Why Yasuo, Vayne, Lee Sin, and Riven are always being monitored.

I realized today why the "Outplay" Champs are always monitored and only changed slowly.

It is because while people (unrightfully in my opinion) complain about their kits, they are undoubtably hard champions.

And it is for this reason Riot doesnt want to change their kit nor do any MAJOR changes.

Although i wasn't there Syndra on release had a 25% winrate. And from my understanding it was because SHE WAS TOO DIFFICULT WITH TOO LITTLE OF A REWARD FOR LEARNING.

Quite simply Riot likes their kits they are UNDENIABLY very very well flowing kits that works well with each ability. So Riot needs to balance these champions carefully in order to not make them too much drastically more easy or difficult or different. Or else another Syndra may happen, with a low OR HIGH winrate.

Syndra had a few crippling bugs and numbers that were FAR too low on release. She's really not that difficult to play

Well yeah but these champions ARE difficult, meaning if they changed things to syndra numbers (Like the boards seem to want) then these actually fairly balanced just strange kits are now pointless. No champion EVEN SYNDRA deserves 25% winrate

NOT SYNDRA. Yasuo, Lee, Riven, Vayne are difficult.

Although i HEARD she was too hard on release for such a low payout. I dont know if she was more or less easy than now.

I would rather use the word "straightforward" than "really easy". There are some mechanics to grasp at first that put her above Annie, but after some games when you do, it is always clear what you want to do with her.

Exactly. Syndra was pretty good on release but incredibly unreliable because of her bugs so her winrate was appalling since anyone who figured her out abandoned her when they kept losing games because of a bug dumpstering a teamfight.

Nah, Syndra sucked ass on relaease. Even once the bugs were fixed she needed significant buffs
