Why are certain champions nerfed when they become relevant when

other champions aren't even touched when relevant/"op" ex. Lissandra in the beginning of s5, Evelynn whenever she saw play, Sejuani Sion with cinderhulk, Warwick with devourer, Cassiopeia when she was shifting into the meta, Anivia Swain with DFT, etc... All are champions that don't have such a high pick rate. However, it seems like when they're finally starting to see some play, they seem to get nerfed repeatedly (especially Evelynn but I know it's because of the passive) However, when YasuoJinx Leblanc VayneAhri Rengar Jax Fizz Irelia Kalista and a lot more are in an OP spot, whether it's because of a new item, mastery, direct buff, etc.... they are ignored and receive love taps at most even when lots of the whiny babies on reddit and the forums complain about how stupid they are. And when their win rate drops and they're in a "meh" spot? They get buffs immediately I've heard it's because when certain champions are good, they always win, while with others, it's not the case. But what do I know. I actually want to know why it's like this cause it's pretty funny. THIS IS NOT A QQ THREAD, I ACTUALLY WANT TO KNOW WHY

Because the League community hilariously overvalues outplay potential and 1v1 ability to the point where they think balanced champions with those strengths are broken. People don't actually know how good champions are because they either don't read data or blatantly ignore it. If these boards had their way, every mage would be OP, every assassin would be terrible, and towers would 1 shot you if you tried to dive them.
