When 10 bans will come what will reach 100% ban rate, and what Riot will do with such champions?

I'll be honest, I have over 100k mastery points on Kat and I have no idea how you're supposed to defend against her early all-in.

play galio mid then laugh at her damage both early and late

Easy. Play

Not stand near a dagger and outplay her wanting to go on it. If you have a CC, you never have to use it unless it is to cancel her ult.

play away from her daggers ideally, if she starts a trade with E than you should be able to hit her with CC if your champ has any and stop her momentum right than and there. If you have no instant CC you're pretty screwed tho

What do you play against a team of ADC's? I use it in lane to re-engage a lot but i'v never been able to straight up zone an entire team just because of a W.

As a katarina main myself, i'v never lost to her when i fight her myself, after playing her and learning her i'v learned to play against her too. It's the same way that i never have trouble fighting Yorick, Ekko or Illaoi, their my mains i should know how to fight them and what to do.

I LOVE the rework, it made her so much more fun and people can't complain that she's braindead anymore because she really isn't. She wasn't before but people would always say it anyway.

The boards seem to be divided between those who think Yasuo has an overloaded kit, and becomes overpowered by definition/in skilled hands, and those that know the strenghts and weaknesses of him and know how to fight against him but would rather prefer to ban him instead, since dealing with Yasuo is a huge pain in the ass.

Just because a champ isn't picked in the LCS doesn't mean it's not OP......

That being said, Yasuo isn't OP, just not very fun to play against, which people translate into being OP. Honestly, he's my most hated champ to play against. That's why Lee and Riven are hated too.

They aren't overpowered, just super annoying to play vs.

That's exactly what I've been asking. I've been playing her (for a while, not recently) because she's got clear strengths and weaknesses; I can play to those well, so I choose her.

I think it's because some streamer got multiple accounts to Master tier using some dumbass full-damage Vi build, and it got popular.

kassadin was the holy mother of just how busted a champion could be. near 100% pick/ban rate from bronze v to challenger. he was a god. all hail kassadin.

I was around at the time. His kit was THE assassin anti-mage. Passive had the 15% reduced Magic damage taken and gave him AS when hit by a spell (passive didn't really do much for his playstyle). His Q unlike today had a second or two silence and I think higher damage, but didn't have today's spell shield, it was his big "fuck you" to mages and anybody he dropped on. His W was a passive active where he simply got on hit mana back and Magic damage when activated. His E was the same as today. The really big part was his ult, which was a LOT longer range than it is today, but longer CD (I think something like 6 seconds at max level). His laning phase was basically just farm up and poke the enemy mid, which was going to be a mage since this was pre-zed, all while taking reduced damage from them, bum rush a catalyst into rod, hit 6 and make the mid and ADC your bitch until the game was over.

Tl;dr was he was a high damage assassin without counterplay.
