With all the hate CT gets... Youd expect champs like Jhin and Senna to get some of that, too.

considering how very powerful, but not as flashy they are.

Senna in particular has strength bordering on the absurd. Shes a raid boss type champion (meaning she scales infinitely) with targeted damage, a global lane wide attack (this isnt one you can miss. It might as well be targeted), stealth, AND reliable semi-hard CC. Not to mention her scaling is some of the most powerful stats in the game; AD, Range, Critical strike chance, AND lifesteal. The amount of free stats she gets is beyond crazy.

This is kindred+nasus+veigar levels of scaling.

Thresh scales infinitely... Dont think people notice that much.

Senna's busted as hell. If I had any hope left for League, I'd be raising shit over her, but it's been clear for some time that Riot doesn't truly care any more, so why should I?

As for Jhin, he's pretty bad. BUT, again because Riot doesn't actually care any more, the whole game is suffering from severe mobility creep, which keeps Jhin in check as he doesn't handle mobility well defensively.

Why Jhin? Jhin always has a very low ban rate for how strong he is. He embodies the concept of the idea that a champion can be both fun to play and fun to play against and as a result, people don't ban as much as other champions even when he is strong. Jhin's major flaw comes from the fact that his passive easily lends itself to reaching overpowered levels from specific item interactions. The champions people most associate with CT are poorly designed regardless of items and therefore draw high banrates out of proportion to how strong they are on a given patch.

Reserving judgement on Senna until she gets released, her kit seems like it can be decently balanced as long as she has proper mana costs and cast times to make up for her long range. We have seen with nasus and veigar that infinite scaling is completely fine as long as there are proper limitations to how the champion can take advantage of said scaling. Nasus with 3 second Siphon strikes was fine, Nasus with 1 second siphon strike starts to create problems.

People in general are pretty sheepish most of the time. Its common sense if you look at things objectively that CT isnt making the most problematic champions on the rift overall(save for Yasuo) but you still have people honestly thinking that now that he is not designing champions that they would be free from champions like Senna from releasing.

And riot claims she's a hybrid support, lol.

No... People seem to hate Senna just fine here lol. Nothing different this time around.
