Yes, mages are really struggling right now. I don't know why you'd ever pick one. Just go 5 adcs and autowin every game.

I know what it does. Struggling to last hit minions with autos is an intended weakness of AP champs, and it wasn't enough of one.

A special snowflake that apparently has no problem CSing without 5 extra damage on autos.

It's worse for everyone, and I fail to see why we should make CSing easier for mages that start Dring just because of the mages that never learned how to do it. I'm playing Vel'koz right now and CSing just fine. Ones of mages intended weaknesses is having a hard time CSing early in exchange for their waveclear later, and that 5 extra damage was a crutch that was making it **too** easy.

Considering his winrate on Akali is way higher than all his other champs and that he got to rank 1, then TF Blade must be the best Akali player to ever live. I wonder how he does it. I guess he's just that much better than everyone else in NA. LCS teams should move to sign him asap if he's really that good.

She now has pre-6 mobility. The changes to her W is one of the biggest buffs an ability has ever received. Not only does she now have mobility outside her ult, but pink wards are now useless against it as well.

With the assassin update, Riot basically decided that every assassin is a lane bully now. {{champion:84}} {{champion:55}} {{champion:91}} all went from being weak early to being lane bullies. The only assassin that's still weak early is Fizz, and he can definitely still kill you if you mess up.

If I were someone that Tyler1 trolled multiple times back in the day and I saw him on my team now, I'd probably consider trolling him too. People who get 22 accounts permabanned don't deserve a chance to turn it around and be a successful streamer making 6 figures annually, even if they've reformed. He's still a scumbag who profited off his toxic reputation and while I get that Riot is eager for a reform story, he had his chance 20 permabanned accounts ago. Riot is setting a dangerous precedent here: Become famous by being toxic, get banned, "reform", and then come back to your successful streaming career. Even if Tyler1 has reformed, he's still profiting massively from his bad behavior in the past and I can't be the only one bothered by that fact. For the sake of an absurd analogy, it's like a plantation owner freeing all his slaves and renouncing his wicked ways once he has millions tucked away. Even if he's legitimately remorseful about his past behavior, he is still reaping great benefits from that behavior.

Fighter/Bruiser Yas is exactly what Riot is trying to avoid. It's why he gets nerfed whenever his bruiser builds start becoming too strong. Yasuo is given as much mobility he is on the condition that he will not be tanky like a fighter, and if his build ever starts emulating Jax, he'll get nerfed again.

Your entire thesis is based on this statement being true. The problem is that it isn't true. If it were, you'd see a lot more Yasuo players in Challenger and you'd see a lot more Yasuo in pro play. In reality, Yasuo has far more in common with Master Yi than he does with Azir. A Master Yi played by a good player against unprepared players looks unstoppable, but that doesn't mean Master Yi isn't a bad champion. Yasuo isn't quite as feast or famine as Yi in that regard, but as a fellow squishy melee DPS champ, the principle remains the same.

You don't get a 70% winrate and rank 1 on the leaderboard by being "pretty good" at a balanced champion.
The way I see it, there are 2 possibilities. The first is that TF Blade is so good at Akali and so good at top lane that he can get rank 1 with a 70% winrate despite competing against the best players in the region and facing OP picks constantly. This seems to be your stance. Can you imagine how good Blade must be for this to be true? To dominate so hard on a balanced champ; he must be the best top laner NA has ever seen! Challenger players on top tier picks like Jayce and Orrn can't compete with him. And to top it off, he did this during season 7, where adcs dominated and top was considered the weakest role in the game. What a legend Blade is.
Or, Blade is a great player riding on the back of an OP champ that other top players haven't picked up on for some reason. It certainly wouldn't be the first time an OP champ went under the rader. Considering that he can't seem to match that level of success on any other champ, this one seems more likely.

Being able to reliably proc her Q and passive at early levels is a huge part of why Akalis laning is so strong since the rework.

Blade can't even get a 60% winrate on Irelia but has a 70% winrate on Akali. It's him, but it's also the champ. The fact that Akali can go top lane at all is a joke, let alone excel there like she currently is. I know Hash is a meme at this point but there's a reason he bitches about Akali so much; unless the Akali player is retarded, you can't do shit against her as most melee champs.

I do dislike him as a champion. Heavily. I hate champions that reward bad play, and WW most certainly does that. But I would dislike him a lot less if he wasn't overtuned as fuck. He's been sitting at around a 54% or higher winrate with a respectable pickrate since his rework was released and Riot seemingly doesn't care. Many junglers have been nerfed hard for less. Why the fuck is WW exempt? Because people don't complain about him enough? I don't see how. Between his hyperspeed, Q that follows dashes, on demand damage reduction, AOE fear, and retarded low health dueling, I don't see how people aren't bitching about this champion constantly. Hell, I didn't even mention his ultimate, as if dueling him wasn't stupid enough already. It is unreal how hard I need to outplay a WW to have any chance of besting him 1v1, even on early game junglers. He doesn't fall off as hard as most early game junglers either for some bizarre reason. But not only is WW stronger than other early game junglers while also scaling better, he's also far, far easier than most of them. Easy champs aren't supposed to be this good, but here we are.

It's all very interesting, but it's just not true. The game is becoming more team oriented, not less. Getting really fed on 1 champ is less likely to lead to a win than ever, provided that champ isn't Kog or Twitch.
As for your point about performance based LP gains: the reason is simple. Not only is your score massively influenced by your team, but game winning play and good KDA play are very often not the same thing. This becomes more and more obvious the higher elo you go.

I play in around Plat 1 - Dia 5 elo, which is easily the most toxic elo bracket in League. I also happen to main Yasuo. Based on these 2 factors, I can expect to get reported in the majority of my losses even if I don't say anything the entire game; people are salty as fuck here and love reporting teammates they don't like. Playing Yasuo makes me a very easy target for such abuse. Looks like I'll be stuck at Honor 0 forever if this is really how the system works.
