dissecting that.

It's not that it's disingenuous for other people to attack the initial tweet; it makes sense to do so. It just rubs me the wrong way is all because clearly it's not got the same level of attention to detail put into it.
