no one said pros are infallible, but they are by far the best metric for determining champ balance, not solo queue shitters.
When you look at solo queue balance, you have to account for
player skill in general
player skill at that champion
how hard the champ is to play
how high the skill ceiling on a champ is
skill of the teams relative to each other
stuff like secondaries/autofill
general shit happens.
and a couple other things
there's so much that can affect the data that you can't control for.
when pro players test a champion, the only factors affecting it are:
champion power
general shit happens.
pro players are roughly as skilled as each other and roughly as good at a champion as they can be. It produces more reliable data.
Yeah that's not true at all. There are massive skill disparities in pro play...
