I felt the need to list my sources.

See, here's the really funny thing about having a champion with a 55% win-rate from minutes 0-25, which is to say... half the game: they are almost universally frustrating to fight. Remember old Darius? Remember tank Viktor and Ekko? All of them had this strange 'trait' where they mysteriously fall off in win%... after the game had already been decided by their B.S.

That in and of itself isn't O.K, but then he exemplifies this weird issue where he manages to spike to a win% of fifty-five to sixty percent when he finishes one item that he almost, always, rushes first. The same can be said for his win% in the support role -- upon finishing one or two items, regardless of ALL ELSE he spikes to a really, really high wr%.

...I don't think it needs to be said, but he isn't fun to fight. He isn't even fun to play. He is, quite literally, just "a way to get more LP." This is kind of shit that skews matchmaking, where you have these people who are 'good at the game' carried there only by their champion picks. Amumu's similar, but I'm going to pretend like I don't know Amumu's currently a huge problem too.

I have to ask you: what was the point of removing him from the support role only to make him even more of a juggernaut to the point that he ends up in the support role anyway? It seems oxymoronic and outright moronic. You want him to be out of the support role... and then... give him the capability to be a supertank that can save his allies in... the support role. Just like it was before, but now even less fun and far more frustrating to fight. Brilliant.
