Riven has 50% winrate & 10% playrate, buffed because "struggling against too many top laners"

With the out of the blue Shen nerfs in PBE right now, who has only 48% winrate & 5% playrate which is LESS than Riven does, what's your context on this?

Lemme guess, it's "We felt that Shen was too dominating in the top lane".

Thats why you should be like me and play Illaoi, fight cancer with more cancer.

Illaoi "Smile child, or I will slap the soul out of you."

Riven "The time for talk is over."

"An enemy has been slain."

Illaoi "YOU ARE NOT IN MOTION."

if a riven loses to illaoi report her for beeing autistic xd you just Q away from illaois ulti and watch her play with her tentacles then all in her and bye bye

In my experience, assuming even gold and xp, if Illaoi is near 1 or 2 tentacles, you don't even need ult to beat her up. Though to be fair I mainly play with high silvers-low gold, so most of the Rivens I face are kinda braindead.

10%. Now look at Galio's win/play rate & tell me again.

Galio is garbage and a lot of champs counter him and generally ad champs are meta not ap who would play Galio into a team with only one ap champ? and Rek'sai is meta Rek'sai ruins Galio cause she auto cancels his ulti if she is burrowed

The problem is that Shen is not a feed or famine type of champion. Due to his ultimate, he is useful at every stage of the game even when he's doing poorly. He's one of those champs like Urgot where you can't really balance him properly as he will always be either overbearingly strong or just "ok". 48% win rate is only 2% away from 50%, that's not terrible. His lower win rate is a lot better than him dominating every game like he's been seen to do in the past and I'm pretty sure that's what Riot is trying to keep under control.
