The Pro Gap

“Pros play a different game.” This puts a number on it: every champion's pick, ban, and win-rate value in professional play plotted against its value on the ranked ladder. The champions furthest from the diagonal are the ones the two worlds value most differently — pro-jail darlings on one end, soloqueue stompers pros won't touch on the other.

Each dot is a champion: ladder presence on the X axis, pro presence on the Y axis. The dashed line is “valued the same in both.” Dots above it are pro-skewed; dots below are ladder-skewed. The further from the line, the more “different game” the champion is.
