Stop calling mobile champs " super OP"

A few champions recently get a lot of negative "press" from the boards, specifically: Yasuo Riven Zed LeBlanc Kalista I am sorry, but a lot of these champions really don't need to be nerfed. Let's put it this way - sans Riven, NONE of these champions have more than a 50% win rate over the past month. The tank meta and cinderhulk + the noticeable nerfs to yasuo and riven about a year ago made them no longer op. CertainlyT also gets a lot of bad press. I know this is gonna get a lot of downvotes, but I kinda like the way certainltyT's champions kits' mesh well together, unlike, for example, Twisted fate. He has a cs passive, a poke Q, a cc W an aspd e and a teleport ult. Wtf? I actually LIKE twisted fate, but his design is not that cohesive and rito has been getting better about this - I. E. Sion rework.
Let's examine the champions Zed is a bit above average, and is about to receive a nerf making him average or even subpar Riven is only good in soloq where ppl dont cc her and also ppl dont like her because of the ppl who play her (another story) Yasuo is just blatantly underpowered. Before the nerfs to his shield, e, and windwall he was definitely op, but now he is not that good LeBlanc is the outlier here - I admit she is pretty op Kalista, while annoying to play against, has terrible early gave (pre 15 minutes ish) and doesnt scale as hard as trist, jinx, etc nor does she burst as hard as graves or ezreal. tldr; while these champs may be annoying and a TAD overtuned, they get way too much negativity.

Yea because fighting Leblanc isn't frustrating at all, we should be able to account for her being at any 4 possible locations and should be able to lock her down. And when we do lock her down, we get to play a little guessing game. 50% chance you kill the real LeBlanc, or 50% chance she gets away or turns around and deletes 90% of your health bar before you can blink.

I'm sorry but I have zero admiration for LeBlanc's design. She is impossible to play against when ahead and useless to her team when behind and has much more mobility than any of the other champions listed, I don't mind seeing her winrate sit in the gutter for the next 5 seasons. And it doesn't help that most of her playerbase consists of trash-talking scumbags who rage at their team if they don't get fed and are afraid to admit that their champion is unusable without a 3000 gold lead and would rather blame their jungler on being trash etc.

You have no idea how good I felt when I saw EDG decimate Faker's undefeated LeBlanc in the final game of the MSI. They intentionally let him take LeBlanc because they knew he would pull out Ms. Undefeated for the last game of the MSI, and made him look like a fool on live broadcast for picking that infuriating one-trick pony of a champ. Pure Ecstasy.
