New Champs Being AND Staying Pick or Ban Pro
It means their design is bad. It also means they are safe and strong since they (
) t can do everything including carry. Both are impervious to metas, bc no meta can take away all their tools. The only way to make them like other champs is gut them to limit everything since they do everything.
I like Sylas (besides his chains should look cooler) but he has ranged poke, great passive, great sustain, amazing pull and knock up, movement, one of the strongest ults in the game, and can carry. Not to mention his wave clear is out of sight, which also brings tremendous value. So in every game there will be no way to keep him quiet or win through him bc you can not take away everything he does. He will be pick or ban from this point forth, unless gutted bc his kit is too good. Which is bad. Champs whether macro or micro need clear identities so there is a reason to pick or ban them. For example Rek being pick or ban is very temporary, and so was Viktor top.
The two I mentioned initially (
) have been so since their releases and will stay that way bc they do too much. Camille and Irelia do a lot but do not have near the safety (strong consistent laning) as Sylas and the other guy. Everything has a cost bc of the how the game works, and those two have a hefty bill to pay. Ryze gets a ton of pro play and is hardly ever pick or ban. I honestly shouldn't even have to write this to Riot, they should know already, but it is what it is. You're welcome.
