I tried mastering Kennen. Playing him at low elo is a mistake. He is a team reliant champion. He works in professional play because of the level of teamwork and the intimacy between allies involved there.
Jayce is with 50 % winrate - 9 wins, 9 losses. OP as fk. Nerf him, don't wait. If you nerf according to the performance in this tournament, Alistar, Jhin, Ryze, Syndra and Viktor have to be nerfed. And Ryze is still with one of the lowest winrates in the game. Imagine nerfing him even more.
the people that already play these champions already knew about it. and it's not secretly op, it's just that everything looks better when pros do it. Kennen has his clear weaknesses like not having good farming skills, but excels in teamfight utility and mild harass. Jayce has strong harass, but suffers from mana early on and can't burst as well as others like pantheon, he needs to poke you down first with his ranged Q. Syndra..... she's goddamn syndra. she hits R and your HP disappears faster than LeBlanc wishes she could. Syndra's main weakness is low mobility and she relies a lot on skillshots pre-6, though her waveclear is pretty good because her spells are pretty much AOEs with the right placement.
