Irelia, Aatrox, Akali.. all being gutted for pro play.
Meanwhile.
Sion consistently being an unassailable wall while doing extreme damage and dominating pro games.

What are you talking about? Sion is literally also getting nerfed next patch?
Forgot about urgot, whos also going both mid and top yet riot only sees irelia doing that for some reason.
Current PBE changes:
Sion
-
Decimating Smash (Q) -
Minimum damage lowered from 30/50/70/90/110 to 20/40/60/80/100 -
Max damage lowered from 90/150/210/270/330 to 60/120/180/240/300 -
Soul Furnace (W) cooldown increased from 11 at all ranks to 15/14/13/12/11
Irelia was unbalanced and right now she could be called balanced if not weak, Aatrox is more situational than old Aatrox was (he can shred champs like jax and nasus but he will get shit on by many others) and if you think that Akali is anywhere close to weak......you either see bronze players playing her or you can't play her yourself.
Eeeeeeeh did you saw the Sion nerf on PBE ?
I assume you didn't.
I feel like Sion doesn’t get enough attention. He hasn’t left the meta since he got that completely unnecessary +300 damage buff on his ult for no reason a while back.
Because Irelia, Aatrox, and Akali are all frustrating to play against. Too mobile. Too much utility. Surviving because of stats is one thing, surviving because your champion can dash 3 times in 5 seconds and wall hop to safety if things look grim isn't fun. Akali was never banned because she was a monster killing EVERYONE, she was banned because she was antifun to lane against. Didn't even matter after laning, she was a dead weight to her team basically guaranteeing you a win but nobody wants to deal with that shit in lane.
Irelia, Aatrox and Akali weren't all gutted over just proplay though?
They were all common complaints from the general community and often had high banrates regardless of elo.
I'm pretty sure everyone is really happy that irelia and akali got gutted, good riddance.
Pretty sure they got nerfed because it is what people have been arguing as unhealthy ever since their reworks have come in. Very mobile, lots of cc, sustain and damage, and tankiness for Irelia and Aatrox. They were annoying to face.
I agree. I literally have a 22% wr on Akali cuz she got gutted. Meanwhile the enemy Sion is shredding my team no problem.
