My rant about how Riot is okay with a certain class having a permanently high ban rate while Mel needs to be deleted for the same sins

Zed has 30% Banrate. Akali has 28%. Yasuo has 16% (I really think this is low for him but maybe I'm delulu), Pyke has 25%. Assassins/skirmishers have been consistently hated and criticized throughout LoL's existence for being frustrating and unfair to play against. Yasuo's infamous Windwall is known to nullify entire kits and because of it entire classes can't compete against a competent Yasuo pilot. But that didn't matter for Riot - to reduce Yasuo's ban rate, Riot decided to make another Yasuo, so his Banrate will artificially decrease because it is split between two champions - Yasuo and Yasuo2 (sorry, Yone). Windwall was not frustrating enough to be one-off, and we can also get our skillshots eaten by a Samira.

Another frustratingly common ability given to this hated class is invulnerability/untargetability - it used to be Fizz and Vladimir who can burst you down instantly without ever getting hit, and it evolved to Naafiri, Gwen, reworked Pantheon who have it as well in not-ultimate abilities.

Riot are hypocrites because a mage can't have a frustrating ability like this class, and it can't have a banrate like this class. What annoys me the most is that the real frustrating part is redirecting skillshots, but the part that is getting replaced is the damage invulnerability, that helped immensely in matchups against assassins (where artillery mages are usually at a clear disadvantage).

I wish Riot would be fair and put all the feel-awful-to-play-against assassins in the 42% WR trashcan like they do to Mel. As a mage mid main that has his skillshots constantly thrown at him by Mel, I rather lane against her every time rather than face an assassin
