Once players see a champion capable of any of those feats they simply flock together and play that champion. Sadly there is no actual attachment to champions in ranked aside one trick ponies, we just abuse who is currently in power and the wheel of power is constantly spinning.
Its just like all those
players crying that they could not 1-2 shot they;re prey any longer
"FIX FIZZ HE ISNT FUN ANYMORE"
translation..
"ZOMG SO UNFAIR ITS LIKE THEY CAN STAND A CHANCE AGAINST MY FIZZ"
And where they go to next? youtube , reddit, various websites that poll information from higher elo and they copy what they see and follow like sheep thus the wheel has spun yet again. So don't be fooled by visuals and splash arts.
