champions that are due to their kit, "bad"
I think there are champions that through no means of balance could be competitive in high elos or the lcs, simply due to their kit. that the only way they could be competitive in that level of play, they would need obnoxious stats, that would make them unfairly dominating.
I think that to some extent this can be useful design:a champion that is linear to play for example allows new players to learn the strategic aspects of the game. for example, warwick, who is actually pretty strong, but in higher elos is quite predictable in his decisions and easily kited when caught out. to another extent this is poor design: it creates champions that are frustrating or worse dominating to play against in lower that they might seem balanced or underpowered when looking elsewhere. for example, illaoi, whose damage is dominating in low elos but whose low mobility makes her next to unplayable in high elos.
