There's so much damage around that only tanky champs are viable

You know when reach 55+% win rate something is up. There's just so much free damage on everything - new masteries/item passives/etc. that only tanks can survive it while still being able to dish out damage from all the free passive damage.

are rising just to combat all the tanks at the top while having enough health to survive.

This is also the reason why and other AD or on-hit assassins are being contained right now - otherwise they'd be running rampant and melting faces.

TL;DR Riot is going to have a hell of a time trying to balance this season

Yasuo, Rengo and Lee are incredibly good right now.

Yes - when tanks aren't around. That's the only reason why their win rates don't reflect just how ridiculous they are.

Yasuo is too easy to shut down pre-mid game and mid game CC and blow him up

Rengar still has his ulti then dive in Double E or q then use whatever skills you have remaining. Only failure will happen if the enemy has disengage making him useless (Or even 1 cc to peel rengar off on the leap, requires twitch reflexes)

Lee is lee, in the hands of main he'll find someway to be useful lol.

So I gotta say out of that only lee is consistantly useful since I forgot to mention rengar lost youmuu's crit chance so he can't really 100-0 someone in 0.1-0.25 seconds unless he somehow gets 3-5 lucky crits in a row(And his usual burst takes only 5-10 basic attacks including double q

I thought Eve was a hybrid assassin?

I mentioned on-hit too, but you're missing the point...

My apologies. Remember the preseason is a time for changes first.

I can, like Billy says; "Guarantee it"

This is not the reason. Shen has be a extremely viable pick for a long time, just really underplayed. The same can be said for Rammus, and Volibear. Its a good thing to try and examine why certain champions are where they are, and why certain ones are winning more now.... But you missed the mark.

Correct me then. Why are they shooting up in win rate right now? Unless you're saying Shen/Rammus/Volibear/etc. have always been at 55% win rate?

In season four my win rate with Shen was over 70% With the recent changes his job is easier now and much more so. The changes I am looking at as having a bigger effect on the game/gameplay and/or Play style are Items, and masteries.

And are a higher rank than me... You should be able to easily see this. As Volibear Grasp of the Undying making him harder to deal with especially since the harass you just dealt was healed the moment he touched you. and 4 seconds later he harasses and heals...You got it, some moar. Now imagine facing shen... Self heals?, Life steal? and Grasp of the undying? Well shite.

Oh Hai! Darius

My name is Darius! I like Deathfire Touch because it procs on my passive hemorrhage..... Oh you are bleeding? Have some more.

Oh me too, I like Deathfire Touch as well! Fizz Singed Morgana Malzahar Fiddlesticks Anivia

The point I am making? Oh that's Some of the masteries synergize many times better with other champions making the harder to punish or their punishment dealt to you more powerful. I have laughed as I take a brand with DFT and watch patiently as some poor soul walks off screen into the fog and then "Enemy Slain!"
