She’s super popular, super fun to play, and is seeing play at all skill brackets.

I definitely think she needs some fine tuning – she somehow STILL has a 52/53% winrate in low/mid elo despite REPEATED nerfs patch after patch – but unlike champs like Zeri or K’Sante I don’t think she’s inherently unbalanceable.

She’s had a positive effect on the jungle meta, and obtained a bunch of new OTPs. To me at least, she’s a highlight of 2023, which otherwise had the very forgettable Milio and Naafiri, the latter of which is actively OP at low elo and yet hardly anyone plays her (3% pickrate in silver/gold even with a 54% winrate last patch).

Is she the most positive champion release since Renata?

    People praise Renata because you see her once per 100 games. She is in same tier as Zil. People would ban her a lot, if she was popular.

      She has a 6% playrate, which puts her support pool with other standard supports. Looking at the 5%-7% champions:

      Lulu
      Pyke
      Janna
      Renata
      Karma
      Xerath
      Bard
      Nami
      Ashe
      Milio
      Zyra
      Soraka
      Alistar
      Morgana

      She’s not exactly common enough to user your ban on, which is more or less the same with everyone else in that range (maybe morg, she pulls a lot of bans).
