Botlane champs that needs buffs and nerfs (according to me)

Currently there are some botlane champs that are totally unviable:

Pyke: Pyke is just way too slow for anything to land. With a Pyke as support your playing a 1vs2 botlane (GL winning that), buff Pyke.

Lulu: argubly situational and can work if the other team has mostly meeles and there is someone on your team to protect that deals lot of dmg. But overall weak even then.

Rakan: suffers the same issues as Pyke. Super slow spells that are way too easy to dodge. Even if you are stunned you have an additional minute to dodge his spells.

Sona: high risk low reward kind of champ, requires massive skills to play her (one small misstep and she is done), but unlike Zyra/brand her damage is null.

Kalista: needs a buff of some sort.

Tham Kench: people think u trolling when you pick this champ.

Nautilus: just not viable, even if you land a hook u loose the trade.

And there are some champs that are just too good and need nerfs:

Vayne: most forgiving/scaling ADC in game, almost everyone bans her, winrate is good, pickrate too, should be enough to justify the nerf, let other ADCs shine too.

Sivir: her autoattack animation is just too smooth and Sivir is too good at both splitpushing/teamfighting and 1v1.

Draven: only need one bloodthirster and there is little you can do all of a sudden.

Pyke is fine, buffing him again would make him overtuned. Sona is JUST fine right now. I do NOT want to see any Sona buffs.

i am saying this as a Naut main. You seem to forget one thing. Players might be caught of guard by off meta picks. I find maut hooks much easier to land than blitzcrank or thresh hooks because few people expect that particular skillshot size, speed and range.

Agree: Vayne nerf, Kalista buff (or at least a QoL change for her passive to make it flow better, cause it feels super clunky.) and Tahm buff (I feel like it should be on his E's gray health conversion rate tbh...PYKE outheals Tahm in gray health, and Pyke isn't a tank.)

Possibly: Draven and Sivir. In the case of the ADCs, I feel like they're arguably balanced, but very snowbally. If you set them back, they're not worth much. Particularly Sivir. But if you let Sivir waveclear for too long, or you let Draven get too many free hits with his spinning axes, you lose, and obviously, if you Leeroy it in and feed them, you lose even harder. If you play smart, you can set them to the point of no recovery.

Disagree: Supports, Nautilus. First of all, let me say that Naut, despite feeling a little undertuned by mid game at the moment, can literally go anywhere. And for those about to say "wtf, naut can't mid!" I will say he's a great counterpick to certain mages cough, Kat, cough, Fizz, cough, Akali or champions that like to jump directly on top of you. AP Naut mid can work pretty well, actually, if you just max Q, E, R, W and build for full burst (seriously...start with W, stick with farm early, rush Luden's then Veil, and by the time you hit lv 4-6, you're gonna destroy melee casters.) I don't have to go into detail on his tanking capabilities, because those are meta for the other 3 roles he takes (top, jng, sup) and everyone knows him. I don't think he's undertuned - I still think a lot of champions are a bit overtuned (particularly, most AD assassins (Shojin + Duskblade...) and certain ADCs and bruisers (Steraks or Guinsoos) that can abuse the highlighted items to an overwhelming degree.) As for the rest...if you give the supports more damage, they're gonna be busted. Most of the supports on your list (Not Pyke, but the other 3 most times) like to build either Ardent or Redemption as a first item. That mana regen, ESPECIALLY on Sona and Lulu, means you're gonna be dealing with too much poke damage already. No reason for it to be enough to massacre the enemies solo.

Pyke nononono, I main Pyke and I feel he's fine where he is, any buff at this point risks pushing him over the edge, and knowing rito that'll mean he'll get some heavy handed nerfs that make him useless afterwards

Jinx needs nerfing as well.

Nice April fool's joke right here. You had me for a second there.
