Looking at the highly criticized "failure champions" of recent years. There is a pattern.
To a extent
These champions are not "pro picks" because they have strong numbers. They have a defensive "I pressed this and you can do nothing about it" button. Most of them just "remove" themselves from the game to be non-interactive, and due to the law of this game that "defensive abilities are determined by the user who will use it or not thus makes it virtually impossible to be proactively baited"
It creates the worst of results.
Or in other words. Riot logic: If you are invincible for a certain amount of time, why do you need tanks or defensive items?
