The WR delta between the lower ELO K’sante players and the Elite is now approaching 9% (8.8% currently) in patch 13.21. Before the mini rework, it was 5.64% delta (check patches 13.19 and before). This is strange considering actual combos and mechanics were removed from his kit. Despite this, there is somehow even more skill separation even with him having technically fewer options in combat. Here are some specific numbers.

You can look at 13.19 too (I skipped to 13.18 because 13.19 had fewer total games in higher ELO for whatever reason than 13.18). Basically the pattern earlier patches too.
So the success rate in lower ELO’s definitely looks like a step in the right direction, but I would imagine having such dramatic variance between divisions of play is going to still present balance struggles. His ban rate still remains quite high after the quick fix deployed to his Q cast at the end of last week. Also, I’m curious why this is happening in the first place.
